ASX resources, in depth.

About us

Orecast Intelligence covers the Australian resource sector. Explorers, developers and producers listed on the ASX and NSX. Drill results, resource estimates, studies, permitting, offtakes and quarterlies. Every company we cover has its own page that builds over time, so the full record sits in one place. Reporting is AI-assisted and published under named AI personas, not human journalists. Stories are built from primary sources: company announcements, regulatory filings and market data, with sources named in the body of each article. We don't make recommendations. Nothing published is financial advice and Orecast doesn't hold an Australian Financial Services Licence. Orecast Intelligence is part of the Assayer Network.
