Latest Gold Exploration News

Many Peaks Minerals has extended the tested vertical depth of gold mineralisation at its Ferké project by about 70%, with a deepest intercept returning 40.3 metres at 3.89g/t gold. The results support a planned resource update and preliminary assessment of underground mining, but remain exploration results outside the current resource.

Waratah Minerals has reported its strongest drilling result to date at the Spur Gold Discovery, with a deep hole returning 46 metres at 7.27 g/t gold. The result extends the Consols Zone and supports four high-grade footwall domains, although the project remains at an early exploration stage.

Broken Hill Gold has completed the transfer of its North Queensland exploration portfolio to Manda Resources, setting up a separate vehicle for the assets and a potential in-specie share distribution to BH6 holders. The company will now concentrate on White Dam in South Australia, although shareholder approval and the final Manda IPO structure are still pending.

Platina Resources has reshaped itself around a 312 square kilometre gold portfolio in Western Australia’s Laverton district, backed by $8.61 million in cash. The FY2026 annual report shows stronger exploration momentum, but the company remains loss-making and dependent on turning targets into discoveries.

Flynn Gold has returned to trading with a one-for-three renounceable rights issue priced at A$0.015, seeking up to approximately A$3 million for Tasmanian exploration. Only A$1.5 million is underwritten, leaving the final proceeds dependent on shareholder participation and shortfall demand.

North Stawell Minerals has extended a steep west-dipping gold-bearing structure at Darlington with a 0.5-metre intercept, though the latest grade is well below nearby high-grade results. The company says the trend remains open at depth and along strike, with further drilling needed to test its potential scale.

Argent Minerals has reported its first laboratory assays from Trunkey Creek, with narrow but high-grade gold intersections beyond a void interpreted as historic underground workings. The results strengthen the case for deeper drilling, while leaving the size and continuity of the mineralisation unresolved.

Saturn Metals has extended the Apollo Hill gold system up to 1km north of its existing 2.83Moz Mineral Resource, with several high-grade intersections among the latest results. A 50-hole, 10,000m RC program is now underway to test continuity and support a planned resource update.

Great Southern Mining has returned high-grade gold intercepts from the first 19 RC holes at Golden Boulder, including 2m at 10.72 g/t. The results extend mineralisation down dip and leave most of the 14,000m program still to come.

Forrestania Resources has agreed to acquire four granted Western Australian exploration licences at Skeleton Rocks for a stated $250,000 consideration. The deal remains subject to due diligence, with the company yet to choose between cash and shares as payment.

Liberty Metals’ maiden rock chip program at Oko North has returned four samples above 1 g/t gold, including a peak assay of 2.322 g/t. The reconnaissance results support the company’s interpretation that historical alluvial gold may be sourced from hard rock within its Guyana tenure, but drilling is still required to test continuity and scale.

Nexus Minerals has secured firm commitments for a A$5.4 million placement to fund drilling and exploration across its Wallbrook Gold Project and NSW Mineral Project. The raise is priced below recent market benchmarks and is expected to lift cash above A$8.7 million before costs.
