Latest Gold Exploration News

BPM Minerals has secured the final approvals for a maiden approximately 10,000-metre RC drilling campaign at its untested Bonnie and Clyde prospect in Western Australia. Drilling is expected to begin within 5-10 days, putting a more than 6-kilometre gold-in-soil anomaly to its first meaningful test.

Duketon Mining will begin searching for a new executive after Managing Director and CEO Stuart Fogarty transitions to a Non-Executive Director role on 30 October 2026. The company says exploration will continue without material disruption, while Fogarty remains involved at Board level.

Odyssey Gold has identified a previously unmodelled high-grade gold structure west of its Cable deposit, with drilling also strengthening the emerging Argos lode. The results could expand the Tuckanarra resource envelope, although continuity and scale remain to be established.

Leeuwin Metals will acquire three Western Australian exploration tenements covering about 105km², including ground adjoining the Marvel Loch gold mine. The all-scrip deal requires no cash payment, but two of the licences remain applications and the exploration case is still at an early stage.

Unity Metals has identified a series of demagnetised zones across more than 6km at its O’Phlay project in Cambodia, using drill-core data to refine targets for additional gold mineralisation. The company plans at least 22 holes across several prospects from early October.

Gateway Mining has identified a 3km undrilled gold target at Pewy, where geophysical features and nearby aircore results resemble the setting that preceded its Cowza discovery. First-pass drilling is scheduled for early October, backed by the company’s recently completed $45 million placement.

Westar Resources has identified three high-priority gold targets at its Jerrys Bore project after analysing 1,167 UltraFine+ soil samples. The anomalies coincide with gold pathfinder elements and interpreted structures, but drilling is still needed to establish whether buried mineralisation exists.

Golden Dragon Mining has extended the Cue Gold Project’s high-grade story, with Behring Bore returning 4 metres at 6.98 g/t gold and Coodardy mineralisation now defined across about 500 metres of strike. A larger 2,500-metre RC program will test whether the zones continue at depth and along strike.

Gateway Mining has secured firm commitments for a A$45 million placement, including A$20 million from Jupiter Asset Management, to fund an aggressive exploration campaign at its Yandal Gold Project. The raising follows a high-grade Cowza result and will issue 562.5 million new shares at a discount to market.

Golden Mile Resources says follow-up surface sampling has expanded the exposed Aurora gold anomaly in Arizona to at least 280 metres wide and 450 metres along strike. The results strengthen the case for drilling, although the prospect remains an early-stage, undrilled target with open boundaries.

Austin Metals has sharpened two gold exploration models after 21 RC holes produced a standout 12-metre intersection at Brunswick Hill, including 1 metre at 12.70 g/t gold. The results also point to previously untested structural targets at Mt Sandy, although the drilling remains early-stage and true widths are not yet known.

Evergold has defined three priority gold targets at its Leonora Goldfields Project after combining 1,312 soil samples with detailed drone magnetics. The early-stage results sharpen the company’s exploration pipeline, but drilling is still needed to establish whether the surface anomalies continue into bedrock.
