Latest Drilling Plans News

QEM has ranked the Vaught-Peck prospect as the leading target at its newly acquired Garden Valley project in Idaho after reviewing historical records of columbite, samarskite and other rare-metal minerals. The opportunity remains prospective rather than proven, with no modern drilling, assays or resource estimate yet reported.

Odyssey Gold has identified a previously unmodelled high-grade gold structure west of its Cable deposit, with drilling also strengthening the emerging Argos lode. The results could expand the Tuckanarra resource envelope, although continuity and scale remain to be established.

Ariana Resources has reported broad and high-grade gold intercepts from metallurgical and exploration drilling at its Dokwe project in Zimbabwe. The company has now shipped eight tonnes of samples to China for feasibility-level metallurgical testwork, while further drilling and DFS work remain ahead.

LinQ Minerals has reported broad, shallow copper-gold intersections at Monza, including 113 metres at 0.71% copper equivalent from 33 metres. Mineralisation remains open in multiple directions, while a largely untested corridor could connect Monza with the nearby Estoril resource.

Terrain Minerals has secured a $1 million commitment from Gandel Metals at a 33.33% premium to market, anchoring a broader $2.513 million placement and rights issue. The funds will support the company’s largest planned RC drilling campaign at the Lightning gold and silver project.

Austin Metals has sharpened two gold exploration models after 21 RC holes produced a standout 12-metre intersection at Brunswick Hill, including 1 metre at 12.70 g/t gold. The results also point to previously untested structural targets at Mt Sandy, although the drilling remains early-stage and true widths are not yet known.

Cazaly Resources has refined two magnetic targets at its Abenab North project in Namibia, clearing the way for planned maiden drilling of potential rare earth, copper and base-metal mineralisation. A third target, Cadix, has been downgraded after historic mapping errors were identified.

Galileo Mining has lined up two drilling programs at its Norseman project, targeting an untested extension near Callisto and shallow sulphide mineralisation at Mission Sill. The programs will test encouraging but still preliminary exploration indicators, with results yet to come.

DPM Metals has extended mineralization beyond the existing Dumitru Potok resource in Serbia, led by a 21-metre interval grading 5.44% copper equivalent. The company will add up to 15,000 metres to its 2026 drilling campaign as it works towards a resource update and preliminary economic assessment.

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.

Corazon Mining has confirmed shallow, high-grade gold mineralisation at its Wembley prospect in Western Australia, with drilling extending the known system about 60 metres east of historic work. Seven assays remain outstanding as the company prepares follow-up drilling aimed at an eventual Exploration Target and potential Mineral Resource.

Botala Energy has secured three wholly owned Botswana prospecting licences covering 1,812km², taking its Serowe CBM footprint beyond 6,000km². The expansion comes as the company prepares to flow-test Serowe-3.5B, while the new acreage remains an interpreted exploration opportunity rather than a booked resource.
