Latest Copper Mining News

Hillgrove Resources has uncovered significant copper-gold mineralisation extending more than 100 metres below previous depths at the Kanmantoo Copper Mine, marking the deepest recorded intersection to date and reinforcing resource growth potential.

KGL Resources has launched a A$300 million equity raising to complete funding for the Jervois Copper Project, combining it with a US$300 million streaming deal and existing cash to fully finance construction and production.

Cyprium Metals has marked a significant milestone with the first sulphuric acid delivery to its Nifty Copper Complex in 20 years, signaling a shift from construction to commissioning. The Phase 1 Copper Cathode Restart project is advancing rapidly, with key infrastructure and operational systems nearing completion.

Prospect Resources has reported robust metallurgical testwork results from the Kabikupa deposit within its Mumbezhi Copper Project, achieving copper concentrate grades exceeding 25% with recoveries above 94%. These findings bolster the project's processing strategy and underpin upcoming scoping studies.

Infinity Metals has secured a two-year exclusive option to acquire 100% of the high-grade Swansea copper mine in Arizona and raised A$2.25 million via a discounted placement to fund exploration and acquisition costs.

Hillgrove Resources has delivered consistent high-grade copper-gold drill results from its Emily Star underground project, underpinning a pivotal Stage 2 investment decision later this year.

AIC Mines has returned strong drilling results from the Jolly shoot at its Jericho copper deposit, reinforcing the deposit’s potential as the first mining target and underpinning the ramp-up of production at nearby Eloise.

Legacy Minerals has confirmed a new gold-silver epithermal mineralised system at its Mascotte Prospect, with assays showing gold grades up to 9.7g/t Au and significant base metals. The discovery lies entirely outside the current 1.2Moz AuEq Mt Carrington resource, opening the door for resource expansion.

Cazaly Resources has cleared the final hurdle to drill the Cadix anomaly, a large untested magnetic target in Namibia’s Abenab North Project, with fieldwork set for Q3 2026.
