St Barbara lifts Canada 15Mile mineral resources by 500,000 ounces to 2.5 million ounces
St Barbara reported a 0.5Moz (+20%) Mineral Resource Estimate increase at its Canada 15Mile Processing Hub to 2.5Moz, supported by additional drilling and methodology updates. The company plans an updated pre-feasibility study by end-September and a subsequent reserves update, improving project visibility. However, broader gold-miner weakness alongside a medium-term gold price downtrend muted equity reaction, limiting immediate market-wide impact.
