Latest Drilling Intercepts News

Eminence Minerals has cut its FY2026 loss and raised its pro forma cash position to about A$5.4 million after selling the Mata da Corda titanium project. The portfolio is now centred on Hamersley iron ore and Brazilian rare earth exploration, but heritage litigation, ungranted tenure and future funding needs remain material constraints.

Fin Resources’ first drilling campaign at Cabin Lake delivered gold in all eight holes, including two high-grade shallow intersections at Arrow. But the ASX-listed explorer also reported a sharply wider loss, a major impairment and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue without further capital.

Prospect Resources has expanded drilling at Nyungu Central after returning a 27-metre copper intercept outside the existing resource, while maiden drilling at Sharamba confirms a new copper discovery. The results add momentum to Mumbezhi’s growth story, but most Phase 3 assays remain outstanding and no resource update has yet been made.

Raptor Metals has identified two conductive systems across its Chester copper project, including the strongest off-hole response recorded near a high-grade drill intersection. The results give the company specific targets for follow-up drilling, but the conductors remain exploration targets rather than a resource estimate.

BPM Minerals has secured the final approvals for a maiden approximately 10,000-metre RC drilling campaign at its untested Bonnie and Clyde prospect in Western Australia. Drilling is expected to begin within 5-10 days, putting a more than 6-kilometre gold-in-soil anomaly to its first meaningful test.

Patronus Resources is taking a well-funded exploration campaign into a busy phase, with 30,000 metres of multi-rig drilling underway at Pine Creek and a stated $65 million in cash and investments. The investor presentation also highlights a 2.3Moz AuEq resource base, although parts of the portfolio rely on historical estimates and future WA work remains dependent on heritage access.

Clara Resources is set to kick off a maiden drilling campaign at its Mareeba Gold Project, marking the first drilling activity since the late 1980s. The program, fully funded by a $1.165 million placement, targets historic high-grade gold zones and aims to establish a maiden JORC Mineral Resource.

Noronex Limited has kicked off its first modern exploration program at the Sleitat Tin Project in Alaska, deploying detailed geophysical surveys and fieldwork to refine targets ahead of a planned 2027 drilling campaign.

Cauldron Energy has extended uranium mineralisation strike lengths by approximately 2.5 kilometres at both Manyingee South and Manyingee North within its Yanrey Uranium Project, underpinning significant resource growth potential.

Hawk Resources has obtained all necessary government approvals to begin exploration at its Olympus scandium project in Western Australia, targeting a significant scandium anomaly with plans to fast-track drilling.

Dundas Minerals has kicked off a major reverse circulation drilling campaign targeting resource growth and confidence upgrades across its three Kalgoorlie gold projects, Capricorn, Baden-Powell, and Rockland.

Black Horse Mining has uncovered a new high-grade gold zone at its Mt Egerton project, revealing a previously overlooked west-dipping fault lode with grades exceeding 10 g/t Au. Planned drilling aims to test the down-dip continuity and expand target areas.
