About Avira Resources Limited
Avira Resources Limited (AVW) is an ASX listed mining exploration company exploring for gold, copper and base metals with projects in Western Australia and Sweden.

The Mt Cattlin Gold Project, located within the highly endowed Ravensthorpe Greenstone Belt of the Yilgarn Craton, is a high-priority gold-copper asset. The project's close proximity to the world-class Rio Tinto’s Mt Cattlin Lithium Mine and Medallion Metals’ 1.3Moz Kundip Gold Project validates its district-scale potential. On completion of the acquisition announced on 20 October 2025, AVW will hold 100% of the gold and non-pegmatite mineral rights over Exploration Licence E74/401. Multiple advanced prospects, including Ellendale, Plantagenet and Revival, exhibit strong gold-copper geophysical and geochemical signatures within favourable magnetic skarn zones, representing immediate, drill-ready targets for resource delineation.
The Tangadee Project currently consists of three granted exploration licences E52/4411 E52/4439 and E52/4413 for a total of 249 blocks or 779 km[2 ] located in the Ashburton region of Western Australia which straddles the faulted contact between the Edmund and Collier Basins in the Capricorn Orogen of Western Australia. Avira is targeting sedimenthosted Cu-Zn sulphide and magmatic Cu-Ni sulphide deposits, principally by drill testing late-time EM conductors (VTEM) that lie either on or close to the intersection of the major, east-trending Mount Vernon Fault and NE and NW trending splays and linking structures.
The Puolalaki Project currently comprises a single exploration permit (Puolalaki nr 100) centred over a synorogenic gabbro intrusion that hosts the nickel mineralisation discovered by NAN in 1998. In addition to the Ni-Cu-Co mineralisation at Puolalaki, the project also contains significant, high-grade gold mineralisation across two zones within the metasediments and metavolcanics surrounding the gabbro. The project is located in Sweden’s premier Gällivare mining district which is host to Europe’s largest open-cut copper mine Aitik, owned by Boliden and to LKAB’s Malmberget iron-ore mine.
