Latest Lithium Exploration News

Xenora Minerals has reduced its annual loss and lifted cash to A$2.17 million while advancing geochemical targets at the Dudley Lithium Project. The next test is whether those anomalies can justify drilling and support the company’s next funding decision.

Chariot Resources has secured A$1.1 million from institutional and sophisticated investors to advance its proposed Nigerian lithium acquisition, exploration and partner-funded development program. The raising also brings potential option dilution and only partially addresses the company’s secured debt.

WhiteRock Lithium has sharply reduced a prospectus accounting adjustment after determining 11.8 million unexercised warrants should not have been remeasured. The correction comes as the newly ASX-listed explorer reports a C$3.19 million after-tax loss and more than C$33 million raised in 2026.

Venari Minerals says it knows of no undisclosed information behind a sharp rise in its share price and trading volume. The company points instead to ongoing Red Mountain drilling and a proposed exploration program still awaiting US regulatory approval.

WhiteRock Lithium says all seven holes drilled in the first phase of its 2026 campaign intersected spodumene-bearing pegmatite, extending the Spodumene Mountain strike length by 115% to 1.4km. The result is encouraging, but laboratory assays are still needed to establish lithium grades and true widths.

Australasian Metals has locked in a three-month exclusive option to acquire majority stakes in two promising lithium projects in Côte d'Ivoire, marking a strategic move into West Africa's emerging critical minerals scene.

ZhongNuo has begun a 15-day geological mapping program at Chariot Resources' Iganna lithium project in Nigeria, marking a key step under their binding term sheet. This work precedes a potential drilling campaign contingent on project selection.

Liontown Limited has secured a staged farm-in agreement to acquire up to 100% of the Centenario lithium brine project in Argentina, marking its first foray into brine resources alongside its established Australian hard-rock operations.

Desert Minerals has delivered a maiden JORC Mineral Resource Estimate for its Scotty Lithium Project in Nevada, outlining a substantial lithium clay deposit of 264.9 million tonnes at 1,006 ppm lithium, alongside a sizeable Exploration Target that hints at further growth.

Marquee Resources has completed a targeted field program at its West Spargoville Project, refining geological models of spodumene-bearing pegmatites and identifying misaligned historical drilling. Pending assay results will guide a re-oriented reverse circulation drilling campaign.

Ore Resources’ July diamond drilling at Kangaroo Hills confirms thick, near-surface lithium mineralisation and advances development studies, setting the stage for a Direct Shipping Ore assessment.

Jindalee Lithium's US arm has cleared the last regulatory hurdle to begin a critical Phase 1 drilling program at the McDermitt Lithium Project, aiming to upgrade resource confidence and provide key data for project feasibility.
