Latest Copper Gold Porphyry News

Tolu Minerals has more than doubled its reported gold resources to 1.33 million ounces after declaring a maiden 293,000-ounce resource at Mt Penck in Papua New Guinea.

DPM Metals delivered a record $227 million free cash flow in Q2 2026, driven by strong operational performance and higher metal prices. The ramp-up at Vareš remains on track for full production by year-end, while a major copper-gold discovery at Brevene South boosts exploration outlook.

Hot Chili Limited is accelerating development at its La Verde copper-gold deposit in Chile, reporting strong drilling results and securing an additional US$15 million via an amended royalty agreement with OR Royalties.

LCL Resources has been granted the Kau Creek Exploration Licence in Papua New Guinea, consolidating its tenure over a significant mineralised corridor with historic high-grade gold and silver results.
