Latest Drill Results News

Pantoro has increased Norseman’s Mineral Resources by 2% and Ore Reserves by 9% after mining depletion, with the Mainfield delivering the clearest growth. The company also reported a $113.2 million FY2026 profit, but the next test is converting a larger geological inventory into sustained production.

Western Ridge Resources reported a $12.22 million loss for the year ended 30 June 2026, with cash falling to $407,860 and its auditor warning of a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The company is now relying on Keystone drilling and further funding to advance its Nevada exploration strategy.

Lincoln Minerals has moved Minbrie’s Eagle Ridge prospect towards diamond drilling after air core work supported its geological model. But the ASX-listed explorer remains loss-making, cash-burning and dependent on further funding to continue its exploration program.

Tamboran Resources has moved into initial Beetaloo gas sales, but its first annual report after the milestone still records no fiscal 2026 revenue, a $30.5 million loss and substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The company held $219.1 million in cash at June 30, yet faces heavy development spending, no proved reserves and a material weakness in financial controls.

Vital Metals reported a A$16.63 million FY2026 loss after impairing its North T mine asset by A$12.73 million, while its auditor highlighted material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The balance sheet was strengthened by A$12.47 million in placements, but Tardiff’s encouraging drilling results must now translate into a larger resource and a credible pre-feasibility study.

Strata Minerals has shifted from broad exploration to a Zelica-centred Western Australian gold strategy, pairing strong drilling results with a proposed capital-light mining pathway funded by BML Ventures. The opportunity is growing, but the company remains loss-making and warns that further funding may be required to continue as a going concern.

Albion Resources has moved into its maiden Gidgee drilling campaign, but the gold explorer’s $2.38 million cash balance and $2.52 million annual operating outflow underpin an auditor warning over its ability to continue without further funding. The company reported a $2.01 million FY2026 loss as it shifted exploration focus towards Gidgee and Yandal West.

Aruma Resources’ 2026 annual report puts the Tillex Copper-Silver Project at the centre of its strategy after wide, high-grade drilling results in Ontario. But the explorer also reported a $2.71 million loss, $788,658 in cash and a material going-concern uncertainty dependent on further capital.

PC Gold has reported broad, higher-than-modelled gold intersections at Spring Hill, including a 29.65-metre zone grading 4.32 g/t gold. Several assays remain outstanding, but the results extend Link Zone mineralisation about 30 metres beyond the current model ahead of a planned December 2026 resource update.

Aurum Resources has extended gold mineralisation beyond the current resource at its BST1 deposit, with standout intercepts including 2.63 metres at 76.74 g/t gold and 24 metres at 6.31 g/t. The results will feed into a Boundiali resource update targeted for early Q4 2026 and a definitive feasibility study due late this year.

LinQ Minerals finished its first full year as an ASX-listed explorer with $16.23 million in cash after spending heavily on Gilmore drilling and raising $15.4 million. The company reported encouraging gold and copper results, but its next phase will test whether exploration success can translate into a larger resource and a credible development pathway.

Lion Rock Minerals has reported high-grade rutile and rare-earth results from its 80%-owned Minta project in Cameroon, including up to 4.54% TREO over 2.3 metres. But the exploration story arrives alongside a larger loss, $7.93 million in operating cash outflow and an auditor-flagged material uncertainty over future funding.
