Latest Lodestar Minerals (ASX:LSR) News

Small-cap materials stocks swung hard as buyers chased project funding, processing breakthroughs and new drill results. The biggest moves came from energy infrastructure, greenfields deals and uranium, while gold and copper stories kept the sector busy.

Lodestar Minerals’ recent 12,344m drilling campaign at Ned’s Creek confirms high-grade gold continuity and reveals new mineralisation zones beyond the December 2025 Exploration Target, setting the stage for a maiden resource in 2026.

A brutal sell-off in a few small caps sat alongside takeover bids, fresh capital raisings and strong gains in medtech. The week split the market in two: buyers chased clear funding and approval news, while weaker stories sank fast after reopening.

Big price swings hit the materials board as deal news, capital raisings and resource updates pulled stocks in opposite directions. Gold M&A stayed busy, while critical minerals names kept feeding the market with drilling, testwork and project studies.

Lodestar Minerals’ first drill hole at the Three Saints IOCG Project in Chile has confirmed a large, multi-element mineralised system with copper, gold, cobalt, and molybdenum over 600 metres of vertical extent and a footprint wider than 1.6 kilometres.

Lodestar Minerals (ASX:LSR) confirms large-scale IOCG mineralisation in Chile and high-grade heavy rare earths in the USA, while progressing a 10,000m gold drilling program in Western Australia targeting a maiden resource.

Lodestar Minerals has locked in $4.7 million through a private placement and director subscription to push forward drilling and surveys across Chile, the USA, and Western Australia.

Capital raisings, resource updates and Medicare news drove the week’s biggest share moves. The sharpest gains came from silver and tungsten juniors, while the heaviest fall came from a deeply discounted equity raising.

Lodestar Minerals has identified five new copper-molybdenum-gold porphyry targets at Los Loros, Chile, and confirmed encouraging IOCG-style alteration at Three Saints, setting the stage for maiden drilling campaigns.

Lodestar Minerals has confirmed visible copper and IOCG-style mineralisation in its second drill hole at the Three Saints Project, extending the mineralised system over a 700-metre strike length. Drilling is ongoing with assay results expected by early July.

Lodestar Minerals has appointed Executive Director Coraline Blaud as CEO, positioning the company to capitalise on its expanding exploration projects across multiple continents.

A brutal split opened up in small caps: a few stocks surged on hard approvals and funding, while many resource names slid even after announcing big numbers. The week’s tape looked simple: investors paid for certainty and sold anything that still needs time, permits, or more cash.
