Latest Drill Planning News

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.

Dundas Minerals has launched a reverse circulation drilling campaign at its Rockland Gold Project near Kalgoorlie, aiming to extend a high-grade gold discovery along strike and at depth. The program also sets the stage for further exploration at nearby Baden-Powell.

Ragnar Metals has confirmed high-grade gold extensions at its Harnäs Project in Sweden through recent channel and rock sampling, with drilling preparations now underway following regulatory approvals.

S2 Resources and Black Raven Mining have signed a key Heritage Protection Agreement with the Wajarri Yamaji people, paving the way for exploration licences to be granted over the highly prospective Jillewarra Project in Western Australia.

QX Resources has confirmed multiple high-grade uranium zones at surface within its Madaba Uranium Project in Tanzania, identifying nine immediate drill targets. Planned exploration aims to rapidly advance towards a maiden resource.
