Gold has corrected hard from a January 2026 record near US$5,589 to about US$4,200 by mid-June, yet almost every major bank still points higher over a 12-month view.

Maritana Minerals Limited (ASX: MRT) has delivered a comprehensive progress update earlier this month on the Black Swan Processing Hub (BSPH), located roughly 50km from Kalgoorlie in the heart of the Western Australian Goldfields.
