Latest Copper Gold News

AngloGold Ashanti has completed a 2,659-sample soil geochemistry program at EcoGraf’s Golden Eagle project in Tanzania, with results now pending ahead of a planned drilling phase. The work forms part of a US$9 million farm-in while EcoGraf prepares separate exploration across a broader portfolio of gold and critical-minerals targets.

Cosmo Metals has secured the Carters Road exploration licence in New South Wales after reconnaissance work returned 4.69% copper and 5.78g/t silver from a single selective rock-chip sample. The result offers an early exploration lead, but does not establish continuity, scale or economic significance.

Voltaic Strategic Resources has identified malachite-rich copper mineralisation across an approximately 100-metre area at its El Dinero prospect in Western Australia. Preliminary pXRF readings reached an average 8.31% copper in one selected sample, although laboratory assays are needed before the results can be treated as representative.

Alkane Resources has lifted group Ore Reserves to 1.374 million ounces after exploration and resource conversion replaced depletion across its operating portfolio. The FY26 update also puts Björkdal’s open-pit restart and Costerfield’s extended mine life into sharper focus.

LinQ Minerals has reported broad, shallow copper-gold intersections at Monza, including 113 metres at 0.71% copper equivalent from 33 metres. Mineralisation remains open in multiple directions, while a largely untested corridor could connect Monza with the nearby Estoril resource.

Cosmo Metals has secured a new exploration licence in New South Wales after reconnaissance work found copper-bearing outcrop and a selective rock chip sample grading 4.69% copper. The result is an early exploration signal, not evidence of a defined deposit, with mapping and further sampling still to come.

Kingfisher Mining has remade itself around a 700 square kilometre New South Wales exploration portfolio, with Copper Blow emerging as the flagship after high-grade drilling. The shift came alongside a $1.16 million FY2026 loss, $1.21 million in cash and an explicit reliance on future funding.

Culpeo Minerals has started a four-hole, 2,000-metre maiden diamond drilling programme at Vista Montana, testing a copper-molybdenum target north-east of its Lana Corina discovery. The company is also using IP surveys to refine targets, while assays from El Quillay South returned several narrow copper-gold intersections.

Maronan Metals has intersected repeated copper-gold zones north of its 2025 Indicated resource at the Maronan Project, including a 20-metre interval grading 0.83% copper and 0.42g/t gold. The results support ongoing resource growth work, but further drilling and assays are needed before any resource change can be established.

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.

DPM Metals has extended mineralization beyond the existing Dumitru Potok resource in Serbia, led by a 21-metre interval grading 5.44% copper equivalent. The company will add up to 15,000 metres to its 2026 drilling campaign as it works towards a resource update and preliminary economic assessment.

Australian Critical Minerals says one extended drill hole at its Flint project in Peru has strengthened the case for a near-surface epithermal system and a deeper concealed porphyry target. The interpretation remains conceptual, with no economic-grade intersections or mineral resource reported.
