Gold and downstream critical minerals.
Produced in Australia.
Castile Resources (ASX:CST) is developing the Rover 1 Project near Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory. Gold doré and 99% copper anchor the valuation, with by-product bismuth, cobalt and high-grade magnetite refined downstream at Darwin's Middle Arm precinct — five revenue streams from one deposit.
Updated Pre-Feasibility & Bismuth Scoping Study — June 2026
The June 2026 study models Rover 1 as a 750 ktpa underground operation with five revenue streams over a 12-year project life.

The Rover 1 Project
A high-grade IOCG deposit with five revenue streams.
Rover 1 is a high-grade Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) deposit beneath the Rover Mineral Field, 57 km from Tennant Creek.
Castile beneficiates ore at Rover 1 in Tennant Creek to a concentrate, then refines downstream at the Middle Arm Sustainable Development Precinct in Darwin, producing gold doré, 99% copper, 99% cobalt, 96.5% magnetite and bismuth concentrate.
