Deccan Gold Mines shares in focus as all Spain drill holes show promising tungsten mineralisation
Why did Deccan Gold Mines Ltd shares jump today?
Deccan Gold Mines Ltd shares moved up 0.56% to ₹163.0 as of Monday, 11:19 AM, after the company released promising exploration results from its mining project in Spain. The stock saw buying interest following the company's announcement of encouraging tungsten drilling results, which could open up a new critical minerals opportunity for the firm.
The company disclosed that all eight completed drill holes at the Dehesa tungsten–tin target within its Logrosán project in Spain successfully intersected mineralisation. Preliminary geological modelling now indicates that the site could host a potentially significant deposit, and the company plans further exploration to better understand the scale and extent of the mineral resource. This is notable because it is the company's maiden drilling programme at this particular target, and having all eight holes show mineralisation is a strong early indicator of the project's potential.
Adding to the positive sentiment, the Spanish Government has backed the company's La Brujas tungsten exploration by offering up to €250,000 in eligible cost deductions. Deccan Gold Mines, which is India's first and only listed gold and critical-minerals resource company (BSE: 512068), is clearly expanding its footprint beyond gold into high-demand critical minerals like tungsten and tin. The combination of successful drilling results and government financial support has boosted investor confidence in the company's diversification strategy and its growth prospects in the European mining sector.
