Latest Drill Programs News

American West Metals is set to launch a major drilling campaign at its West Desert Project in Utah, aiming to expand its world-class indium resource and explore high-grade gallium mineralisation. This initiative aligns closely with the US government's renewed focus on securing domestic critical metals supply chains.

Stavely Minerals has advanced exploration at its large-scale Freddy’s Find gold prospect, completing key drilling phases and preparing for further work in early 2026. Assay results from recent programs are expected soon, potentially unlocking a significant new gold discovery in western Victoria.

IRIS Metals has signed a binding agreement to farm-in exclusively to the Finley Basin Tungsten Project in Montana, expanding its critical minerals portfolio and cancelling a planned capital raise. Exploration is set to begin in early 2026 with resource estimation targeted for 2027.

Solstice Minerals reports steady progress in expanding its Nanadie copper-gold resource and promising gold intercepts at Yarri, backed by a strong cash position to fuel 2026 exploration.

Pursuit Minerals has identified promising gold and silver targets at its Sascha Marcelina project in Argentina, planning a 4,050-metre drilling campaign to test these high-potential zones. The project’s geological similarities to the world-class Cerro Negro system bolster hopes for a significant discovery.

Boss Energy has withdrawn its 2021 Enhanced Feasibility Study for the Honeymoon uranium project due to significant deviations in resource assumptions, launching a new study focused on a wide-spaced wellfield design that could lower costs and improve recoverability.

Austral Resources has defined multiple high-grade copper-gold exploration targets near its Rocklands processing facility, setting the stage for a sequenced, low-capex growth strategy with drilling planned from late 2026.

Caprice Resources has completed the acquisition of the Comet Exploration Project, significantly expanding its Island Gold Project footprint in Western Australia's Murchison Goldfields. This strategic move triples the company's contiguous landholding along a proven gold corridor, setting the stage for accelerated exploration.

Lodestar Minerals has defined its first Exploration Target at the Neds Creek Gold Project in Western Australia, estimating up to 300,000 ounces of gold within an open-pit framework. The company plans a significant drilling campaign in early 2026 to validate and potentially upgrade this target to a JORC-compliant Mineral Resource.

VBX Limited has reported promising assay results from 65 drill holes at the Wuudagu D plateau, revealing a thicker and higher-grade bauxite profile than previously recorded. This discovery lies outside the current resource estimate, signaling potential for significant resource expansion.

Estrella Resources has reported further high-grade manganese intersections at its Ira Miri Prospect, alongside completion of extensive drilling at the Werumata Limestone Project in Timor-Leste, highlighting promising resource potential.

Rincon Resources has partnered with Greatland Resources in a multi-stage farm-in joint venture on the Telfer South tenements, unlocking a pathway for Greatland to earn up to 75% interest while Rincon retains key assets and focuses on advancing its Hasties deposits.
