Redcastle Resources Ltd
Redcastle Resources Limited (ASX: RC1; formerly Transcendence Technologies Limited, renamed December 2021) holds the Redcastle Gold Project in Western Australia's Eastern Goldfields, about 58 km east-southeast of the Gwalia gold mine in the Leonora-Laverton greenstone belt. Its Queen Alexandra and Redcastle Reef deposits carry a JORC (2012) Mineral Resource of 488,000 t at 2.7 g/t Au for 42,000 oz (June 2025), of which 313,000 t at 2.4 g/t for 25,000 oz is Indicated and the rest Inferred. Under a joint venture signed in August 2025, BML Ventures funds and runs mining and arranges toll milling, and the two companies split surplus gold-sale proceeds 50-50 after BML recovers its costs. Open-pit mining began at Redcastle Reef in May 2026, and by 31 August 2026 the ROM-pad stockpiles held an estimated 144,800 t at 1.43 g/t Au for about 6,600 oz. After a carbon-in-leach tank failure at Wiluna Mining's plant, the planned toll mill, BML temporarily suspended mining in August 2026 and placed the site on care and maintenance while the joint venture seeks other processing; no gold has yet been sold. Redcastle's only economic study is a scoping study released in August 2025 for a short-life open pit at Queen Alexandra with toll treatment; no pre-feasibility or feasibility study has been completed. Redcastle is also exploring the surrounding tenements, including the Kilkenny Belt package in which it can earn a 60% interest.

Lifecycle Milestones
Construction Milestones
3 of 5 reachedMilestones 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.
Not yet determined: mill, tailings facility, grid power.

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

Not scored: most juniors that do get bought had no prior toehold, so a missing stake says little either way.

Notable shareholders and insiders whose involvement is worth knowing about, plus what we're seeing from institutional/large-investor activity.
No producer, specialist fund or institution shows up on the register (0% institutional). The company's May 2026 A$2M placement was broker-led with no named strategic investor, and every insider transaction on file is coded ambiguously ('Other') rather than as a clean open-market purchase. A real check that found nothing.
