Latest Gold Exploration News

Tambourah Metals has tightened drilling across its Tambourah King gold lode, returning several encouraging intersections ahead of a planned maiden resource estimate. Shallow results at Western Chief add a second exploration thread, although the system remains lightly tested at depth.

Metal Hawk has secured $1.2 million from sophisticated investors as RC drilling begins at the Numbat lode in Western Australia. The campaign will test whether the company’s strongest Leinster South gold intercept extends along strike and at depth.

BPM Minerals has begun its first-ever drilling at the 6km Bonnie and Clyde gold-in-soil anomaly in Western Australia, launching a 10,000-metre campaign targeting possible Tropicana-style mineralisation. The exploration upside remains untested, with assays from Bonnie and Clyde and Beachcomber expected from late 2026 into early 2027.

Bellavista Resources is advancing a 15,000-metre drilling campaign and early development studies at Pickle Crow, while assay results have been pushed into October after Canadian laboratory delays. At Brumby, continuity drilling is complete and CSIRO column leach testwork is being prepared.

Forrestania Resources has reported wide, high-grade gold intersections from 15 additional reverse circulation holes at British Hill in Western Australia. A diamond rig is now being mobilised to test below current RC drilling limits as the company works towards a larger mineral resource estimate.

Evergold Minerals has reported a sharply smaller FY2026 loss and a stronger cash position after completing its shift from lithium to gold exploration. The company now has $4.0 million in cash and $4.8 million invested in Western Australian exploration assets, but remains dependent on drilling success and future funding.

Skylark Minerals has pushed its Côte d’Ivoire gold strategy forward, with M’Basso now extending across about 2km of strike. But the annual report also highlights a material uncertainty over funding, after the company ended the year with A$4.85 million in cash and a A$3.01 million loss.

Flynn Gold has been suspended from trading while it prepares to announce a capital raising, leaving investors without details on the size, pricing or potential dilution. The company expects normal trading to resume by 18 September 2026, unless the announcement is released sooner.

Altair Minerals has secured an exclusive option over eight permits adjoining its South Oko project in Guyana, adding 29km2 and lifting exposure to the Oko Shear Contact to about 18km of strike. The deal expands exploration optionality, but ownership remains subject to due diligence, staged payments and a future exercise decision.

Pilbara Gold has reported strong initial drill results from the Terra Prospect at Roe Hills, including 46 metres at 3.17g/t gold and a narrower high-grade hit of 4 metres at 9.91g/t. The results extend evidence of a mineralised corridor at least 1.5km long, although substantial drilling and follow-up work remain.

Elk Range Mining has logged seven visible native-gold observations in its maiden drill hole at the Friday Gold Project in Idaho. The result offers fresh structural information, but assays remain the decisive test and are not expected until late October or early November.

Ordell Minerals has reported broad shallow gold intersections from the first 11 holes of a 122-hole infill program at McNabs East in Western Australia. The results strengthen the case for a maiden resource in the December 2026 quarter, although most assays and the key resource work remain outstanding.
