GoldArc Resources holds a 936-square-kilometre district-scale land position across the Leonora-Kookynie gold belt in Western Australia, flanked by Genesis Minerals, Northern Star, and Vault Minerals, with roughly 200,000 ounces of JORC-compliant resources defined across its Leonora North and Leonora South hubs; the company is advancing two partner-funded, capital-efficient pathways to production -- with BML Ventures at Mt Stirling and Mineral Mining Services funding up to A$20 million of initial development at Leonora South -- targeting first gold as early as Q4 2026.

Milestones are recorded only from a company's own dated disclosure. A milestone with no date shown is one we can confirm was reached but for which no date was disclosed — we don't estimate one. "Not yet reached" means exactly that, not that a date is missing. An "Expected" line likewise only ever reflects the company's own guidance (e.g. a study or permit decision targeted for a stated quarter) — most not-yet-reached milestones have none, and that absence means no such guidance has been disclosed, not that one is overdue.
Combined view across 2 projects. Figures below are only combined where the underlying basis genuinely matches -- see the notes under each.
Jurisdiction (40%)9/10
Western Australia: Fraser PPI 2025 is 88.53 of 100 (rank 13 of 68), which maps to 9 on this site's scale. Western Australia, Australia — top-tier, low political-risk mining jurisdiction.
Infrastructure (40%)No verified figure
Researched with nothing found: no source we could cite confirms or rules out an existing mill, road access, grid power, or tailings facility at Leonora North Gold Project (Mt Stirling), Western Australia (checked Oct 2, 2026; recheck due Mar 31, 2027). Counts at a neutral 5/10 until one does.
Nearby producing mine (20%)10/10
Leonora (Gwalia plant) (Genesis Minerals Limited) is 4 km away -- within shared-mill trucking range.
Acquisition Susceptibility
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 in the research, a producer that already owns part of the company, is scored from its disclosed strategic shareholders. A producer that is a joint-venture or earn-in partner on the project, rather than a shareholder, isn't captured yet.
How this score is built
- Disclosed pending dealSub-score: Not scored
No pending acquisition or merger disclosed (checked)
Not scored: having no deal in flight isn't held against a company.
Weight 26.25% - Producer's strategic stakeSub-score: Not scored
No producer holds a disclosed stake on file (holder register researched) See holders
Not scored: most juniors that do get bought had no prior toehold, so a missing stake says little either way.

Insiders, Investors & Smart Money
Notable shareholders and insiders whose involvement is worth knowing about, plus what we're seeing from institutional/large-investor activity.
GoldArc is the former Asra Minerals, renamed in September 2025, holding the Mt Stirling and Kookynie ground around Leonora in Western Australia with a 200,000-ounce JORC resource. The shares have re-rated sharply — up over 400% — but we could not reach a shareholder register for it: the company publishes no substantial-holder list on its website, no producer or strategic shareholder or joint-venture partner is disclosed, and there are no named institutional holders or director-dealing records in our data. Reported institutional ownership is 2.5%, against management at about 30%.

Reports, Presentations & Documents
GoldArc Resources, formerly Asra Minerals, holds a 936 km2 land position in the Leonora-Kookynie gold belt of Western Australia, with about 200,000 oz of JORC resources across its Leonora North and Leonora South hubs. The only indicated material is 26,000 oz of gold at the Viserion deposit at Mt Stirling (391,000 t at 2.1 g/t), with no measured category, and the remaining 174,014 oz is inferred. GoldArc took Mt Stirling to 100% ownership in January 2026, BML Ventures funds all of the capital and operating costs to bring it into production in return for an equal share of net profits, and the Mining Development and Closure Proposal for Mt Stirling and Mt Stirling Well has been approved, the final regulatory step before development. At Leonora South, which has inferred resources only, Mineral Mining Services is funding development drilling, and the company has targeted first gold as early as the fourth quarter of 2026.
