Latest Drill Planning News

Critical Resources Limited’s initial RC drilling at the Cap Burn Gold Project in New Zealand confirms a broad orogenic gold system with strong arsenic association, setting the stage for deeper follow-up drilling.

Antares Metals has launched an extensive field campaign at its Quinns Gold & Copper Project, expanding its landholding and securing approvals for initial drilling. The company aims to unlock significant orogenic gold potential through modern exploration techniques.

Magnum Mining and Exploration Limited has reported outstanding high-grade gold and copper assay results from its 2026 surface geochemical program at the Parker Project in Arizona, confirming extensive mineralised corridors and setting the stage for imminent drilling.

Avira Resources has validated significant high-grade gold intersections at its Mt Cattlin Gold Project, underpinning plans for a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate by the end of 2026. The company is poised to commence drilling in Q2 to test extensions across multiple prospects.

Patagonia Lithium has reported lithium assay results up to 412ppm from its Formentera well, surpassing the project average and setting the stage for an updated Mineral Resource Estimate and further drilling.

Black Horse Mining has reported exceptional high-grade gold results from its Mt Egerton project, including assays reaching 46.2 grams per tonne, extending known mineralisation vertically by 10 metres. The findings reinforce the potential for significant unmined gold lodes at shallow depths.

Yandal Resources has launched a major 2026 exploration program across its Ironstone Well-Barwidgee Gold Project, aiming to expand recent discoveries and unlock new gold deposits in Western Australia’s prolific Yandal Greenstone Belt.

Desert Minerals has launched a targeted drilling campaign at its Scotty Lithium Project in Nevada, aiming to define near-surface lithium mineralisation and support a maiden resource estimate. The project sits in a prolific lithium district adjacent to one of North America’s largest lithium deposits.

Manhattan Gold has contracted Northspan Explorations for a 4,000m reverse circulation drilling campaign at its Hook Lake Project in Nunavut, aiming to validate high-grade gold and polymetallic targets across a vast underexplored greenstone belt.

Sunshine Metals has secured a $202,235 Queensland Government grant to fund diamond drilling at the Trooper Creek Au-Ag-Cu-Zn target, testing a promising geophysical anomaly. This move complements ongoing work at its Liontown and Sybil projects, signalling a busy exploration period ahead.

White Cliff Minerals has initiated the restart of drilling operations at its Rae Copper Project in Nunavut, Canada, aiming to expand high-grade sedimentary copper mineralisation along key fault zones.

Kalamazoo Resources reports strong initial assay results from its Phase 1 drilling at Ashburton, confirming significant gold mineralisation beyond the existing 1.44Moz resource. The findings validate geological models and set the stage for further resource growth.
