First Au Ltd has entered into a binding agreement to acquire the Lady Jane Gold Project from Dynamic Metals Limited. This acquisition comprises six Exploration Licences in the Ora Banda district, strategically positioned to expand First Au's existing Riverina East Gold Project tenure. The Lady Jane tenure is located proximal to Ora Banda Mining's Davyhurst gold operations, including the Riverina and Sand King underground mines and the Davyhurst processing facility, as well as the Paradigm and Missouri deposits.
