Latest Diamond Drilling News

Gateway Mining's latest gravity inversion modelling and geochemical analyses at the Yandal Gold Project reveal structurally complex intrusions and a rare sanukitoid intrusion, underpinning accelerated drilling plans.

Minerals 260 Limited has reported exceptional high-grade gold intercepts at its Bullabulling Gold Project, prompting a significant increase in its drilling program from 80,000 to 110,000 metres. The new results reinforce the potential to expand the current 2.3 million ounce resource and support an updated Mineral Resource Estimate by December 2025.

Lunnon Metals reports significant high-grade gold assay results from infill drilling at its Hustler prospect, confirming two distinct mineralised structures and moving closer to an initial Mineral Resource estimate. Meanwhile, exploration at Defiance West reveals structural complexity with anomalous base metals but no significant gold yet.

Black Cat Syndicate reports promising early drilling results at its Paulsens West and Big Sarah gold projects in Western Australia, with mineralisation intersected and assays pending.

Larvotto Resources has reported strong drilling results extending high-grade gold and antimony mineralisation at its Hillgrove project in NSW, confirming continuity at Eleanora and Golden Gate prospects and initiating new exploration at Metz and Freehold.

Beacon Minerals has reported robust assay results from its Stage 2 drilling at the Iguana Deposit, revealing multiple high-grade gold intersections and promising depth extensions in the Northwest Corridor.

Western Mines Group has completed diamond drill hole MTD030 at its Mulga Tank Project, intersecting extensive olivine cumulate ultramafic rock with multiple intervals of visible nickel sulphide mineralisation, including high-tenor blebs confirmed by spot pXRF readings up to 41.3% nickel. This confirms a dynamic komatiite system and reinforces the project's large-scale potential.

Noronex Limited has confirmed deeper, higher-grade copper mineralisation at its Fiesta Project in Namibia through diamond drilling, setting the stage for a substantial 7,000m Reverse Circulation drilling campaign funded by South32.

Astral Resources has reported robust gold intercepts from its recent drilling at the Spargoville Gold Project, highlighting potential to expand existing resources beneath the 8500N palaeochannel deposit. Concurrent exploration at Mandilla and lithium targets at KOMIR JV further underpin the company’s multi-asset growth strategy.

Southern Cross Gold Consolidated Ltd reports exceptional high-grade gold and antimony drill results from its Sunday Creek project in Victoria, revealing significant mineralization extensions both laterally and at depth.

Santana Minerals has reported new high-grade gold drill results from its Rise and Shine deposit, revealing significant extensions of the mineralised core beyond current mining plans. These findings could pave the way for resource upgrades and longer mine life.

Ardea Resources updates on the Kalgoorlie Nickel Project’s Goongarrie Hub, announcing a delay in the Definitive Feasibility Study completion to early 2026 while highlighting ongoing technical advances and strong JV collaboration.
