Miners’ Promise Present ‘The Gift’: A Powerful Reminder

Last week we were honoured to attend the launch of The Gift, a powerful health, safety and wellbeing theatre experience created by Miners’ Promise and Acting Consulting Training Australia and New Zealand (ACT).

The performance was an incredible way to showcase what Miners’ Promise is truly about, providing compassion, care and connection for families in times of crisis, while also supporting the workplace communities impacted by sudden loss.

Congratulations to the Miners’ Promise and ACT teams on bringing such an innovative and moving event to life.

As a proud Principal Partner of Miners’ Promise, Argonaut is privileged to support a charity making such a tangible difference across Australia. We encourage our industry peers to learn more, donate, or consider becoming a partner at www.minerspromise.org.au

Argonaut in the US: Connecting at Global Mining Forums

Argonaut was on the ground at two key events on the global mining calendar earlier this month: Precious Metals Summit in Beaver Creek and Denver Gold Group‘s Mining Forum Americas in Colorado Springs, where Argonaut is a proud partner.

Our team, Hayden Bairstow, Chris Wippl, and Damian Rooney joined industry leaders, global institutions, and more than 50 ASX-listed gold companies to discuss the sector’s outlook and opportunities. With over 100 institutions and hedge funds represented, both conferences provided valuable platforms to engage with investors and corporates alike.

At Mining Forum Americas, Argonaut’s role extended beyond attendance. As partners of the event, Hayden and Chris moderated 14 ASX gold company presentations, while Hayden also led a main stage fireside chat with Stuart Tonkin, CEO of Northern Star Resources. Chris also addressed delegates at the Argonaut welcome drinks, where he reflected on our long-standing involvement in the conference since 2016, and incredible opportunities US investment can bring.

The discussions highlighted a strong backdrop for the gold sector, including renewed investor inflows, increased M&A activity, and reinforced Australia’s position as a safe and attractive investment destination. Importantly, they also showcased the strength of Argonaut’s research capability, which continues to be recognised as the leading coverage of ASX gold companies.

These conferences continue to be highly valuable forums for Argonaut by providing not only meaningful market insights but also the opportunity to demonstrate the value we deliver through trusted advice, deep sector knowledge, and enduring client and investor relationships.

Introducing Argonaut’s Refreshed Brand Identity

We are proud to unveil a new era for Argonaut with the launch of our refreshed logo and brand identity. This milestone reflects more than two decades of growth as a business and is a testament to the trust our clients place in us to deliver results.

We are still the Argonaut you know, but with a sharper look designed for the future. Watch our new brand come to life in the video below.

Over the coming weeks, you’ll notice our updated branding across our communications, documents, and online platforms. While our look has evolved, our commitment to exceptional outcomes, integrity, and long-term relationships remains unchanged.

A special thank you to the teams at The Imageniers and Lenox Hill for their creativity and partnership in shaping our new identity, a brand that honours our 23-year heritage while capturing the ambition and expertise that define Argonaut today.

Celebrating the Launch of Argonaut’s Best Undeveloped Projects 2025

Now in its 12th year, BUPs is a key reference for investors in the resources sector, showcasing projects our Research team believes have strong potential to create value.

Argonaut’s Head of Research Hayden Bairstow, with Analysts Jon Scholtz, George Ross, and Patrick Streater, offered their perspectives on the most compelling projects and the drivers of their selection. We were also joined by executives from several of the companies featured, giving clients the chance to hear directly from management teams and continue the conversations into the evening.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us to mark the occasion. We look forward to seeing how these projects evolve over the year ahead. For a copy, visit our Research Portal or contact your Argonaut representative.

Backing the Goldfields: Argonaut Supports the Topdrill Charity Sundowner

Last week, our Chairman Eddie Rigg represented Argonaut at the 5th annual Topdrill Resources Industry Charity Sundowner in Kalgoorlie, an event we’ve proudly supported since its early days.

Hosted on the eve of Diggers & Dealers, the Sundowner brought together the resources industry to raise vital funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service WA and Full Circle Therapies. This year’s event saw more than 400 guests in attendance, raising an incredible $478,391 for these two essential organisations.

On this important event, Eddie commented:
“The RFDS and Full Circle really matter to everyone in the Goldfields. It’s great to see the industry show up, dig deep, and make a real difference for the people doing incredible work in WA’s regional communities.”

Since 2020, more than $1.45 million has been raised, proof of what’s possible when the resources industry rallies together for a good cause.

Congratulations to Tim Topham, Angela Topham, and all involved from Topdrill on another outstanding event. We’re honoured to be part of an initiative that delivers such meaningful outcomes for the community.
