Latest Diamond Drilling News

Albright Metals has reported a sharply wider FY2026 loss and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company’s Canadian Golden Pike project has advanced to a 54,200-ounce JORC resource, but further development depends on funding.

Patronus Resources enters FY2027 with approximately 2.3 million ounces of gold-equivalent Mineral Resources, $65.1 million in cash and liquid investments, and a 30,000-metre Northern Territory drilling campaign underway. The annual report also records an $8.6 million net loss and a proposed uranium rights transaction that remains conditional.

Truscott Mining has confirmed gold mineralisation at a new Westminster structural target and is preparing diamond drilling ahead of a JORC 2012 resource update. The exploration progress comes alongside a larger loss, ongoing funding dependence and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

Battery Age Minerals finished FY26 with stronger cash reserves and drilling progress across Austria and Argentina, but warned that further funding or asset realisations are needed to sustain planned exploration. The company reported a $4.97 million loss, including a $2.60 million non-cash charge linked to its diluted Eminence Minerals holding.

Canterbury Resources enters FY2027 with just $220,503 in cash, net current liabilities and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The explorer is targeting at least $2 million in additional funding while advancing the Monto and Briggs copper projects.

Beacon Minerals has reported a sharp FY2026 recovery, underpinned by higher gold revenue, Lady Ida production and a substantial increase in the Iguana Ore Reserve. The headline profit includes a sizeable asset-sale gain, leaving the next test focused on recurring mine performance.

Valiant Gold’s first annual report shows a newly listed gold company with $62.8 million in cash, no debt and two Western Australian projects moving from demerger to execution. The immediate test is whether Comet can be restarted while drilling at Reedy converts resource potential into something mineable.

Audalia Resources has outlined a 24.2 million tonne Medcalf resource, a maiden 11.77 million tonne probable ore reserve and study economics of up to $227 million in NPV.

Oceana Metals has begun a 20,000-metre diamond drilling campaign at its Serra Negra rare earths project in Brazil, backed by high-grade historic assays and fresh capital.

Tennant Minerals has reported a high-grade maiden resource and further strong drilling at its Bluebird copper-gold discovery, but the annual report carries a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. A $2.8 million capital raise completed around year-end provides near-term funding, while further exploration and processing studies remain ahead.

Falcon Metals has extended mineralised strike at its Blue Moon project beyond 850 metres while increasing exploration spending sharply and raising $30 million after year-end. The results remain exploration-stage, but the company now has substantially more drilling capacity and a second maiden campaign underway in Western Australia.

Pantera Minerals is seeking a low-cost foothold in Western Australia’s Albany Fraser Orogen through the proposed acquisition of the 470km² Corona Gold Project.
