Latest Chilwa Minerals (ASX:CHW) News

Silver, rare earths and select critical minerals led this week’s winners, while lithium names and several larger producers slipped despite busy news flow. Big resource upgrades, fresh funding and cleaner processing routes drew buyers, but many early gaps failed to hold.

Chilwa Minerals has mobilised a second diamond drill rig at its Mpyupyu target in Malawi, accelerating exploration of niobium, rare earths, tantalum, and gallium within a newly identified alkaline syenite intrusion. With over 1,000 metres drilled and key assay results pending, the company is poised for a revised resource estimate in May 2026.

A single biotech result reset expectations in minutes, while gold and critical minerals kept investors busy on deals, drilling and funding. The week’s biggest moves came from one trial being stopped, a miner losing altitude after heavy selling, and a U.S. tungsten stock hit hard on risk-off trading.
