Lachlan Star has secured a 90% stake in the New Waverley gold project, confirmed high-grade gold mineralisation, and launched a maiden diamond drilling program. A recent $7.47 million placement will accelerate exploration efforts in Western Australia’s Norseman district.

Aurum Resources has unveiled robust assay results from 40 diamond drill holes at the BDT2 deposit, confirming substantial gold mineralisation beyond current resource boundaries and underpinning its 4.2Moz group resource growth strategy in Côte d'Ivoire.

Ardiden Limited’s latest drilling at the Astoria deposit delivers substantial high-grade gold intercepts and broad mineralised halos, reinforcing the potential for significant resource growth within the Rouyn Gold Project.

Kalgoorlie Gold Mining has launched a substantial 41-hole reverse circulation drilling campaign at its Pinjin Gold Project, targeting resource growth at Kirgella Gift, Providence, and Lighthorse. The program aims to refine and extend existing gold mineralisation within a key part of the Laverton Tectonic Zone.

Marmota Limited has launched an extensive maiden drilling campaign targeting the southern Mainwood extension of its Greenewood gold discovery in South Australia’s Gawler Craton, aiming to expand the mineralised strike to 2km.

Far East Gold Limited reveals promising metallurgical test results from its Idenburg project, showing gold recoveries around 95% using conventional processing methods. These early findings suggest a straightforward processing route but remain preliminary pending further testing.

GoldArc Resources has wrapped up its biggest ever drilling effort at Leonora South, completing 15,260m across multiple programs including partner-funded development drilling. Assay results expected by late May will be pivotal for advancing resource definition and new discoveries.

DeSoto Resources significantly increased its exploration ground in Guinea's Siguiri Basin, adding 532km2 and identifying a 9km-long artisanal gold zone with assays up to 15.2g/t Au. The company maintains a robust cash position of A$11 million to support accelerated exploration.
