King River Resources Limited is an Australian exploration and mining company primarily focused on gold and specialty metals projects in Western Australia and the Northern Territory. The company’s core products and services include the exploration and development of gold projects at Mt Remarkable in the Kimberley region and Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory; production and development of high purity alumina (HPA) with 99.99% purity from its Speewah specialty metals project in the East Kimberley; extraction and processing of vanadium pentoxide, titanium dioxide pigment, iron oxide products, and high-grade fluorite used in steel, aluminum, and chemical industries. The company operates through segments involving exploration and evaluation of gold and copper projects and the ARC High Purity Alumina project focused on advanced materials production.
Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Perth, King River Resources has recently undergone significant strategic shifts including the completion of the sale of the Speewah vanadium-titanium-iron project to Tivan Limited for approximately AUD 20 million, which comprised cash and shares, allowing the company to focus more intensively on its gold exploration assets. In 2025, the company acquired tenement EL32116 to expand its Kurundi gold project footprint in the Northern Territory, enhancing its portfolio for gold, lithium, and tungsten exploration. It has also conducted extensive drilling programs at its Kurundi and Tennant Creek projects targeting high-grade gold zones, alongside preparing comprehensive geological reports to attract international and domestic partners for further project development. The appointment of a new managing director in late 2025 emphasizes a strategic emphasis on gold exploration growth and partnerships.
King River Resources operates exclusively in Australia, targeting the mining and mineral exploration industry with customers and stakeholders primarily in the mining sector and industrial materials markets. Its subsidiaries include Treasure Creek Pty Ltd, which holds significant exploration licences in the Northern Territory. Through continuous project development and strategic asset management, King River Resources aims to leverage its mineral-rich land holdings to become a significant gold producer while maintaining its presence in advanced materials markets through high purity alumina production and high-grade specialty minerals extraction. The company is positioned for growth through exploration advances and strategic capital redeployment following the Speewah project divestment.
