Top Aussie gold producer Evolution gets stung by cyber attack
Our Gold Digger column wraps all the news driving ASX stocks with exposure to precious metals.
Elongated periods of high inflation and geopolitical and economic uncertainties have gold pushing the significant milestone of US$2500/oz.
Despite a 1% pullback midweek, bullion is still buoyant, trading near the record high it reached last month. YTD gold has soared almost 20%, backed by ongoing optimism that the US central bank will commit to monetary easing.

Ukraine, wars, other commodities tanking, a multitude of inflation and interest rate risks across the Atlantic and COVID hangovers have increased focus on ‘ol shiny.
So much so, that even one of Australia’s largest gold producers, Evolution Mining (ASX:EVN) , has been under attack from cyber hacks.
While EVN MD Lawrie Conway says no private or commercially sensitive data was stolen, the incident was logged with the ASX and external forensic experts were contracted to nip it in the bud.
Lucky for them. When Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO) got hit last year by a cybercriminal group they stole sensitive data, threatening to release payroll info belonging to a portion of its workforce onto the dark web in January last year.
The attack didn’t materially affect operations, yet serves as a warning that no sector is immune to being targeted.

Top ASX Stories This Week
Reinvigorated gold explorer Artemis Resources (ASX:ARV) is back in the Pilbara exploring the Karratha project.
The site already contains the 374,000oz Carlow resource (704,000oz AuEq once other metals are included) which it’s looking to build upon outside the deposit.
It recently sampled some rock chips just 2km away at the Titan prospect, with three assays over 10,000g/t (+1% Au) – maxing out the assay tech itself.
Since Monday open, shares have gone gangbusters, up ~100% from 8c to close at 16c this afternoon.
Two more rock chips returned 6350g/t and 10.2g/t Au respectively, also solid grades. Of course rock chip analyses are a pathfinder method of exploration to discover extractable mineralised orebodies so they’re not an indication of future deposit grades.
But nuggets draw a crowd and ARV says it’s kicking on with exploration across the tenements to delineate targets for planned drilling.
Meanwhile, drilling at Liontown West returned a top assay of 11m grading 4.9g/t gold, 0.52% copper, 1.73% zinc and 0.91% lead from 73m for Sunshine Metals (ASX:SHN) and West African Resources (ASX:WAF) pulled some solid numbers out at the Kiaka development in Burkina Faso after hitting up to 7.6g/t gold, 26m at 5.8g/t gold and 26m at 5.6g/t from drilling in a high grade area to the north.
At Stockhead, we tell it like it is. While Artemis Resources and Sunshine Metals were Stockhead advertisers at the time of writing, they did not sponsor this article.
