Latest Gold Exploration And Development News

Corazon Mining has shifted decisively towards Western Australian gold, completing the A$25.7 million Chalice acquisition after year end and securing a 191,000-ounce JORC Mineral Resource. The strategic expansion came alongside a A$7.98 million FY2026 loss and an auditor warning that future funding remains critical.

Pilbara Gold has reported broad and high-grade gold intersections at its 2.1Moz Mt York project, including mineralisation about 100 metres below the current resource. The results support ongoing resource classification work, while deeper drilling and further assays could determine how much growth is ultimately added.

Panther Metals has secured $350,000 in cash from the sale of its Mikado Gold Project to Brightstar Resources, while opening a potential processing route for Burtville East. The proposed 50:50 arrangement remains non-binding and depends on further evaluation and definitive agreements.

Kalamazoo Resources is moving Ashburton from exploration story to development proposition, backed by a positive Mt Olympus Scoping Study and extensive drilling. The next test is whether the updated resource, feasibility work and funding can turn the project’s preliminary economics into a mineable plan.

Ariana Resources has re-released its Dokwe drilling update after adding JORC disclosures, leaving the underlying results unchanged. The announcement reports broad gold intercepts, eight tonnes of samples sent to China for feasibility-level metallurgical testing and further work aimed at advancing the Zimbabwe project’s DFS.

Haranga Resources is preparing to begin a 16-hole underground drilling campaign at its Lincoln Gold Project, targeting the southern resource and an under-drilled gap between the Lincoln and Comet zones. The programme arrives alongside new underground power infrastructure, completed dewatering and several assays that could shape a later resource update.

Great Boulder Resources has reported a fresh wave of high-grade drill results at its Peak Hill Gold Project, reinforcing plans for a significant resource upgrade and near-term production underpinned by an ore purchase deal with Westgold.

Corazon Mining has secured key gold rights over two tenements near its Chalice Gold Project, unlocking historic high-grade targets and extending its greenstone belt tenure to over 40 km. The acquisition dovetails with a recently defined Exploration Target, positioning Corazon for resource growth in a prolific WA gold district.

Forrestania Resources has vaulted into a new league with a global gold resource exceeding 2 million ounces following its acquisition of the Edna May Gold Project, which brings significant processing infrastructure and development potential.

Aurum Resources has unveiled new high-grade gold intercepts from 22 diamond drill holes at its Boundiali BST1 deposit in Côte d'Ivoire, confirming ongoing resource growth potential and advancing development plans toward production by 2028.

Corazon Mining has unveiled a maiden Exploration Target at its Chalice Gold Project in WA, suggesting the mineralised system could hold up to 830,000 ounces of gold, significantly above the existing resource. A 7,500m drilling campaign is set to test this potential, marking a step towards development.

Maritana Minerals is intensifying drilling across its Western Australian projects, aiming to upgrade resources and support a mid-2027 mining restart at Boorara and first gold processing at the Black Swan Processing Hub.
