About Us
Gylden Resources, a subsidiary of Andel Resources, is an emerging gold producer preparing to pour first gold from the Kirkalocka Processing Facility near Mount Magnet in Q1 CY2027.
Located 70km south of Mount Magnet in the Murchison Goldfields of Western Australia, Kirkalocka has been established as a regional processing hub, with the capability to treat oxide, transitional and fresh ores from both our own mining operations and third-party producers through toll treatment arrangements. Our integrated business spans mining, haulage, processing and contract services, providing a diverse and sustainable operating platform.
