Latest Drill Targets News

Maronan Metals has secured firm commitments for a $20 million placement to expand drilling and bring forward engineering, permitting and metallurgical work at its Queensland project. The raise is conditional on shareholder approval, with Kinterra Capital set to lift its interest to 22.99%.

An independent ERM review has identified 22 prospective targets at Daly Resources’ Batten Project, including 11 ranked Priority 1. Hot Spring remains the lead drilling target, while a newly interpreted 12-kilometre Berjaya Corridor has emerged as the project’s most intriguing regional opportunity.

Midas Minerals has extended confirmed mineralisation at its Spaatzu copper-silver deposit in Namibia to 1.5 kilometres, with broad shallow intercepts continuing to emerge from step-out drilling. Assays from another 19 holes are pending ahead of a planned initial resource estimate in the first quarter of 2027.

Recharge Metals has completed its 100% acquisition of the Ironstone Well Gold Project, expanding its Prospero gold exploration trend near Leonora to more than 15km. The deal lands just as the company prepares to start its first 30,000m drilling campaign at the adjoining Sunset Well project.

Aurum Resources has reported further gold mineralisation across three Boundiali targets, including a high-grade 5.85-metre intercept at BMT3. The 60-hole program is designed to expand the resource, upgrade confidence and support a maiden estimate for BMT2 ahead of an early fourth-quarter update.

Carnarvon Energy is lining up Ara as the likely firm well in its 2027 Bedout campaign, backed by a contracted rig, environmental approvals progressing and A$97 million in cash. The prospect carries 191 million barrels of oil equivalent in gross unrisked prospective resources, but only a 37% geological chance of success and uncertain fluid type.

Tennant Minerals has begun a multi-stage diamond drilling campaign targeting extensions and possible repetitions of its high-grade Bluebird copper-gold-bismuth discovery. The program tests an interpreted 1.5km structural corridor, but the Warrego-scale comparison remains an exploration target rather than an estimate of mineralisation.

Daly Resources has emerged from its June ASX debut with $11.05 million in cash, a 6,500 km² Northern Territory exploration portfolio and a growing list of drill targets. The catch is familiar for early-stage explorers: the company has yet to define a mineral resource or reserve, while its strongest Huckitta results remain surface sampling rather than drilling.

Torque Metals has secured A$25 million from institutional investors to expand drilling and regional exploration at its Ritz Gold Project in Western Australia. The placement will lift pro forma cash to about A$32.7 million, but adds roughly 21% to the existing share count and leaves the company’s million-ounce ambition dependent on exploration results.

Black Cat Syndicate has reported a 9.86-metre gold intercept grading 27.38g/t at the Lynx lode, including 0.60 metres at 186.27g/t, while initial drilling 600 metres away at Raisebore supports a parallel mineralised structure. Neither target has yet been added to Paulsens’ Mineral Resource, leaving further assays and modelling to do before the scale of the discoveries can be quantified.

Corazon Mining has returned broad gold intercepts from the first two holes of its Chalice drilling campaign, including 4 metres at 9.93 g/t gold. The results offer an early test of extensions south of the historical pit, with most assays still pending.

Stellar Resources has intersected high-grade tin 150 metres north of its Severn resource, strengthening the geological case for a connection with the Montana deposit. Follow-up drilling is underway, but any resource or production uplift remains unconfirmed.
