Vango Mining Limited (ASX: VAN) is an Australian mineral exploration company focused on gold projects in Western Australia; it engages primarily in the exploration and evaluation of mineral properties, with its flagship asset comprising the 100% owned Marymia Gold Project located in the mid-west region's Yilgarn block, consisting of 45 tenements across six major gold corridors including Trident-Marwest-Mareast, Triple P Corridor, and PHB Corridor K2; additional interests include the Ned's Creek joint venture and historical bauxite exploration at the Bolaven Plateau project in Laos. Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Sydney, New South Wales, the company operates solely in the minerals exploration segment targeting high-grade gold resources to support a proposed standalone mining and production operation at Marymia, where historical open-pit mining by Resolute between 1992 and 2001 produced 580,000 ounces while deeper zones remain largely untested. In a significant recent development, Catalyst Metals Limited entered into a bid implementation agreement in 2024 to acquire Vango Mining for an implied value of A$66 million in an all-scrip deal aimed at consolidating Western Australian gold assets, with major shareholders including Yanchao Guo, Zhenzhu Zhang, Shengqiang Zhou, and Bruce McInnes supporting the transaction; formerly known as Ord River Resources Limited, Vango changed its name in November 2014 to reflect its mining focus.
