Latest Diamond Drilling Programs News

BMC Minerals has kicked off its 2026 drilling campaign at the Kudz Ze Kayah Project with a standout massive sulphide intercept at the Krakatoa Zone, pointing to potential extensions beyond current reserves and a longer mine life.

Breakthrough Minerals has kicked off its first diamond drilling campaign at the Barbara Copper-Gold Project, aiming to extend high-grade mineralisation and boost its Queensland resource base shortly after acquiring the North Queensland Copper-Gold Project.

Native Mineral Resources (ASX:NMR) has delivered strong diamond drilling results at its Blackjack Mine, Queensland, confirming and exceeding previous gold grades. Mining has resumed with ore processing underway, supported by new infrastructure and ongoing development.

Aruma Resources has kicked off its maiden diamond drilling campaign at the Tillex Copper-Silver Project in Ontario, aiming to expand the known high-grade copper mineralisation and deliver a substantial resource estimate.

Astral Resources has reported strong drilling results across its Western Australian gold projects, progressing the Mandilla Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) and securing $1.76 million in a recent placement tranche. The company maintains a healthy cash position of $73 million as it targets first gold production in early 2028.

Yandal Resources has mobilised multiple rigs to its Ironstone Well-Barwidgee Gold Project, advancing extensional drilling at the Arrakis discovery and preparing for diamond drilling at Flushing Meadows, underpinning a busy 2026 exploration calendar.

Haranga Resources has kicked off a 4,000-metre Phase 3 reverse circulation drilling campaign at its Ibel South Gold Project in Senegal, aiming to extend high-grade gold mineralisation down dip and test new anomalies along a largely untested 5km corridor.

West Coast Silver has pinpointed a fresh high-priority conductive anomaly 50 metres east and 110 metres below the Elizabeth Hill Mine using Down Hole Electromagnetic surveying. The company is swiftly moving to drill test this target, which aligns with historic high-grade silver intercepts and could expand the resource base.

Aurum Resources has confirmed a significant 220m depth extension of gold mineralisation at its Boundiali Gold Project in Côte d'Ivoire, reinforcing its 3.03Moz resource and setting the stage for upcoming feasibility studies.

Many Peaks Minerals has completed more than 10,150m of drilling in the March quarter, delivering strong gold intercepts at its Ferké Gold Project in Côte d’Ivoire that underpin an upcoming maiden resource estimate and pre-feasibility study.

Kuniko Limited has completed its Phase I diamond drilling program at the Commonwealth Gold-Silver Project, intersecting visible sulphide mineralisation in all holes and discovering a new 70m mineralised zone at Silica Hill. The company also identified a 4km conductive corridor, setting the stage for an expanded Phase II drilling campaign.

Iceni Gold’s initial RC drilling at Goose Well confirms historic gold mineralisation and reveals a major fault structure that could unlock broader potential. Diamond drilling is set to refine the geological picture and target high-grade shoots.
