Latest Base Metals Exploration News

Blaze Minerals has completed a 443-metre trenching campaign at its Krokodil Prospect in Botswana, confirming in-situ copper, lead, and zinc mineralisation with notable spot XRF readings. Laboratory assay results are expected in 6-8 weeks as the company plans further soil sampling to extend the target zone.

Westar Resources has won a Northern Territory Government grant to co-fund an aeromagnetic survey over 569 square kilometres of its Bunda Creek Project, aiming to unlock structural insights critical for sediment-hosted copper exploration.

Ballymore Resources has significantly extended its Torpy’s silver-lead-zinc-indium discovery in North Queensland, identifying four new mineralised shoots beyond the historic mine area through recent drilling. With assays pending and multiple targets open, the Ruddygore Project’s potential continues to grow.

Litchfield Minerals' latest drilling at Oonagalabi reveals broad copper-zinc mineralisation and an unusual nickel-molybdenum-bearing quartz vein, prompting refined geological models and planned advanced geophysical surveys.

Miramar Resources has successfully completed an auger drilling campaign at its Joy Helen prospect, extending known SEDEX-style mineralisation and identifying new structural targets within the Chain Pool project in Western Australia.

Cosmo Metals has reported robust rock chip assays from its Everest-Mona-Victory Trend in NSW, revealing significant copper, gold, and silver mineralisation and advancing towards its first drill program.

Blaze Minerals has uncovered significant copper, lead, and zinc mineralisation at its newly named Krokodil Prospect within the Dinokwe Project, setting the stage for trenching and potential drilling in Botswana’s Limpopo Mobile Belt.

Belararox Limited has confirmed additional high-grade silver, copper, and zinc mineralisation at its Toro Central prospect in Argentina, with narrow but rich intercepts from recent diamond drilling. The company is refining its structural understanding to guide an expanded 2026/2027 exploration campaign.

Ballymore Resources has kicked off a detailed gravity survey across a 32km corridor at its Ruddygore Project, aiming to refine targets for silver-lead-zinc and skarn-porphyry deposits. Funded by $383,000 in Queensland government grants, the survey complements ongoing high-grade drilling at Torpy's.

Miramar Resources has kicked off auger drilling at its Chain Pool Project in Western Australia, targeting high-grade copper-lead-silver mineralisation at the historically significant Joy Helen prospect. The program aims to define the extent of SEDEX-style mineralisation over a 300m strike with potential for extensions and parallel zones.

Miramar Resources is launching its first drilling campaign since 1964 at the Chain Pool Project’s Joy Helen prospect, targeting high-grade SEDEX copper-lead-silver mineralisation with promising strike extensions.

Antares Metals (ASX: AM5) has landed $237,500 in non-dilutive government funding to jumpstart drilling and geophysical surveys at its Quinns Copper-Gold-Zinc Project in Western Australia, targeting the historic Austin VMS deposit and nearby prospects.
