Latest Copper Nickel News

Terra Metals has reported its largest continuous high-grade reef yet at the Southwest PGM-copper-nickel discovery, with a 336.9-metre intercept among new assay results. Heritage access is now cleared across the drilling footprint, while more than 40,000 assays remain pending ahead of a maiden resource estimate planned for Q1 2027.

Redstone Resources has expanded its exploration portfolio and reported deep copper intersections at West Musgrave, but its auditor has flagged material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue without further funding. The ASX junior ended FY2026 with A$557,426 in cash against A$636,787 of annual Australian tenement commitments.

DevEx Resources has emerged from FY2026 with a 9,200 square kilometre uranium landholding in the Northern Territory, $27.2 million in cash and a multi-target drilling campaign underway. Early alteration at KP and shallow mineralisation at Big Radon provide technical encouragement, but the exploration case remains dependent on follow-up drilling and assays.

Cobalt Blue has secured a US$150,000 contract to deliver key technical work for Glomar Minerals’ planned US polymetallic nodule refinery. The work takes Project Infinity into a formal Preliminary Economic Analysis, although the project remains at an early evaluation stage and its cost estimates carry a wide accuracy range.

Kingsrose Mining is entering FY27 with A$18.1 million in cash, a fresh CEO and a portfolio that now depends more heavily on permitting, partnerships and capital discipline. The company’s nearest-term opportunity is Penikat drilling in Finland, while its Norwegian projects require new routes to funding or value realisation.

Nimy Resources has paired a maiden gallium resource and encouraging metallurgical recoveries with a sharp warning about funding pressure and an unresolved Lind legal dispute. The explorer ended FY2026 with $3.92 million in cash, but a $4.76 million Lind liability and an auditor-flagged going-concern uncertainty remain central risks.

Podium Minerals says optimisation work has maintained approximately 80% overall 3E recovery while cutting the targeted size of its downstream recovery circuit by about half. The technical gains came alongside a larger annual loss and an explicit reliance on further funding to advance Parks Reef.

GreenTech Metals has turned a year of drilling, acquisitions and capital raising into a much larger West Pilbara exploration portfolio. The opportunity is growing, but the annual report also flags a material uncertainty over future funding as the company pursues Munni Munni and Whundo.

West Coast Silver has secured a prospecting licence immediately west of its Elizabeth Hill mining lease, opening a new near-mine exploration target with historical silver, copper, nickel and palladium anomalism. The company plans to validate the old data before deciding whether to drill.

West Coast Silver has added a 70%-owned prospect immediately west of its Elizabeth Hill silver mine, with historical results pointing to silver, copper, nickel and palladium potential. The targets remain early-stage: the company plans data review, fieldwork and geophysics before deciding whether to drill.

Pivotal Metals has used its FY2026 annual report to position Horden Lake as a larger, better-understood Quebec copper project, with a maiden scoping study targeted for September. The company also expanded Belleterre drilling and added the Bambino project, but remains loss-making and dependent on further funding.

AML3D has secured an initial AU$0.5 million order to manufacture three high-pressure copper-nickel components for US Navy nuclear submarines. The deal moves its Ohio operation from qualification programs into paid production, although delivery, testing and commissioning remain outstanding.
