Latest Copper Exploration News

Southern Hemisphere Mining has reported substantial copper sulphide mineralisation at its Llahuin project in Chile, with drill intercepts confirming a large porphyry system and prompting a resource upgrade.

Moonlight Resources has kicked off its first reverse circulation drilling campaign at Peak Downs in central Queensland, aiming to validate historic high-grade copper mineralisation and unlock the potential of a largely underexplored system.

Somerset Minerals reports standout surface rock chip assays from its Coppermine Project in Nunavut, with peak copper grades hitting 46.3% at Skye and 36.4% at Talisker, underpinning a district-scale opportunity as maiden drilling advances.

Raptor Metals has confirmed a significant stacked copper-rich VMS system at its Chester Project through maiden drilling, while expanding its footprint with key acquisitions in the Bathurst Mining Camp.

White Cliff Minerals has delivered robust high-grade copper results at its Rae Copper Project, notably along the Teshierpi Fault Zone, while securing significant funding and completing the divestment of its Great Bear Project.

Emu NL has launched its largest drilling program yet at the Georgetown Copper Project, backed by a recent A$2.98 million capital raise. The company aims to systematically test high-priority copper targets at Yataga Valley following improved geological modeling.

Aruma Resources has reported multiple wide, high-grade copper-silver intersections from its maiden diamond drilling at the Tillex Project in Ontario, validating the deposit's scale and continuity. A downhole electromagnetic survey corroborated a strong, continuous conductor, and a 3,600m Phase 2 drilling campaign is now underway targeting extensions.

Lux Copper has completed its first-ever geophysical survey at the Baird Copper Project in Alaska and is mobilizing two diamond drill rigs ahead of a maiden drilling campaign set for mid-August 2026.

White Cliff Minerals has delivered a standout 50.9m intercept at 2.81% copper in its first diamond drill hole at Danvers 1, validating its geological model and setting the stage for targeted step-out drilling to expand the Rae Copper Project’s footprint.

True North Copper’s latest diamond drilling at Mt Oxide validates the Aquila discovery as a broad, continuous copper-cobalt-silver system with well-defined higher-grade zones, extending mineralisation over 1.8km strike and reinforcing its standalone development potential.

Catalina Resources is set to begin a 2,400m reverse circulation drilling campaign at its Breakaway Dam Copper Project, aiming to test high-priority electromagnetic targets and extend known copper mineralisation over an expanded strike length.

BOA Resources has secured full ownership of Core Value Australia NL, adding the Thaduna and Green Dragon copper deposits to its Neds Creek portfolio and gearing up for a 15,000m maiden drilling campaign.
