Latest Copper And Zinc News

Lincoln Minerals has expanded its exploration footprint at the Minbrie Copper-Base Metals Project, identifying two new drill-ready targets and confirming a large-scale multi-metal sulphide system stretching over 7km. Fully funded for drilling, the company aims to unlock significant growth potential in South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula.

Golden Deeps Ltd has identified further high-grade copper mineralisation at its Graceland Critical Metals Prospect in Namibia, with new channel sampling revealing extensive mineralised zones. An upcoming Induced Polarisation survey aims to pinpoint drilling targets for critical metals including copper, silver, and germanium.

QMines Limited reports a significant increase in optimised open pit material at its Develin Creek project, confirming 930,000 tonnes at 1.73% copper equivalent from the Scorpion-Window deposit. Combined with Mt Chalmers and Mt Mackenzie, total optimised material rises to 13.6 million tonnes, advancing the company’s central Queensland copper-gold strategy.

Surefire Resources has identified a significant bedrock conductor at its Copper Hill Project through a recent ground electromagnetic survey, marking a promising step in its copper exploration efforts. This discovery aligns with previous geochemical anomalies and will shape upcoming drilling programs.

29Metals Limited reports promising high-grade copper and zinc drill results from its 2025 exploration program at Golden Grove, highlighting potential mine life extensions and resource growth opportunities.

Lunnon Metals reports significant high-grade gold assay results from infill drilling at its Hustler prospect, confirming two distinct mineralised structures and moving closer to an initial Mineral Resource estimate. Meanwhile, exploration at Defiance West reveals structural complexity with anomalous base metals but no significant gold yet.

Miramar Resources’ recent VTEM survey at Bangemall reveals multiple large electromagnetic conductors with promising Noril’sk-style nickel-copper-PGE potential, while a joint venture with Sumitomo Metal Mining moves closer to formalisation.

Lithium Energy Limited has identified promising Mt Morgan-style gold-copper mineralisation within its Capricorn Gold-Copper Belt Project in Central Queensland, supported by re-assayed historic drill cores. The company plans to fast-track exploration with advanced geophysical surveys and drilling.

Ballymore Resources’ recent heli-borne electromagnetic survey at the Maniopota prospect within the Ruddygore Project has revealed 29 strong conductive anomalies linked to polymetallic mineralisation, setting the stage for a significant drilling campaign in 2025.

Evolution Energy Minerals has unveiled a strategic update on its development-ready Tanzanian graphite project, announcing a $1.45 million renounceable rights issue to accelerate project development and capitalize on binding offtake agreements.

Octava Minerals has launched on-ground exploration at its Federation copper-zinc-silver-tin project in Western Tasmania, focusing on the historically promising Sweeney’s prospect. The company aims to leverage modern techniques to unlock the potential of mineralisation untouched since the 1980s.

Golden Deeps Ltd has contracted Terratec to conduct a comprehensive Induced Polarisation survey at its Graceland Prospect in Namibia, aiming to pinpoint high-grade copper, silver, zinc, lead, and germanium sulphide targets along a 2km mineralised corridor.
