Latest Gold Exploration News

PC Gold has identified a historically sampled high-grade domain at Spring Hill, with a composite 20.35m channel result grading 13.04g/t gold outside the current resource estimate. The target has not been drilled, leaving continuity and true width unresolved ahead of planned testing in late September.

Miramar Resources has secured A$1.25 million to fund drilling and early development work at its 80%-owned Gidji JV Gold Project near Kalgoorlie. The raise will target resource growth at Marylebone and Highway while testing deeper bedrock prospects at Marylebone and Lake.

Unity Metals has identified multiple new gold-anomalous zones across 1,063 metres of trenching at its Ngot and O’Phlay projects in Cambodia. The work also showed that drilling at Ngot NE was poorly oriented to intersect the interpreted mineralisation, setting up a revised drilling campaign.

Turaco Gold has confirmed depth and strike extensions at the Begnopan deposit in Côte d’Ivoire, including several high-grade gold intersections from the first 69 holes of a 113-hole program. The results could support a resource classification upgrade and eventual inclusion of Begnopan in Afema’s ore reserve, but no revised resource or reserve has yet been published.

Evergold Minerals has identified a new shallow gold-mineralised zone 600m northwest of the Duchess of York main zone in Western Australia. The Vanguard discovery will now be tested through resource-definition RC drilling planned for October.

BPM Minerals has entered its most consequential exploration phase after expanding Beachcomber into a multi-lode gold system and securing A$6.6 million in cash. The company is now drilling toward a maiden JORC resource, although its option to acquire the Forelands project remains unexercised and no resource has yet been estimated.

Resolution Minerals has reported its strongest gold grades to date at Golden Gate South, including 1 metre at 14.8 g/t gold, while extending the identified mineralised zone to approximately 600 metres. The results point to possible higher-grade feeder zones, but true widths and the broader continuity of the system remain unconfirmed.

Argent Minerals has intersected visible gold in two apparently unmined quartz veins beneath historic workings during the second hole of its maiden Trunkey Creek drilling program. The encouraging visual result remains unquantified until photon assay results establish the grades and true widths.

Astral Resources has reported broad and high-grade gold intersections from two deep holes at Theia, including 22 metres at 2.73g/t and 2 metres at 12.8g/t. The results extend the evidence for mineralisation below the current resource shell, but any resource increase remains dependent on the six remaining holes and further interpretation.

Falcon Metals has started its first-ever drilling at the Olsen Well gold target in Western Australia, expanding the campaign to approximately 6,000 metres after a recent capital raising. The program will test the central portion of a 5.8-kilometre gold-in-soil anomaly supported by rock-chip results of up to 6.42 grams per tonne gold.

Aureka Resources has reported high-grade gold mineralisation beyond the current inferred resource at its Irvine project in Victoria, including a 4.74g/t intercept at depth and the first significant results from a 2km gap between established lodes. The results expand the exploration story, but remain early-stage drilling data with further assays pending.

Lunnon Metals has reported strong gold intersections from 36 holes at its Foster-Baker project, including a standout 1 metre at 80.80 g/t gold at Hustler and broader mineralisation at Koombana. The results will feed updated resource models before a scoping study considers whether the two deposits could support future mining alongside a Lady Herial cut-back.
