Latest Diamond Drilling News

Anax Metals is upgrading its Whim Creek Heap Leach Scoping Study to a Feasibility Study, aiming to unlock additional value from low-grade copper and zinc ores alongside its strong concentrator project.

Santana Minerals has reported further high-grade gold intercepts from infill drilling at its Rise and Shine South deposit, enhancing the size and grade consistency of the high-grade core and revealing promising deeper mineralisation.

AusQuest’s latest diamond drilling at the Cangallo project in Peru pushes copper mineralisation down to at least 800 metres and reveals multiple higher-grade zones, reinforcing the scale of this emerging porphyry system.

Tali Resources has initiated diamond drilling at its Khya prospect, aiming to test significant copper-gold and critical minerals anomalies within the Lake Mackay Fault Zone, backed by a $270,000 government co-funding grant.

Taruga Minerals has unveiled exceptional gold and silver assays from rock chip sampling at its East Normanby Gold Project, confirming extensive high-grade epithermal mineralisation across an 8km corridor. The company is set to kick off its maiden diamond drilling program at the Weioko Gold Deposit, with multiple new targets identified for follow-up.

Vertex Minerals has revised the Reward Gold Mine resource to 146,900 ounces at 16.68 g/t gold, boosting the Indicated grade by 36% to 21.17 g/t. The update refines geological confidence and outlines three priority underground drilling targets ahead of planned 2027 operations.

ZhongNuo has begun a 15-day geological mapping program at Chariot Resources' Iganna lithium project in Nigeria, marking a key step under their binding term sheet. This work precedes a potential drilling campaign contingent on project selection.

Valiant Gold is fast-tracking the restart of its Comet Gold Mine in Western Australia, securing major infrastructure contracts and advancing technical studies to target production resumption by Q2 FY27.

Unity Metals has significantly expanded the known gold mineralisation at its O’Phlay Gold Project in Cambodia, hitting a 70.4m intercept at 1.1 g/t gold that extends the deposit to at least 230m depth and remains open.

White Cliff Minerals has expanded the ultra high-grade Danvers 3 copper zone at its Rae Project, hitting a new peak assay of 23.5% copper and extending the mineralised strike to over 220 metres. Follow-up drilling aims to unlock further growth across the emerging copper system.

Pacific Resources has confirmed a new high-grade copper zone at its Dogwood project, with assays revealing the highest copper grade recorded to date alongside a first-ever polymetallic porphyry signature from laboratory tests.

Lion Rock Minerals has revealed high-grade rare earth element mineralisation starting at surface at its Minta Project in Cameroon, with assays showing up to 21.15% TREO in saprolite and a magnet-rich rare earth basket. A large-scale drilling campaign is underway to further define this significant discovery.
