Latest Drilling And Assays News

FMR Resources has identified a strong induced polarisation anomaly beneath historical artisanal workings at its Esperanza prospect in Chile, marking it as a priority drill target. The result is encouraging, but remains an early-stage geophysical signal pending 3D modelling, fieldwork and drilling.

Rua Gold has reported its highest-grade Auld Creek drilling results to date, including 0.6 metres at 136.2 g/t gold equivalent and 2.9 metres at 38.8 g/t gold equivalent. The company has completed 19,600 metres of resource drilling and is targeting an updated resource, approvals application and pre-feasibility study before year-end.

Hot Chili has reported a 398-metre copper-gold intersection from surface at its La Verde discovery in Chile, including 62 metres at 0.91% CuEq. The results extend the case for a higher-grade starter pit, but the project remains an exploration discovery with no Mineral Resource declared.

Paterson Resources is set to start an extensive drilling campaign at its Grace Gold Project, aiming to upgrade its 200,000-ounce inferred gold resource and extend high-grade mineralisation along a 1.3km strike in the Paterson Province.

Great Boulder Resources has reported a fresh wave of high-grade drill results at its Peak Hill Gold Project, reinforcing plans for a significant resource upgrade and near-term production underpinned by an ore purchase deal with Westgold.

Sunstone Metals has delivered robust drilling results at its Bramaderos Gold-Copper Project in Ecuador, expanding the Melonal porphyry system with long mineralised intervals and strong grades, setting the stage for a resource update.

Kaoko Metals has reported broad zones of visible copper mineralisation in the first two diamond drill holes at its Chalkos Copper-Silver Project in Namibia, with assays pending in the coming weeks.

Southern Hemisphere Mining has reported substantial new copper sulphide zones at its Llahuin project in Chile, reinforcing an exploration target of up to 340 million tonnes and setting the stage for further drilling and beneficiation work.

Australian Gold and Copper Ltd (ASX: AGC) has revealed a significant new gold-silver zone at its Evergreen Prospect, with assays returning 13.6m at 4.6g/t gold and 23g/t silver from 51.4m. Follow-up drilling is underway to expand this shallow oxide mineralisation, which remains open along strike and at depth.

Hawk Resources has cleared a major regulatory hurdle with the WA Minister for Aboriginal Affairs approving a Mining Entry Permit for its Olympus scandium project, paving the way for exploration activities to begin by September 2026, pending final government consents.

QMines Limited reports strong copper and gold intersections from two recent drill holes at Mt Chalmers, reinforcing the project's potential with ongoing drilling and assays.

Platina Resources' first modern drilling at Sunrise Bore near Laverton reveals a wide, shallow gold system with significant high-grade zones, validating historical data and opening a large exploration window.
