Brightstar has consolidated two distinct project hubs – Goldfields and Sandstone.
Goldfields forms part of Brightstar’s short-term organic growth strategy, focused on a new 1.5Mtpa mill construction in Laverton due to be operational in mid 2027 with ore sourced from Laverton and Menzies project areas (within Goldfields).
Brightstar’s longer-term growth strategy is centred on Sandstone, where over 146,000m of drilling under Brightstar ownership has underpinned a consolidated 2.9Moz Mineral Resource and will support a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) in DecQ’26 for a project Brightstar anticipates will aspirationally grow its annual production profile to over 200koz per annum.
