Advance Metals Limited (ASX: AVM) is an Australian mineral exploration company focused on identifying, acquiring, and developing high-potential resource projects, primarily targeting gold, copper, and base metals deposits. The company offers exploration services including geophysical surveys, drilling programs, geological mapping, and resource estimation; it holds interests in key tenements such as the Barrick East and South Laverton projects in Western Australia's prolific goldfields, and the South Australian copper-gold assets. Operations span Australia, with primary activities in Western Australia and South Australia, targeting junior miners, institutional investors, and strategic partners in the resources sector; Advance Metals was founded in 2022 and is headquartered in West Perth, Australia.
In the past year, Advance Metals has undergone significant strategic changes, including a major merger with ACDC Metals Limited in late 2024, which expanded its portfolio with the acquisition of the Bowdens silver project and other assets; the company also completed a capital raising of approximately A$10 million in equity funding to support aggressive drilling campaigns. Recent developments feature the launch of a new exploration program at the Eureka Gold Project and a partnership alliance with local indigenous groups for sustainable operations; additionally, it announced a name change from ACDC Metals to Advance Metals Limited in early 2025 to reflect its advanced-stage asset focus and rebranding for broader market appeal. These moves position the company for growth in the tightening global metals supply chain amid rising demand for critical minerals.
