Evolution Mining will invest C$12 million via a non‑brokered private placement to acquire just over 15 million units of Arizona Gold & Silver at C$0.80 per unit, taking an approximate 9.9% non‑diluted stake; each unit includes one common share and half a warrant exercisable at C$1 for three years. Arizona Gold & Silver will use at least 90% (~C$10.8 million) of the proceeds to accelerate drilling and exploration at the Philadelphia Gold‑Silver Project, prioritizing expansion of the Perry Zone, testing the three‑kilometre Arabian Fault corridor, evaluating beneath Red Hills and advancing hyperspectral targets. Upon closing, Evolution will receive investor rights including pro rata participation and top‑up rights, the ability to nominate one board member or appoint an observer, advisory committee participation and a first right of refusal on sales of a 10%+ interest in the project. » More on finance.yahoo.com

At the Diggers & Dealers forum, Evolution Mining reported record cash flow of AUD 1.4 billion in fiscal 2026 after reinvestments of AUD 1.1 billion and reiterated a dividend policy of 50% of free cash flow. Management cited sustained high margins (AUD 2,000/oz gold), a threefold production increase over 10 years and a 43% rise in reserves per share. Core projects Ernest Henry, Northparkes and Cowal are expected to deliver returns above 18%; copper transactions (including the takeover of Carnaby Resources and completion of the Mungari expansion) offer additional cash‑flow upside at current prices. The portfolio is positioned for robust returns across different price scenarios and benefits from long‑term trends such as deglobalization and increased central bank gold purchases. » More on de.investing.com
