We just released a DFS progress update for Mt Chalmers, and there's a lot moving.

Seven specialist teams are now working through every part of the Definitive Feasibility Study simultaneously. They're targeting completion by the end of this year. The whole thing is fully funded by the $15 million QIC investment that landed earlier in 2026, so there's no waiting on capital raises between workstreams.

It's the kind of update that shows the gears really are turning.

Five years listed. The whole team together: Andrew Sparke, Richard Wittig, Peter Caristo, Suzanne Gabriele, and Elissa Hansen. Cake and a strategy meeting in one sitting, which is very much the QMines way.

A lot has been built since 2021. Pre-feasibility complete. Definitive Feasibility Study underway. Three projects. A $15 million institutional investment through the door. A team that has stayed focused through every phase of the cycle.

Here's to year six.

Andrew's reaction in this clip is worth watching closely. Not because of what he says, but because of the surprise behind it.

A Queensland Government-backed fund chose to take equity in a small-cap miner. Not a grant, not a loan: equity, with all the commercial logic that implies. Andrew has spent years in this industry. He knows how rare that is.

The full interview goes deeper into what the $15M actually funds from here.

The room said it all.

Landholders, local council, state government, the Queensland Resources Council, Trade and Investment Queensland, and local resources businesses, all together in Rockhampton, talking seriously about the region's future.

QMines' Andrew Sparke presented and joined the panel discussion. Peter Caristo was also there representing QMines.

Thank you to Advance Rockhampton for putting it together.

All conditions on the $15 million QIC investment have been satisfied.

Alongside this, QMines has converted a $1 million convertible note and is now debt-free, with the security over the Mt Mackenzie tenements released. The balance sheet is clean as the company moves toward completion and the next phase of work at Mt Chalmers.

Mining.com.au sat down with Andrew to talk Mt Chalmers. His answer on what makes the project stand out is worth 60 seconds of your time.

Open pit. Shallow. High-grade. Queensland. The infrastructure and workforce are already there.

Copper recently hit record highs. The demand story is all over the headlines.

The supply side tells a different story. J.P. Morgan forecasts a 330,000 tonne deficit in 2026. S&P Global expects demand to rise 50% by 2040. A new copper mine takes 15 to 17 years from discovery to production.

QMines is developing three Queensland copper-gold projects to be part of that long-term supply solution.

Andrew sat down with Stockhead to talk copper. His point: demand is growing, everyone knows it. The harder question is supply, and right now, nobody has a clean answer.

With Mt Chalmers DFS underway and Develin Creek restated up 14% in March, QMines is working on part of that answer in Central Queensland.
