Latest Copper And Molybdenum News

FMR Resources has identified a strong induced polarisation anomaly beneath historical artisanal workings at its Esperanza prospect in Chile, marking it as a priority drill target. The result is encouraging, but remains an early-stage geophysical signal pending 3D modelling, fieldwork and drilling.

Recharge Metals has identified materially higher tungsten grades in selected re-assayed pulps from its Brandy Hill South copper project in Western Australia. The results strengthen the case for a broad Cu-W-Mo system, but the most important evidence still sits in more than 1,000 samples awaiting testing.

Codrus Minerals Limited posted a $1.41 million loss for FY26 as it confirmed gold and molybdenum mineralisation at Bull Run, rationalised its portfolio, and secured a binding acquisition of EdgeMet with a $2.5 million capital raise underway.

Southern Hemisphere Mining has reported substantial new copper sulphide zones at its Llahuin project in Chile, reinforcing an exploration target of up to 340 million tonnes and setting the stage for further drilling and beneficiation work.

South32 has boosted the Sierra Gorda copper mine’s Ore Reserves by 61%, extending its reserve life by five years to 2045, underpinned by extensive infill drilling and a planned processing expansion.

Coppermoly Limited’s Managing Director and CEO Dickson Leah has resigned immediately, prompting a board-led strategic review focused on short-term shareholder value amid ongoing exploration and acquisitions.

Golden Globe Resources has highlighted significant copper-gold potential at its Burns Spur area within the Ridler Creek tenement, supported by recent high-grade rock chip assays and a re-evaluation of 1970s Noranda drilling that revealed extensive copper mineralisation.

Lodestar Minerals has taken a strategic step into Chile’s prolific copper belt by acquiring the Pacifico Cu-Mo-Au Porphyry Project, consolidating over 22 square kilometres of tenure with a rich historical drilling record. The company plans maiden drilling in the second quarter of 2027, aiming to unlock potential along a six-kilometre porphyry corridor.

Caravel Minerals has significantly advanced its Caravel Copper Project with a near-complete Definitive Feasibility Study, marked by a 48% increase in Proven Ore Reserves and strengthened funding arrangements.

Hammer Metals has released final assay results from its Kalman drilling program, revealing thick, high-grade copper-gold-molybdenum-rhenium mineralisation and confirming Blackrock's copper-gold potential near the Barkly Highway.

Alma Metals has received assay results from the first three holes of its 2026 infill drilling program at the Briggs Copper Project, confirming copper grades align with the current resource model and underpinning progress toward a preliminary feasibility study.

Southern Hemisphere Mining has reported substantial copper sulphide mineralisation at its Llahuin project in Chile, with drill intercepts confirming a large porphyry system and prompting a resource upgrade.
