Latest Base Metals Exploration News

Blaze Minerals has completed a 443-metre trenching campaign at its Krokodil Prospect in Botswana, confirming in-situ copper, lead, and zinc mineralisation with notable spot XRF readings. Laboratory assay results are expected in 6-8 weeks as the company plans further soil sampling to extend the target zone.

Westar Resources has won a Northern Territory Government grant to co-fund an aeromagnetic survey over 569 square kilometres of its Bunda Creek Project, aiming to unlock structural insights critical for sediment-hosted copper exploration.

Ballymore Resources has significantly extended its Torpy’s silver-lead-zinc-indium discovery in North Queensland, identifying four new mineralised shoots beyond the historic mine area through recent drilling. With assays pending and multiple targets open, the Ruddygore Project’s potential continues to grow.

Azzuro Resources has reported thick, high-grade copper-gold-zinc-silver mineralisation from drillhole MU2601 at its Red Hill project, while drillhole MU2605 visually extends the massive sulphide zone by 124 metres, highlighting a substantial polymetallic system still open along strike and at depth.

Litchfield Minerals' latest drilling at Oonagalabi reveals broad copper-zinc mineralisation and an unusual nickel-molybdenum-bearing quartz vein, prompting refined geological models and planned advanced geophysical surveys.

Miramar Resources has successfully completed an auger drilling campaign at its Joy Helen prospect, extending known SEDEX-style mineralisation and identifying new structural targets within the Chain Pool project in Western Australia.

Cosmo Metals has reported robust rock chip assays from its Everest-Mona-Victory Trend in NSW, revealing significant copper, gold, and silver mineralisation and advancing towards its first drill program.

Blaze Minerals has uncovered significant copper, lead, and zinc mineralisation at its newly named Krokodil Prospect within the Dinokwe Project, setting the stage for trenching and potential drilling in Botswana’s Limpopo Mobile Belt.

Miramar Resources has kicked off auger drilling at its Chain Pool Project in Western Australia, targeting high-grade copper-lead-silver mineralisation at the historically significant Joy Helen prospect. The program aims to define the extent of SEDEX-style mineralisation over a 300m strike with potential for extensions and parallel zones.

Sunshine Metals has reported standout drilling results from its Liontown Gold Panel, including 22 metres at 20.25 grams per tonne gold, underpinning a resource update and revised mining study planned for mid-2026.

Galileo Mining’s latest diamond drilling at Norseman reveals a newly identified ultramafic sill with 109 metres of PGM mineralisation, reinforcing the project’s potential for multiple stacked intrusive systems along extensive strike lengths.

Miramar Resources is launching its first drilling campaign since 1964 at the Chain Pool Project’s Joy Helen prospect, targeting high-grade SEDEX copper-lead-silver mineralisation with promising strike extensions.
