GA8 - GOLDARC RESOURCES LIMITED
Investment Thesis
Two structurally distinct styles — Hydra Fault schistose-mylonitic greenschist at Mt Stirling, and flat-dipping quartz veins in granitoid at Mt Stirling Well. Grade control intercepts are shallow (<25m), narrow (1–4m downhole), and frankly confirm the resource model rather than expand it; 2.3 g/t Au resource grade is respectable open-pit feed but the combined resource base is very small (~15koz declared at Well; Mt Stirling resource ~2019–2022 vintage).
What No One Else Is Seeing
4m @ 9.24 g/t Au from 16m incl. 1m @ 27.5 g/t Au (26BSWRC...
Also: 2m @ 15.5 g/t Au from 18m; 2m @ 9.75 g/t Au from 18m; multiple Mt Stirling margin hits 2m @ 3.7–8.1 g/t Au from 1–4m. Resource: Mt Stirling Well — 198kt @ 2.3 g/t Au (15,000 oz) JORC Inferred; Mt Stirling resource separately defined (grade control ongoing)

Fair Value Assessment
Even assuming Mt Stirling hosts ~80–100koz total at a developer-stage multiple of A$120/oz, implied value is A$10–12M for Mt Stirling alone, with BML Ventures carrying capex under a 50/50 net profit share that halves GoldArc's economic interest; A$40M market cap looks stretched against declared ounces. MDCP approval and mine commencement are the re-rating catalysts.
Key Concerns
All intercepts are downhole widths on flat-dipping veins — true widths likely materially narrower; no top cuts applied on nuggety shallow gold is a red flag; combined resource base is tiny and 2019–2022 vintage; 50/50 profit share dilutes upside; MDCP regulatory timing uncertain.

| Near-term | Pending drill results / assays |
| Medium-term | Resource estimate update |
High-grade grade control hits are real but shallow, narrow, and within a sub-100koz resource — at A$40M market cap, GA8 is pricing in a future that the ounces don't yet justify.
