Latest Drilling And Assays News

Argent Minerals has secured regulatory approval to launch its first-ever drilling program at the Trunkey Creek Gold Project in NSW, targeting a 4.7km high-grade gold corridor. The initial 1,000m Phase 1 campaign aims to test priority underground targets beneath historic workings.

Flynn Gold’s 2026 drilling at Firetower in northern Tasmania confirms multiple high-grade gold-tungsten-copper-cobalt zones, extending mineralisation depth and strike. Assays from two further holes are pending, with metallurgical testwork and resource modelling underway.

Golden Deeps has kicked off a deeper diamond drilling program at its Graceland discovery in Namibia, aiming to test high-grade copper-silver-zinc-lead-germanium sulphide zones analogous to the world-class Tsumeb deposit. Recent shallow drilling confirmed continuity of exceptional grades, underpinning the exploration push.

FirstAu Limited is gearing up to drill at its First Hit gold deposit, aiming to define a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate based on historic high-grade production and extensive data.

PC Gold’s recent diamond drilling at its Spring Hill Gold Project has delivered high-grade gold intercepts well above modelled expectations, reinforcing the potential for a resource upgrade in late 2026.

Great Boulder Resources has reported standout high-grade gold assays from its initial drilling at the Peak Hill Gold Project, underpinning plans to boost its 481,000oz resource by the end of 2026. The company’s extensive 40,000m campaign is progressing rapidly with multiple rigs operating across key deposits.

Forrestania Resources has reported strong assay results from its recent British Hill drilling, confirming significant high-grade gold mineralisation at depth and along strike, underpinning plans for resource growth and project development.

Marquee Resources has completed a targeted field program at its West Spargoville Project, refining geological models of spodumene-bearing pegmatites and identifying misaligned historical drilling. Pending assay results will guide a re-oriented reverse circulation drilling campaign.

Meeka Metals has encountered visible gold at a record depth of 632.8m in its Turnberry underground project, prompting the mobilisation of a second diamond drill rig to accelerate exploration of this expanding high-grade system.

Terra Metals has pushed the boundaries of its Southwest sulfide discovery at the Dante Project, extending the mineralised strike by 150 metres to over 1,100 metres and confirming multiple high-grade reef zones. The system remains open, with ongoing drilling and assay results set to further define this promising PGM-Cu-Ni-Co corridor.

Solstice Minerals has pushed the boundaries of its Nanadie Copper-Gold Project in WA, reporting a combined 148m intercept at 0.77% copper and 0.20g/t gold that extends mineralisation beyond the current resource estimate.

Sunstone Metals has pushed the boundaries of its Bramaderos gold-copper project in Ecuador with a standout 176m mineralised intersection at Porotillo, expanding the footprint well beyond the current 3.6Moz resource and setting the stage for a resource update in December.
