Latest Drill Targets News

Leeuwin Metals will acquire three Western Australian exploration tenements covering about 105km², including ground adjoining the Marvel Loch gold mine. The all-scrip deal requires no cash payment, but two of the licences remain applications and the exploration case is still at an early stage.

Gateway Mining has identified a 3km undrilled gold target at Pewy, where geophysical features and nearby aircore results resemble the setting that preceded its Cowza discovery. First-pass drilling is scheduled for early October, backed by the company’s recently completed $45 million placement.

Gold Mountain has identified clustered niobium, magnet rare earth and phosphate anomalies across four Araxá prospects after expanding its stream sediment dataset to 515 samples. The results sharpen exploration targets, but the project remains well short of drilling, resource definition or economic assessment.

Westar Resources has identified three high-priority gold targets at its Jerrys Bore project after analysing 1,167 UltraFine+ soil samples. The anomalies coincide with gold pathfinder elements and interpreted structures, but drilling is still needed to establish whether buried mineralisation exists.

Rox Resources has started surface diamond drilling at Youanmi, targeting resource conversion, incremental growth and deeper extensions of the high-grade United North system. The campaign could support future reserve growth and mine-life extensions, but its value still depends on drilling results that have yet to arrive.

Canadian Phosphate has extended visually identified phosphate mineralisation at its Wapiti project in British Columbia to approximately 9km of strike. The company will spend more on exploration while deferring its Barnes bulk sample to 2027 and relying on lower-margin Montana inventory for near-term supply.

Culpeo Minerals has started a four-hole, 2,000-metre maiden diamond drilling programme at Vista Montana, testing a copper-molybdenum target north-east of its Lana Corina discovery. The company is also using IP surveys to refine targets, while assays from El Quillay South returned several narrow copper-gold intersections.

Sunstone Metals has completed its 30-hole Bramaderos resource-growth program with a 5.95m zone grading 26.61 g/t AuEq and a separate 367.99m mineralised intersection. The results will feed into a 2026 resource update expected in the coming quarter.

Evergold has defined three priority gold targets at its Leonora Goldfields Project after combining 1,312 soil samples with detailed drone magnetics. The early-stage results sharpen the company’s exploration pipeline, but drilling is still needed to establish whether the surface anomalies continue into bedrock.

Galileo Mining has lined up two drilling programs at its Norseman project, targeting an untested extension near Callisto and shallow sulphide mineralisation at Mission Sill. The programs will test encouraging but still preliminary exploration indicators, with results yet to come.

Haranga Resources is preparing to begin a 16-hole underground drilling campaign at its Lincoln Gold Project, targeting the southern resource and an under-drilled gap between the Lincoln and Comet zones. The programme arrives alongside new underground power infrastructure, completed dewatering and several assays that could shape a later resource update.

Evion has identified a previously unmined 200m by 200m prospect at its Carp Fluorspar Project in Nevada, just 300m from the historic South Pit. Assays are pending, with geophysical surveys and a potential maiden drilling programme next in line.
