MinRex Resources Limited and Electrum Discovery Corp. have agreed to merge, creating a well-capitalised gold-copper exploration company with advanced projects in Serbia and Australia. The combined entity aims to accelerate resource growth and exploration across two Tier-1 jurisdictions.

AusQuest Limited has significantly extended the copper-gold mineralised system at its Cangallo project in Peru through recent diamond and RC drilling, revealing depths beyond 800 metres and strike length exceeding one kilometre.

Belararox Limited has completed an $8.5 million placement to accelerate copper exploration, with drilling now underway at its TMT Project in Argentina.

Artemis Resources has secured a joint venture to earn a 60% stake in the Sharon Dam IOCG copper target, backed by a $220k government grant and planned drilling in early 2026. This deal extends Artemis’ footprint in a promising underexplored copper province in Western Australia.

Midas Minerals has completed its acquisition of the Otavi Copper Project in Namibia, initiating multiple drilling programs across high-grade deposits and securing strong funding to drive exploration in 2026.

Taruga Minerals has confirmed significant gold and copper mineralisation at its Gwamogwamo prospect in Papua New Guinea, underpinning its 2026 exploration plans. The results validate historical data and set the stage for targeted drilling campaigns.

Belararox Limited has initiated diamond drilling at Toro Central within its Argentine TMT Project, targeting a significant near-surface epithermal copper system. The program aims to unlock the potential of a 1.4 km chargeability anomaly extending toward the largely untested Toro South.

Austral Resources has been granted the Canyon EPM 28881, establishing a strategic 6km copper oxide exploration corridor adjacent to its Mt Kelly and McLeod Hill operations. The new tenement offers promising undrilled copper oxide mineralisation and sets the stage for a 2026 drilling campaign aimed at expanding Austral’s resource base.

White Cliff Minerals expands its Rae Copper Project in Nunavut with 1.75km of confirmed sedimentary copper mineralisation and identifies promising new geophysical anomalies for future drilling.

True North Copper has released final assay results from its Aquila prospect, confirming continuous high-grade copper-cobalt-silver mineralisation extending at least 250 metres deep and 900 metres along strike. The discovery underscores the significant growth potential of the Mt Oxide district.

AIC Mines has successfully extended the Jericho copper deposit in Northwest Queensland by approximately 250 metres down-plunge, revealing promising grades of copper, gold, and silver. These results reinforce the deposit’s potential to support future production growth alongside the nearby Eloise mine.

Superior Resources has increased its capital raise to $2 million, funding a significant drilling campaign and feasibility studies aimed at accelerating gold production and advancing copper exploration in northern Queensland.
