Latest Drill Results News

Noble Helium has rebuilt its balance sheet ahead of drilling at Tanzania’s North Rukwa project, but its auditor has warned that future capital raisings remain critical to the company’s survival. The Kinambo campaign is now moving from preparation to execution, with two wells planned and a prospective helium resource still to be proven.

Patronus Resources enters FY2027 with approximately 2.3 million ounces of gold-equivalent Mineral Resources, $65.1 million in cash and liquid investments, and a 30,000-metre Northern Territory drilling campaign underway. The annual report also records an $8.6 million net loss and a proposed uranium rights transaction that remains conditional.

Mamba Exploration cut its FY2026 loss sharply and ended the year with A$1.19 million in cash after acquiring 70% of the Meeka East Gold Project. But the annual report says additional debt or equity funding is required to sustain exploration, creating a clear financial test for the new Western Australian strategy.

Golden Dragon Mining’s first full financial year as an ASX-listed explorer delivered high-grade shallow gold results at Cue, but also a $735,073 loss and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over going concern. A subsequent $2.2 million placement has strengthened the balance sheet, leaving drilling results and funding discipline as the key tests for FY2027.

North Stawell Minerals has expanded and refined its Darlington-Caledonia exploration targets, including a post-year-end intercept of 0.4 metres at 17.1 g/t gold. But the gold explorer ended FY2026 with $701,960 in cash, a deeper loss and an auditor warning that further funding is needed to sustain operations.

Pioneer Minerals has warned of a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern after closing FY2026 with just A$80,302 in cash. The company is relying on a proposed A$2.5 million capital raising while pushing its Idaho tungsten-gold-gallium project towards maiden drilling.

Tempest Minerals has reported a $4.62 million FY2026 loss after impairing $3.28 million of exploration assets, while cash fell to $969,693. The company retains exposure to Range gold drilling, the Remorse iron deposit and a $3.08 million Capricorn Metals shareholding, but says further funding will be needed to sustain exploration.

Tennant Minerals has reported a high-grade maiden resource and further strong drilling at its Bluebird copper-gold discovery, but the annual report carries a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. A $2.8 million capital raise completed around year-end provides near-term funding, while further exploration and processing studies remain ahead.

Mithril Silver and Gold has lifted the higher-confidence portion of its Copalquin Target 1 resource to 464,000 ounces of gold equivalent, giving the Mexican project a stronger base for mine planning. The upgrade comes alongside a larger loss, substantial exploration spending and an auditor’s warning that further funding is needed to support the company’s going-concern status.

Estrella Resources has identified copper-bearing porphyritic diorite and gold at nine locations around Timor-Leste’s Laleno Dome, strengthening the case for a broader intrusion-related system. The geological signal is encouraging, but drilling approval and representative follow-up work remain outstanding.

Resources & Energy Group has reported a standout 9-metre gold intercept at Goodenough as it prepares a fresh resource estimate. The exploration progress arrives alongside an audited warning that further funding is needed to sustain the business.

WhiteRock Lithium has intersected spodumene-bearing pegmatite in all 10 newly reported drill holes at its Spodumene Mountain prospect in Québec. The visual results strengthen the geological case for continuity, but assays and true widths are still pending.
