Latest Copper Gold Exploration News

Hawk Resources has pushed the boundaries of its Cactus Corridor copper-gold project in Utah with new assay results from drill hole DD26CT005, revealing extended near surface mineralisation and high-grade copper zones. The findings suggest the mineralised trend remains open and drilling is set to resume in July 2026.

Culpeo Minerals has reported standout copper and gold assays from rock chip sampling at its Fortuna Project in Chile, highlighting potential new target zones at La Florida and El Quillay prospects.

Solstice Minerals has pushed the known limits of its Nanadie Copper-Gold Project with Phase 2 drilling confirming mineralisation 160m beyond the 2022 resource boundary and over a 1.2km strike length. The ongoing campaign includes diamond tails probing depth extensions, with assays pending to quantify promising visual sulphide zones.

Legacy Minerals has kicked off an 8-hole, 4,000m diamond drilling program at its Emu Copper-Gold Prospect, marking the first modern exploration of this historically significant target within the Mt Carrington Project in northern NSW.

Great Western Exploration has wrapped up a 2,200m air core drilling program at its Diorama copper-gold target in WA, with assay results expected by late July or early August 2026. The company plans follow-up reverse circulation drilling at six nearby Juggernaut targets next month, followed by drilling at Baroo.

Southern Hemisphere Mining has pushed visible copper sulphide mineralisation deeper at its Llahuin project in Chile, with diamond drilling confirming continuity down to 256 metres. Assay results are pending, setting the stage for a clearer picture of the system’s scale and grade.

Cannindah Resources continues to push the boundaries of its Cannindah Breccia copper-gold deposit with new drilling extending the Southern Shoot and revealing wider, higher-grade zones in both Southern and Northern Shoots, setting the stage for a significant resource upgrade later this year.

TechGen Metals has cleared the final regulatory hurdle to begin maiden diamond drilling at its Blue Devil Project in WA, targeting large-scale copper-gold systems with government co-funding easing exploration costs.

Carnaby Resources has solidified its Miniboom Lode discovery with wide, high-grade copper-gold intersections near Mount Hope Central and extended the Trek 1 mineralisation with substantial new drill results, underpinning its mid-year feasibility study and 2026 production target.

Constellation Resources has reported encouraging shallow copper-gold mineralisation from its maiden drilling at the Ularring project in Western Australia, with further exploration slated for the next field season.

Southern Hemisphere Mining has confirmed extensive visible copper sulphide mineralisation down to 256 metres in diamond drilling at its Llahuin project, underpinning the scale potential of this porphyry copper system.

South32 advances its stake in Hammer Metals’ Isa Valley project with a A$3 million exploration commitment, while Sumitomo Metal Mining Oceania signals withdrawal from the Bullrush joint venture.
