Latest Drill Targets News

MetalsGrove Mining has expanded its Côte d’Ivoire gold footprint and begun a 10,000-metre auger campaign, but its FY2026 annual report carries a material going-concern uncertainty. The company ended the year with $1.97 million in cash after raising $2.70 million, while exploration commitments due within 12 months total $1.09 million.

Lunnon Metals has delivered thick, consistent gold intersections at the Plentiful prospect, where drilling now sits at approximately 20m by 20m spacing. The company is moving towards modelling and economic assessment, although a separate deep-drilling target failed to deliver enough encouragement for further work.

Moho Resources has expanded its Bush Chook exploration story with new shallow gold systems, but its auditor has warned that ongoing cash outflows and reliance on future funding create material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company held $1.27 million in cash at 30 June 2026 after raising $2 million and selling Silver Swan North.

Greenvale Energy has identified six additional uranium targets at its Thunderball Project in the Northern Territory, tied to a newly interpreted fault structure and coincident geophysical anomalies. Early laboratory results also support uranium anomalism at Wildcard South and along a possible Hayes Creek Fault splay, although drilling has yet to begin.

Lightning Minerals has started a 262-sample Phase 3 soil program at its Warby Tungsten Project in North Queensland, with the first 162 samples already at the laboratory. Results expected in October will help determine whether open tungsten anomalies are ready to support maiden drilling.

Aruma Resources is adding 32 contiguous claims to its Tillex copper-silver project in Ontario, expanding the land position to approximately 28.4km². The new ground extends interpreted copper trends and introduces largely untested gold targets, while Phase 2 drilling continues to push the existing high-grade zone southwest.

49 Metals will begin a 3,500-metre follow-up drilling program at its Gold Mountain project in Nevada in October, targeting extensions of the Adit Zone discovery. The campaign is fully funded and follows a maiden program in which all 22 holes intersected gold and/or silver mineralisation.

Kaoko Metals has expanded drilling at its Chalkos Copper-Silver Project to at least 15,000 metres after encouraging early observations at Otniel and a new surface copper discovery at Donkey Hill East. A second rig is now drilling Donkey Hill, while assays from the first two Otniel holes are expected within two to three weeks.

Powerhaus Uranium entered the ASX with a $2.14 million annual loss, $1.51 million operating cash outflow and net liabilities at 30 June 2026. A subsequent $9 million IPO and the Hidden Bay acquisition have given the early-stage explorer a larger exploration runway, but drilling remains subject to approvals and future funding will still matter.

Xenora Minerals has reduced its annual loss and lifted cash to A$2.17 million while advancing geochemical targets at the Dudley Lithium Project. The next test is whether those anomalies can justify drilling and support the company’s next funding decision.

Famien Resources has used the year to pivot decisively from Australian exploration towards a 3,700km² gold portfolio in Côte d’Ivoire, backed by A$15.2 million in placements and A$13.1 million in cash. Early drilling has produced several high-grade intercepts, but the company remains loss-making and has yet to declare a mineral resource.

PTR Minerals has identified water-bearing aquifers at all three paleochannel targets tested at its Rosewood Titanium Project, addressing a key requirement for its proposed gravity-based processing operation. The company has also cleared access for infill drilling and broader exploration in South Australia.
