Stavely Minerals

What Stavely Minerals does

Stavely Minerals Limited is an Australian mineral exploration company listed on the ASX (ASX:SVY) and headquartered in Nedlands, Western Australia. Its asset portfolio comprises three projects: the Stavely and Ararat Projects in western Victoria (copper-gold-silver, covering in excess of 1,000 km² over the Stavely Volcanic Belt) and the Hawkstone Project in the Kimberley region of northern Western Australia (nickel-copper-cobalt, covering approximately 600 km²). The flagship is the Thursday's Gossan prospect on retention licence RL2017, where the September 2019 Cayley Lode discovery identified shallow, high-grade, structurally controlled copper-gold-silver mineralisation with geological analogues to world-class Butte (Montana) and Magma (Arizona) deposits. A March 2026 updated Total Mineral Resource Estimate for Thursday's Gossan and the adjacent Carroll's Copper Deposit reports 60Mt at 0.58% CuEq (0.46% Cu, 0.09 g/t Au, 2.8 g/t Ag), containing 280,000 tonnes of copper, 170,000 ounces of gold and 5.4 million ounces of silver, with 58–63% of contained metal in the higher-confidence Indicated Resource category.

Underlying exploration technology is conventional for the sector: aerial surveying, ground mapping, rock, water and soil sampling, auger sampling, air core and diamond drilling, supplemented by a 2023 detailed airborne gravity gradiometer survey at Hawkstone targeting Nova-style magmatic Ni-Cu sulphide mineralisation within the Ruins Dolerite. The 2022–2026 MRE update captured a 113% increase in tonnage over the prior 2022 estimate, with contained copper up 31%, gold up 67% and silver up 69%. Tenure expansion has been supported by the December 2021 Black Range Joint Venture, through which Stavely earned 80% equity in exploration licence EL5425 with Aureka Limited (formerly Navarre Minerals).

The business model is pre-revenue capital-markets-driven exploration: the company has no commercial production, no product sales and no customer-facing pricing structures, and value realisation runs through ASX equity issuance and, eventually, offtake or smelter sales once development progresses. A Scoping Study for copper-gold-silver production at Thursday's Gossan is in preparation. Customer targeting is therefore not end-market oriented; the primary "customer" is the ASX investor base, with broker coverage from GBA Capital, Argonaut, Petra Capital, Morgans and Euroz Hartleys, alongside conference and webinar engagement (Resource Rising Star, RIU conferences). Leadership includes Executive Chair & Managing Director Chris Cairns (former MD of Integra Mining, taken over by Silver Lake for A$426M in 2013) and Executive Technical Director Jennifer Murphy, with Non-Executive Directors Peter Ironside, Amanda Sparks and Robert Dennis (former COO of Independence Group, responsible for the Nova Nickel Project).
