Latest Drilling Results News

Ore Resources has extended lithium mineralisation beyond the current resource boundaries at its Big Red and Potoroo pegmatites, with drilling still open to the north and west. The results add exploration upside to Kangaroo Hills as the company advances strategic discussions and approvals for a potential DSO operation.

Gold Mountain has identified clustered niobium, magnet rare earth and phosphate anomalies across four Araxá prospects after expanding its stream sediment dataset to 515 samples. The results sharpen exploration targets, but the project remains well short of drilling, resource definition or economic assessment.

LE Minerals has confirmed lithium-bearing brines across its White Plains project in Utah, with 12 direct push holes returning grades of up to 114 mg/L at 15 metres. The company will now work towards a maiden JORC Mineral Resource, although five southern auger sites produced no brine and several claims were not renewed.

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.

Rox Resources has started surface diamond drilling at Youanmi, targeting resource conversion, incremental growth and deeper extensions of the high-grade United North system. The campaign could support future reserve growth and mine-life extensions, but its value still depends on drilling results that have yet to arrive.

Kingfisher Mining has remade itself around a 700 square kilometre New South Wales exploration portfolio, with Copper Blow emerging as the flagship after high-grade drilling. The shift came alongside a $1.16 million FY2026 loss, $1.21 million in cash and an explicit reliance on future funding.

Native Mineral Resources has told ASX it is unaware of any undisclosed information behind recent trading in its shares. The company pointed to record August gold output, a Citigold joint venture, Blackjack drilling results and stronger gold prices instead.

Golden Dragon Mining has extended the Cue Gold Project’s high-grade story, with Behring Bore returning 4 metres at 6.98 g/t gold and Coodardy mineralisation now defined across about 500 metres of strike. A larger 2,500-metre RC program will test whether the zones continue at depth and along strike.

Gateway Mining has secured firm commitments for a A$45 million placement, including A$20 million from Jupiter Asset Management, to fund an aggressive exploration campaign at its Yandal Gold Project. The raising follows a high-grade Cowza result and will issue 562.5 million new shares at a discount to market.

Culpeo Minerals has started a four-hole, 2,000-metre maiden diamond drilling programme at Vista Montana, testing a copper-molybdenum target north-east of its Lana Corina discovery. The company is also using IP surveys to refine targets, while assays from El Quillay South returned several narrow copper-gold intersections.

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.

Sunstone Metals has completed its 30-hole Bramaderos resource-growth program with a 5.95m zone grading 26.61 g/t AuEq and a separate 367.99m mineralised intersection. The results will feed into a 2026 resource update expected in the coming quarter.
