Latest Australian Mining Projects News

Burley Minerals is set to commence a heritage survey ahead of a major reverse circulation drilling campaign targeting over 290 hectares of Channel Iron Deposit at Cane Bore, aiming to define a significant inferred iron ore resource in Western Australia’s Pilbara region.

Saturn Metals has delivered robust new drilling results at the Titan Lode within its Apollo Hill gold project, expanding the mineralised footprint and confirming Titan as a key shallow mineralised centre. The results set the stage for a resource update later this year.

Lachlan Star has delivered further high-grade gold hits from its maiden diamond drilling at New Waverley, confirming a shallow, continuous quartz vein system with strike potential beyond 800 metres. A substantial reverse circulation drilling campaign is poised to expand the discovery.

TG Metals has lodged a mining lease application for its Burmeister lithium deposit, targeting early-stage direct shipping ore development amid a buoyant lithium market.

Black Canyon’s latest drilling at Wandanya extends high-grade manganese and iron mineralisation 300m north and expands cross-strike widths to 800m, reinforcing the project’s potential for low-cost direct shipping ore.

Kincora Copper has received a US$1.5 million non-refundable option payment from Tumen Ail Coal, marking a significant step toward divesting its Mongolian subsidiaries. The staged US$10 million deal supports Kincora’s shift to focus on Australian projects and its project generator model.

Charger Metals has extended spodumene mineralisation at its Medcalf deposit to 700 metres depth, prompting a pending resource upgrade beyond the maiden 8.2Mt @ 1.0% Li2O estimate.

Hawk Resources has clinched a Mineral Exploration Agreement with Ngaanyatjarrra Traditional Owners for its Olympus Scandium Project, clearing a key hurdle ahead of planned Q2 2026 exploration. Historical data points to a significant scandium anomaly that could define a new province in Western Australia.

Hammer Metals has kicked off a Reverse Circulation drilling campaign at its Mount Isa Kalman project, aiming to upgrade inferred copper-gold resources and expand near-surface mineralisation. The program supports an upcoming Scoping Study and reflects optimism due to recent strength in copper, molybdenum, and rhenium prices.

Infinity Metals continues to push forward with exploration in Australia while awaiting critical mining licence feedback for its San Jose Lithium Project in Spain amid regional government delays.

Terrain Minerals has completed a critical four-hole diamond drilling program at its Lightning Gold Project, securing key structural and density data that de-risks the upcoming maiden Mineral Resource Estimate scheduled for July 2026. The results confirm continuity of high-grade gold mineralisation, underpinning the project's transition from exploration to resource definition.

Kingfisher Mining has resumed reverse circulation drilling at its Copper Blow project near Broken Hill, targeting extensions of high-grade copper-gold mineralisation to support a maiden resource estimate. The program follows a strategic processing agreement with Broken Hill Mines, underpinning development plans.
