Latest Drilling And Assays News

Trek Metals has completed its maiden manganese drilling at the Kuro discovery in WA, with visual manganese logged in 63 of 72 holes. The drilling confirms Induced Polarisation as an effective tool for uncovering concealed manganese mineralisation, with assay results expected by early August.

Santana Minerals has reported exceptional high-grade gold intercepts from infill drilling at its Rise and Shine orebody, including a standout 24.4m at 10.9 g/t Au and a deeper 2m section grading 89.5 g/t Au. These results enhance confidence in the deposit’s grade model and the upcoming mining schedule.

Gateway Mining has expanded its Cowza gold discovery in Western Australia to 3.5 kilometres of continuous high-grade mineralisation, reinforcing the prospect’s potential as a major new gold system within the Yandal Project.

49 Metals has expanded its Gold Mountain discovery in Nevada, confirming a broad mineralised envelope around a high-grade feeder corridor with significant shallow and deep oxide gold intercepts. Further assays are pending, setting the stage for follow-up drilling later this year.

Desert Minerals reported strong gold soil anomalies at Mt Monger and completed drilling at Scotty Lithium, pending assays. A $1 million placement boosts cash to A$4.05 million, underpinning upcoming drilling and resource estimation.

Koba Resources has delivered strikingly high tungsten and tin assays from its initial sampling at Queensland's Mt Garnet Project, advancing drilling and exploration plans.

Sinclair Gold continues to push the boundaries of its Mt Henry Gold Project in Western Australia, extending known mineralisation well below previous limits and setting the stage for a significant resource update later this year.

Barkly Rare Earths has kicked off a 10,000-metre drilling campaign at its flagship Barkly Project, aiming to grow its 40 million tonne inferred rare earth resource. Initial assays are imminent, setting the stage for a resource update later this year.

Lion Rock Minerals has launched a significant drilling campaign targeting a large monazite-rich rare earth system at its Minta Est tenement, complementing its expanding rutile discoveries. The 118-hole program aims to validate high-grade shallow mineralisation with assay results expected in August 2026.

Nordic Resources (ASX:NNL) has reported new drill results extending gold-copper mineralisation 30-100m beyond the current resource boundary at its Kopsa project in Finland, with geophysical data suggesting depth continuity. The company plans further drilling and a resource update in 2026.

Nexus Minerals has completed its Payns Prospect drilling with assay results revealing high-grade gold intercepts up to 34.77g/t Au, setting the stage for a maiden resource estimate within the Wallbrook Gold Project.

GoldArc Resources reports strong grade control drilling results from the Mt Stirling Well and Mt Stirling gold deposits, underpinning updated mining models and advancing preparations for regulatory approval ahead of mining.
