Latest Drilling Plans News

Horizon Oil’s Letter of Intent with Power and Water Corporation for a new Mereenie gas sales deal has expired without replacement, prompting a suspension of planned infill drilling and a notable cut to capital expenditure forecasts.

Rimfire Pacific Mining has boosted its Murga Scandium Deposit resource by 300%, lifting the inferred mineral resource to 56.1 million tonnes at 138ppm scandium. The deposit’s low iron content hints at potential cost savings via atmospheric leaching, with follow-up drilling and metallurgical tests slated for mid-2026.

Kairos Minerals has boosted its Mt York Gold Project resource estimate to 2.08 million ounces, marking a 50% increase in contained gold and setting the stage for an aggressive 2026 drilling and feasibility campaign.

Infinity Mining (ASX:IMI) has pinpointed significant gold and copper anomalies in the Pilbara, with historic samples hitting 240 g/t gold and 7.8% copper. The company plans surface sampling and drilling this winter, while appointing geologist Steven Wood to its board.

FMR Resources has reported assay results from three diamond drillholes at the Southern Porphyry target within its Chilean Llahuin Project, confirming a large, vertically extensive porphyry-related hydrothermal system. While the causative porphyry core remains untested, elevated gold and molybdenum values suggest proximity, prompting plans for a focused Phase II drill program.

Belararox Limited has launched a >1,000 km² airborne electromagnetic survey over its Kalahari Copper Project in Botswana, aiming to unlock new copper targets near MMG’s expanding Khoemacau hub. Diamond drilling is planned for May to follow up on promising geophysical anomalies.

Invictus Energy has secured renewal of its Environmental Impact Assessment in Zimbabwe and is poised to execute a key Petroleum Production Sharing Agreement, enabling significant exploration and appraisal activities in the Cabora Bassa Basin.

Viking Mines Limited has reported successful results from an expanded ground gravity survey at its Linka Tungsten Project in Nevada, identifying numerous new high gravity anomalies that correlate with known mineralisation and concealed targets beneath volcanic cover. These findings support the company’s plan to commence drilling in the June quarter.

TMK Energy Limited (ASX: TMK) reported a 48% increase in average daily gas production at its Gurvantes XXXV Coal Seam Gas Project in March 2026, achieving a new peak daily rate before temporarily curtailing output for operational safety. The company also secured a Memorandum of Understanding with Mongolia’s regulator to facilitate power generation and progress towards an exploitation license.

OD6 Metals has announced continuous and high-grade fluorspar mineralisation at its Quinn Fluorspar Project in Nevada, with channel sampling returning 12 metres at an average grade of 40.8% CaF2, including a peak of 54.0% CaF2. These results validate historic data and indicate a large-scale breccia replacement system with significant untested potential.

Strickland Metals Limited has reported promising first-pass diamond drilling results at the Obradov Potok prospect within its Rogozna Gold and Base Metals Project in Serbia, confirming significant lead-zinc-silver mineralisation consistent with proximity to a copper-gold skarn system.

Ore Resources Ltd (ASX: OR3) has expanded its soil sampling program at the Miriam Project in Western Australia, defining three new refined gold-in-soil anomalies and extending a gold anomalous corridor to 3.2 kilometres. The company is integrating these findings with geophysical data ahead of a substantial drilling campaign.
