Latest Copper Exploration News

Midas Minerals has opened a new high-grade copper front at Hartbeespoort in Namibia, with shallow drilling returning up to 4 metres at 9.83% copper. At nearby Spaatzu, mineralisation now extends beyond 1.6 kilometres as the company advances several resource estimates for early 2027.

BOA Resources has completed its maiden 46-hole RC program at Ricci Lee with high-grade copper results across two lodes, including a 23-metre intersection at 2.65% copper. The mineralisation remains open at depth and to the north, with diamond drilling planned to begin in November.

Jacaranda Natural Resources has identified a 50-metre copper trend at its Motloutse Project in Botswana, with 12 of 23 selective rock-chip samples returning more than 1% copper. The ASX-listed explorer now plans maiden drilling between December 2026 and February 2027, subject to approvals and completion of work at its Globe Project.

White Cliff Minerals has expanded copper mineralisation at Danvers to 4.75km, added a new Bornite Hills discovery and secured A$8.77 million from Hancock Prospecting. The funding improves the immediate exploration position, but the project remains at the drilling and assay stage.

White Cliff Minerals has intersected high-grade copper beneath a spectacular historic surface trench at Bornite Hills, adding a second exploration front to its Rae Copper Project. The early results are encouraging, but the geometry and true thickness of the mineralisation remain unresolved.

BOA Resources has secured firm commitments for a $9.245 million placement to fund the next phase of exploration across its 100%-owned Neds Creek copper project in Western Australia. The raise comes as high-grade Ricci Lee results build momentum, with further assays from 104 holes still pending.

White Cliff Minerals shareholders have approved an A$8.77 million placement to Hancock Prospecting, giving the private company an expected 13.5% stake and funding a faster exploration campaign at Rae. The capital is aimed at advancing Danvers 1 towards a maiden resource while testing a much larger copper system across Nunavut.

PolarX has extended high-grade copper mineralisation 60 metres beyond the Caribou Dome resource boundary, with one hole returning 58.5 metres at 2.0% copper. Magnetic data points to another 500 metres of potential western extension, although 13 assay results and further drilling remain outstanding.

Cooper Metals has launched a fully underwritten 1-for-4 entitlement issue at 7.5 cents a share to raise up to $2.695 million before costs. Most of the proceeds are earmarked for the Chalterra copper project and its acquisition, while shareholders who do not participate face potential dilution.

Midas Minerals has identified up to three high-grade copper positions at its Deblin deposit in Namibia, with assays returning intervals of up to 4.89% copper. The expanding target will now be tested with deeper drilling, additional rigs and metallurgical work ahead of a planned maiden resource estimate in early 2027.

BOA Resources has extended the interpreted copper mineralised trend at Rooneys beyond 500 metres, with shallow high-grade intersections supporting a larger follow-up drilling campaign. The results add another exploration thread to the company’s expanding Neds Creek project, although continuity and true widths remain untested.

White Cliff Minerals has identified copper sulphides on a previously untested parallel structure mapped over 2.8km at its Rae Copper Project. Sulphides also appeared in all three northeast infill holes, but laboratory assays remain six to eight weeks away.
