Latest Drill Results News

Neometals reported high-grade gold and copper intersections at Barrambie during the September quarter, but its cash position remains tight after drawing a A$2 million secured loan. The company estimated only 1.08 quarters of funding and is still pursuing A$5 million in unpaid placement proceeds.

Gateway Mining will elevate Richard Pugh to managing director and install Anthony McClure as chair after its November AGM, as the company prepares to intensify exploration at Yandal. The leadership reset comes with a $340,000 fixed package for Pugh and 15 million performance rights tied to share-price hurdles.

Broken Hill Mines has lifted quarterly ore processing to its highest level since 2020 and silver production to a record 102,922 ounces. The result comes as the restarted Pinnacles mine reaches its first clean high-grade bench, opening a path toward greater use of the Rasp plant.

Auric Mining has moved from study work towards execution at its Burbanks-Munda gold plan, securing processing infrastructure for A$1.2 million and reporting strong Munda drilling results. The company is targeting mining at Munda in late 2027 and first gold from Burbanks in early 2028, subject to approvals and project execution.

MGX Resources has reported its first Central Tanami resource statement since acquiring a 50% stake, giving the company an attributable 1.4 million ounces of gold. The shift comes as Koolan Island’s remaining iron ore resources fall to 3.3 million tonnes and its Ore Reserves are reduced to zero ahead of a planned divestment.

Discovery Alaska has secured commitments for a A$900,000 placement and says Boulder Creek is ready for drilling, but its reported cash balance covers only about 2.07 quarters at the latest spending rate. The company is also progressing its proposed Cuddingwarra acquisition, with several key steps still requiring approval or completion.

BOA Resources has extended the interpreted copper mineralised trend at Rooneys beyond 500 metres, with shallow high-grade intersections supporting a larger follow-up drilling campaign. The results add another exploration thread to the company’s expanding Neds Creek project, although continuity and true widths remain untested.

Dundas Minerals has secured firm commitments for a $2.88 million placement to fund drilling and exploration across its Kalgoorlie and Romano gold projects. Forrestania Resources chairman David Geraghty will invest $750,000 and emerge with a 5.57% stake, while directors have committed a further $235,000 subject to shareholder approval.

Minerals Exploration has shifted decisively into New Zealand gold and tungsten, but its annual report flags a $2.66 million loss and a material uncertainty over its ability to continue without further funding. Exploration results are encouraging, though the company has yet to establish a mineral resource or economic discovery.

Aureka has extended the known Irvine gold system 725 metres north with two significant gold zones from its first scout hole into a previously untested conceptual target. The results support further drilling, but remain exploration intercepts rather than a new mineral resource.

49 Metals says every hole in its maiden Gold Mountain campaign intersected gold or silver, including a high-grade 27.4-metre interval and a 170.7-metre broad intercept. A second drilling campaign is now testing whether the Adit Zone has the continuity and scale needed to support a maiden mineral resource estimate in 2027.

Astral Resources has intersected broad, high-grade gold below the current Theia resource pit shell while extending mineralisation about 150 metres south. The results strengthen the exploration case beneath the planned open pit, although a resource or reserve increase has not yet been announced.
