- Metal Hawk Limited is an Australia-based mineral exploration company focused on the early-stage discovery of gold, nickel sulphides, and base metals primarily in Western Australia. The company’s core operations include exploration and evaluation of mineral resource projects, with significant projects such as the Yarmany Nickel-Lithium Project near Coolgardie, the Berehaven Gold Project near Kalgoorlie, the Kanowna East and Emu Lake prospective gold and nickel projects in the Eastern Goldfields, and interests in over 980 square kilometers of tenements in the Albany-Fraser Orogen. Metal Hawk’s main products consist of exploration services for gold, nickel, lithium, and base metals, leveraging advanced drilling and geophysical techniques. Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Western Australia, Metal Hawk operates through direct exploration and joint ventures, including a strategic hold on JV projects initially with IGO Limited.
In terms of recent major changes, Metal Hawk has undergone significant strategic activity within the last 1-2 years. In 2023-2024, the company acquired the Yarmany Nickel-Lithium Project, consolidating its position in nickel and lithium exploration. In mid-2024, Metal Hawk shifted focus to the Leinster South Project to accelerate gold exploration. In 2025, Metal Hawk entered binding sale agreements to divest its Viking Gold Project and Blair North Project to Mount Burgess Mining NL, with Metal Hawk becoming a major shareholder in Mount Burgess and appointing a nominee to its board. This divestment aligns with Metal Hawk’s strategic realignment to focus on core projects. Additionally, the company has completed diamond drilling programs at key sites such as Leinster South and continues exploration activities to build shareholder value through discovery success. Metal Hawk maintains active joint ventures and option agreements to expand its resource base and has adjusted operational structure, including a recent change of corporate address in late 2025.
Overall, Metal Hawk Limited operates in the mineral exploration industry with a focus on gold, nickel, lithium, and base metals targeting mining districts in Western Australia. Its business segments encompass project acquisition, exploration, and joint ventures. The company targets mining companies and investors interested in early-stage mineral resource projects and leverages a highly experienced team for exploration success. Metal Hawk's strategic focus includes both direct project development and investment in associated companies through shareholdings. The company’s operations and exploration activities are geographically concentrated in Western Australia’s Eastern Goldfields and Albany-Fraser Orogen regions, with its headquarters located in Western Australia. It continues to advance exploration technologies and expand its mineral portfolio through acquisitions and strategic partnerships.
This composite reflects the company’s main product and service offerings in mineral exploration, its geographic focus, and its recent strategic operational changes including significant asset divestments and drilling activities as of late 2025. Metal Hawk Limited remains a key player in early-stage gold and base metal exploration in Australia.
