Horizon Minerals (HRZ) produces its first gold from the Boorara Gold Project.

Boorara adds significant progress to its Western Australian portfolio.

Positive outlook driven by ongoing mining, strategic projects, and potential merger synergies.

Horizon Minerals (ASX:HRZ) has achieved a major milestone by pouring its first gold bar from the Boorara Gold Project, establishing itself as Australia’s newest gold producer in 2025. Located just 10km east of the renowned Super Pit Gold Mine in Western Australia, the Boorara project has now set the stage for Horizon's transition to becoming a mid-tier gold producer.

In a recent announcement, the company detailed significant progress at the Boorara site. The first stockpile, totaling 56,654 wet metric tonnes with an average grade of 0.8 grams per tonne gold, was transported to Norton Gold Fields’ Paddington Mill in December 2024. Continued haulage has progressed into January 2025, culminating with the complete delivery of the initial stockpile to the mill as of January 14, 2025.

With a market capitalisation of $73.82 million, Horizon Minerals has achieved half of its planned delivery schedule and anticipates its first payment from Paddington by January 21, 2025. This marks a positive step forward for the company, supported by its substantial resource base of 1.8 million ounces of gold spread across multiple projects.

According to CEO Grant Haywood, Boorara is just the beginning. The company is simultaneously advancing its Penny’s Find and Cannon projects, both nearing final investment decisions. Additionally, Horizon expects to leverage cashflow from these projects and its Boorara operations to support a refurbished Black Swan mill after finalizing its merger with Poseidon Nickel (ASX:POS).

Ongoing activity at Boorara remains strong, with mining underway at pits two and four. This will contribute to the formation of subsequent stockpiles for further processing, reinforcing the company’s sustainable gold production pipeline.

Horizon Minerals’ steady progress comes during a favorable period for gold producers, with gold prices holding firm around $4,331.51 per ounce as of January 15, 2025. The robust market conditions have supported gold-producing companies, enhancing their valuations and bolstering investor confidence.

As Horizon Minerals continues its momentum in Western Australia’s Goldfields, the company is poised to benefit from its strategic investments, operational advancements, and expanding project portfolio, making it one to watch in the mining sector.
