Latest Drill Planning News

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.

Lightning Minerals has identified two distinct gold target corridors within the Western Zone of its Mt Turner Project, highlighting a 1km-long intrusion-related gold anomaly and multiple epithermal-style trends. Follow-up sampling and trenching are planned to refine these targets ahead of drilling.

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.

Kaoko Metals has reported broad zones of visible copper mineralisation in the first two diamond drill holes at its Chalkos Copper-Silver Project in Namibia, with assays pending in the coming weeks.

Kalgoorlie Gold Mining’s recent RC drilling at Lighthorse has delivered its highest-grade intercept yet, alongside broad mineralised zones that hint at a significant concealed gold system in the Pinjin Project.

Breakthrough Minerals extends high-grade copper-gold mineralisation at its Turpentine deposit with new drill results confirming resource growth potential in North Queensland.

TechGen Metals has started drilling at its Blue Devil copper-gold target in East Kimberley, WA, backed by government co-funding. Meanwhile, drilling at the Red Devil target completed with pyrite but no copper mineralisation observed.

Greenvale Energy has identified a substantial 9km-long paleochannel uranium target at its Thunderball Project in the Northern Territory, setting the stage for maiden drilling and further geophysical surveys.

FMR Resources has completed preliminary 3D inversion modelling of induced polarisation data at its La Martuca Prospect in Chile, refining key chargeability anomalies linked to known mineralised structures and advancing a first-pass drill plan for Q4 2026.

Hawk Resources has cleared a major regulatory hurdle with the WA Minister for Aboriginal Affairs approving a Mining Entry Permit for its Olympus scandium project, paving the way for exploration activities to begin by September 2026, pending final government consents.

Diablo Resources has delivered exceptional first-pass rock sampling results at its Horn Silver Project in Utah, revealing a district-scale polymetallic system rich in silver, gold, copper, lead, and zinc. These findings reinforce historical structural models and set the stage for imminent drilling campaigns.
