Ordell Minerals Limited is a Western Australian gold explorer whose flagship is the Barimaia Gold Project near Mount Magnet in the Murchison district, in which it has earned an 80.3% joint-venture interest. Barimaia centres on the McNabs East prospect, targeting granodiorite/felsic-intrusion-hosted gold over roughly 7km of strike, geologically analogous to Ramelius Resources' Eridanus deposit approximately 6km to the northwest. A major approximately 14,000-metre drilling program commenced 17 August 2026 -- roughly 10,000m of infill RC across the McNabs East Main and Northern Zones plus approximately 4,000m of aircore testing for new felsic intrusions -- bringing total drilling between May and September 2026 to approximately 20,000m. Recent extensional diamond drilling returned 4.6m at 19.60g/t gold from 177.0m (including 0.8m at 89.43g/t), 15.8m at 2.94g/t from 109.8m and 9.7m at 1.94g/t from 203.2m, with mineralisation open down-dip and down-plunge to the east. A maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for McNabs East is targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026, with mining studies to follow it; no Mineral Resource has been declared on Barimaia or on the wholly-owned Goodia and Fisher South projects to date. The company held A$8.215 million in cash at 30 June 2026 with no debt or financing facilities of any kind.

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.

Reports, Presentations & Documents
stage=GRASSROOTS, checked rather than defaulted -- and deliberately NOT RESOURCE_DEFINITION despite the company itself describing the current program as 'resource definition' drilling: no JORC Mineral Resource has been declared on Barimaia, Goodia or Fisher South, and the maiden McNabs East MRE is explicitly TARGETED for Q4 2026 (17 Aug 2026 announcement), i.e. future, not declared. Per this repo's 'stage is a claim, not a label' rule the stage follows what is actually published, not what is guided. RECHECK ~Jan 2027: if the maiden MRE lands as guided this becomes RESOURCE_DEFINITION. TRAP FLAGGED FOR FUTURE PASSES: pages 2 and 15 of the June 2026 quarterly carry resource figures for Eridanus (24Mt @ 1.7g/t for 1.3Moz) and a table of Mt Magnet/Big Bell/Dalgaranga -- these are NEIGHBOURING resources owned by Ramelius and Westgold, cited for geological context, and must NOT be attributed to ORD. commodity=GOLD: the company's own homepage describes a 'gold and lithium exploration portfolio' (lithium prospectivity at Goodia and Fisher South), but lithium is prospectivity only with no defined target or resource, and this schema's Commodity enum has no LITHIUM value -- mapping it to the generic OTHER bucket would add a tag conveying nothing specific, so it is recorded in the description instead and deliberately not added as a MinerCommodity. Nickel, which stockanalysis.com's third-party profile blurb lists, is NOT carried: it appears nowhere in the company's own current project descriptions (the June 2026 quarterly references historical nickel work at Fisher South only as legacy data to be evaluated). debtUsd=0 is a real, sourced nil (Appendix 5B item 7 financing facilities entirely blank, no interest paid at item 1.5), not an unresearched default.
