Latest Copper Exploration News

Mammoth Minerals reveals a major deep-seated intrusive target at its Picha Copper Project in Peru, supported by advanced geophysical surveys under the BHP Xplor program. This finding aligns with surface copper mineralisation and sets the stage for refined exploration.

Somerset Minerals reports strong visual copper mineralisation from its Phase-2 drilling at the Coppermine Project, Nunavut, with assays pending. Concurrent geophysical and geochemical surveys aim to unlock multiple copper discoveries across its extensive landholding.

FMR Resources has initiated a significant 4,000-metre diamond drilling program at its Southern Porphyry target within the Llahuin Project JV in Chile, aiming to validate a large porphyry copper system. Assay results from the first drillhole are expected within weeks, marking a pivotal step in the company’s exploration journey.

Noronex Limited has kicked off a significant 7,000m reverse circulation drilling campaign at its Powerline Copper Project in Namibia, aiming to unlock new copper-silver deposits along the Kalahari Copper Belt. Funded by South32 under an earn-in agreement, this program targets promising domal structures identified by aeromagnetic surveys.

Midas Minerals has raised $11.5 million through a strongly supported placement to fund its acquisition and exploration efforts at the Otavi Copper Project in Namibia.

Prospect Resources has reported significant new copper assay results from its Phase 2 drilling at the Kabikupa deposit, extending mineralisation beyond 1km and confirming zones closer to surface and at depth. These findings bolster the Mumbezhi Copper Project’s resource potential ahead of an updated estimate due in Q4 2025.

Canterbury Resources has extended its 2025 Share Purchase Plan to 22 October, aiming to raise $0.75 million to advance exploration at its Jack Shay, Peenam, and Briggs copper projects.

Somerset Minerals reports extensive visible copper mineralisation in two new drill holes at its Coppermine Project, extending known zones below previous intercepts and hinting at a larger system at depth. Assay results are expected soon, with geophysical surveys underway to guide further exploration.

Lord Resources has visually confirmed a significant 20.2-metre copper mineralisation interval at its Ilgarari Copper Project in Western Australia, highlighting promising signs of a supergene-enriched zone. Assay results are expected in October as drilling continues.

Belararox Limited has raised A$8.5 million through a two-tranche placement to accelerate copper exploration at its high-potential projects in Botswana and Argentina, setting the stage for a busy drilling and geophysics campaign.

Noronex Limited’s maiden diamond drilling at the Fiesta Copper Project in Namibia has validated multiple copper mineralised zones, setting the stage for a significant upcoming drilling campaign funded by South32.

GreenX Metals has identified the Mid-European Crystalline Zone beneath the historic Richelsdorf copper mines in Germany, revealing a likely primary source of copper mineralisation and significantly boosting exploration potential at its Tannenberg Project.
