Catalina Resources Ltd
Catalina Resources Ltd (ASX: CTN, formerly Shree Minerals Limited until November 2022) is a West Perth-based grassroots gold explorer in Western Australia. Its flagship is the Palisade Gold Project, established in the June 2026 quarter by consolidating the Chicken Little, Snowflake, T8 and Megatron prospects into a single continuous mineralised corridor of roughly 12-14 kilometres in the Central Yilgarn. A Phase 1 reverse-circulation programme of approximately 8,452 metres across 69 holes at the Evanston and Yerilgee projects returned 33 holes at 0.3 g/t Au or better and 70 samples above 0.5 g/t Au. During the same quarter Catalina acquired a district-scale Mid-West gold portfolio, and it has since begun a 1,500-sample gold-in-soil programme at the Kirkalocka Gold Project, which sits adjacent to the existing Kirkalocka gold processing plant. The company has no mineral resource estimate: the 60,000-330,000 oz Au figure it has published for the combined Palisade area is a conceptual JORC Exploration Target, not a resource, and is recorded as such rather than written to this database's ounces field.

Lifecycle Milestones
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal the underlying research identifies — whether a major already holds a JV, earn-in, or 5–19.9% strategic stake — isn't tracked yet and is absent from this score.

CONCEPTUAL EXPLORATION TARGET, NOT A RESOURCE -- deliberately not written to ouncesFound. Catalina has published an Exploration Target of approximately 60,000-330,000 oz Au across the combined Palisade Gold Project area at grades of 0.76-3.08 g/t Au. Under JORC an Exploration Target is conceptual by definition; the company's own disclosure states further drilling is required before any resource estimate can be determined. Supporting drilling to date: ~8,452 m of RC across 69 holes at Evanston/Yerilgee, 33 holes >=0.3 g/t Au, 70 samples >0.5 g/t Au.
