Latest Diamond Drilling News

Gorilla Gold Mines continues to expand its North Kalgoorlie Hub resource with standout high-grade intercepts at Sovereign and a promising shallow gold find at Lady Margaret, signalling robust exploration momentum.

Minerals Exploration’s latest drilling at Waitekauri’s Jubilee prospect confirms mineralised zones in all holes, while rock chip sampling reveals spectacular gold grades up to 2,273 g/t near Sovereign, opening fresh avenues for exploration.

Encounter Resources has kicked off a 3,500-metre dual drilling campaign at its Yeneena Copper Project, aiming to extend known high-grade copper mineralisation along the Parbo system and complete a diamond hole at Haddon. Results are due in August 2026.

EV Resources has unveiled a maiden Exploration Target at its Los Lirios Antimony Project in Mexico, estimating up to 166,000 tonnes of contained antimony across three zones. Phase 1 drilling confirmed shallow, continuous carbonate replacement mineralisation, while high-grade feeder zones await further testing.

Raptor Metals has delivered further high-grade copper and polymetallic assay results from its Chester Project in Canada, confirming a large-scale stacked VMS system and extending mineralisation over 2.5km. These findings enhance the geological model and support resource growth potential.

Lachlan Star has confirmed shallow, high-grade gold mineralisation at New Waverley, prompting an expanded 4,000m drilling program to test extensions and increase density along a mineralised shear corridor open in all directions.

Sentinel Metals has successfully completed its first diamond drill hole at the Columbia Gold-Silver Project, intersecting a hydrothermal breccia zone beneath the historically targeted oxide horizon, validating a geophysical conductor and opening new exploration avenues.

QMines Limited wraps up its extensive Mount Mackenzie drilling campaign, confirming deeper and structurally complex high-grade gold zones and advancing resource estimation at North Knoll Core.

Osmond Resources has expanded the high-grade heavy mineral zone at its Orión EU Critical Minerals Project in Spain, with drill hole SOR-08 intersecting key quartzite layers 1.25km from prior discoveries. This development supports the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate and keeps the company on track for a Q3 2026 Scoping Study.

Ballard Mining’s latest drilling at the Baldock deposit pushes high-grade gold mineralisation well beyond its current resource, hinting at a major resource uplift at Mt Ida.

Power Minerals is advancing its Morro do Ferro Rare Earth Project in Brazil with a mineralogical program focused on high-value magnet rare earth elements, aiming to improve project economics and streamline development.

GoldArc Resources has identified distinct critical element associations with gold mineralisation at Mt Stirling and Mt Stirling Well, advancing metallurgical test work and mine planning with BML Ventures.
