Auric Mining says it has acquired the Union Jack gold project near Coolgardie in Western Australia, aiming to add about 102,000 ounces of shovel-ready resources to its existing plans. The company describes the project as close to its Burbanks mill, positioning it to potentially support near-term gold production.

The purchase is structured as a cash-and-scrip deal, according to the reports. While the outlets provide the same core details—project location near Coolgardie, the size of the added resource, and the proximity to Burbanks mill—the emphasis is largely on the “shovel-ready” nature of the resource and the strategic value of expanding Auric’s local resource base.

Across the sources, the reporting is consistent in outlining the transaction and what it is expected to deliver, without introducing major differences in the basic facts. The coverage largely frames the acquisition as an incremental expansion of Auric’s WA Coolgardie ambitions rather than a change of broader strategy.
