Hamelin (ASX:HMG) Advances West Australian Gold Projects with Strategic Capital Raise

Highlights 

• Hamelin (HMG) raises capital for gold drilling in WA 
• New exploration plans set for West Tanami and Yilgarn regions 
• Targets include Jazz, Fremlins, Anderson, and Venus projects 

Hamelin Gold (ASX:HMG), a mineral explorer with tenements across key gold provinces in Western Australia, has successfully completed a fresh capital raise to support upcoming exploration programs. The placement involved the issue of approximately 1.43 million shares at $0.07 per share, with participation from several strategic investors. 

Following shareholder approval at a general meeting held on 20 June 2025, the company proceeded with its second tranche of the share placement. This tranche included allocations to directors and related entities, indicating continued commitment from company insiders. In parallel, 2 million options were also issued to lead managers, aligning incentives for long-term progress. 

The raised funds will be used to accelerate drilling and exploration efforts across Hamelin’s West Tanami and Yilgarn region tenements—two of Western Australia's most promising gold territories. 

Exploration Targets and Strategy 

At West Tanami, the company is preparing to initiate a detailed program combining reverse circulation and diamond drilling across prospects such as Jazz and Fremlins. Additional aircore and RC drilling is planned at other regional prospects, supported by geochemical sampling campaigns aimed at identifying and extending underexplored gold trends. 

Meanwhile, in the Yilgarn region, Hamelin is planning a diamond drilling campaign at the Anderson anomaly. This will be followed by RC drilling at the Ularring project area. The company is also set to progress work on the Venus Project, another prospective gold target within its regional portfolio. 

The multi-pronged strategy underscores Hamelin's intent to define large-scale gold systems, leveraging the company's vast land position in these historically productive terrains. 

Sector Momentum and Industry Linkages 

This fundraising initiative aligns with broader investor interest in Australia’s gold sector, as developers and explorers benefit from strong commodity prices and robust demand dynamics. Companies like Gold Fields (NYSE:GFI) and Vault Minerals (ASX:VAU) have shown confidence in Hamelin’s vision through their investment participation. 

Although Hamelin is not currently part of the ASX200, its ongoing development strategy and growing investor base place it in a favourable position among emerging Australian resource companies. 

With substantial landholdings in two of the most geologically prospective gold provinces, Hamelin is positioning itself for potential resource growth and long-term development milestones.
