Latest Drilling Plans News

Kalgoorlie Gold Mining has identified multiple coherent gold-in-regolith anomalies across the first 225-hole aircore test of its LTZ Flexure target at Pinjin. The strongest exploration signal stretches up to 2km, but primary gold mineralisation at depth remains unconfirmed.

Accelerate Resources has completed three large-diameter diamond holes at its Area 42 manganese project, with visual mineralisation recorded in each hole. The standout hole covered a 72m downhole span and ended in mineralised chert breccia, but assays and metallurgical results are still pending.

Cobre has completed its A$90 million capital raise, including an approximately A$17.7 million second tranche backed by its two largest shareholders and directors. The proceeds will support Sierra Atacama ownership, debt repayment, plant upgrades and exploration in Chile and Botswana.

Peregrine Gold has secured $2.25 million through a discounted placement backed by major shareholder Mark Creasy, Lion Selection Group and company directors. The funding is earmarked for maiden drilling and broader gold and iron ore exploration in Western Australia, subject to heritage and Programme of Work approvals.

Prospect Resources has reported its first Phase 3 infill assays from Nyungu Central, including 18 metres at 1.31% copper, while extensional drilling continues to identify broad mineralisation beyond the existing resource. Twenty Nyungu Central assay results remain pending as the company advances toward a Q1 2027 Mumbezhi Scoping Study.

Broken Hill Gold has recast itself from explorer to South Australian gold operator, producing its first doré while uncovering a deeper gold-copper sulphide system at White Dam. The transformation came with a $14.46 million FY2026 loss and continuing reliance on capital markets.

Koonenberry Gold posted a sharply wider FY2026 loss after impairing its namesake project, while exploration spending rose and Enmore drilling extended a gold system to depth. The company has since raised $3.78 million from a placement, but remains dependent on equity funding.

Recharge Metals ended FY2026 with $5.61 million in cash after a $5.97 million capital raise and the acquisition of the Sunset Well gold project. The explorer now faces a sharper test: whether drilling can turn Prospero’s 94,500-ounce inferred resource and its broader exploration portfolio into something more substantial.

Middle Island Resources has outlined a much larger Serbian exploration portfolio after acquiring Konstantin Resources, with Bobija emerging as a broad shallow gold-silver polymetallic system. But the ASX explorer also reported a $3.35 million loss, $2.39 million in cash and an auditor-flagged material uncertainty over its ability to continue without further capital.

Odessa Minerals has expanded its Western Australian exploration targets and ended FY2026 with $3.66 million in cash, but its annual loss nearly doubled as equity-based payments increased. The company is now preparing a maiden 10,000-metre air-core program while remaining dependent on future funding and exploration success.

Clara Resources has pivoted decisively from coal to gold, but its Mareeba ambition sits alongside a $7.36 million annual loss, only $112,000 in year-end cash and a disclosed material uncertainty over going concern. The company is now relying on drilling, asset-sale proceeds and further capital to keep the strategy moving.

Reedy Lagoon is relying on shareholder approval for a $1.8 million underwritten placement after ending the year with $44,416 in cash and a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The recapitalisation would fund exploration, but comes with substantial dilution and a staged repayment of related-party debt.
