Latest Base Metals Exploration News

Alvo Minerals reports continued success at its Touro Prospect in Central Brazil, with all recent drill holes intersecting significant copper and zinc sulphides along a 750m strike. The discovery reinforces the Palma Project’s potential as a major volcanic massive sulphide district.

Rubix Resources has reported promising assay results from its 2025 drilling campaign at the Paperbark Project, revealing significant zinc-lead mineralisation and encouraging copper signatures beneath the JB Zone and at Grunter North.

Ballymore Resources’ maiden reverse circulation drilling at the historic Torpy’s silver-lead-zinc mine reveals significant high-grade mineralisation, prompting a strategic pause for downhole EM surveys to refine exploration targets.

Blaze Minerals has halted drilling at its Loulombo Project in the Republic of the Congo due to security concerns linked to its local partner's alleged contractual failures. The company is actively seeking resolution while the drill rig remains onsite.

Alvo Minerals has raised $2.26 million through a placement to accelerate drilling and exploration at its Palma Copper-Zinc Project in Brazil, including the promising new Touro Prospect.

Mammoth Minerals has identified a major new 5.5km by 4.2km intrusive complex at its Excelsior Gold Project in Nevada, drawing parallels to the prolific 4.2Moz Goldfield Caldera. Concurrent surveys at its Skyline Project in Canada bolster its base metals exploration pipeline, while plans for a strategic spinout are underway.

Lodestar Minerals has kicked off its first-ever exploration program at the Virgin Mountain Rare Earth Project in Arizona, targeting historically promising heavy and light rare earth elements amid shifting global supply dynamics.

Alvo Minerals’ latest drilling at the Touro Prospect within its Palma Copper-Zinc Project confirms extended copper and zinc mineralisation, hinting at a potentially large volcanogenic massive sulphide system. Assay results are pending, with further drilling planned to test deeper targets.

Tali Resources has reported initial reverse circulation drilling results from its West Arunta Project, revealing promising nickel and copper anomalies at the Chilka and Lonar prospects that warrant further exploration.

Litchfield Minerals has unveiled compelling new geophysical data from its first phase IP survey, revealing multiple extensive sulphide mineralisation targets within the Oonagalabi system. The findings suggest a large, vertically extensive intrusive-related mineral corridor ripe for further exploration.

Middle Island Resources has identified significant lead and zinc soil anomalies at the Tisovik target within its Bobija Project in Serbia, highlighting promising exploration potential in a historically mined area. Assay results reveal high-grade mineralisation footprints extending over 1.5km, setting the stage for further investigation.

Alvo Minerals reports promising trenching results at its Touro Prospect within the Palma Copper-Zinc Project, revealing significant surface mineralisation consistent with VMS deposits and prompting immediate drilling plans.
