Latest Drilling Results News

Golden Horse Minerals has reported its strongest gold intercept at Hopes Hill, with RC hole 26HHRC179 returning 4 metres at 73.3 grams per tonne gold from 88 metres. The result includes visible gold and a 293.2 gram-metre intercept, but its nuggety character means follow-up drilling and sampling will be crucial.

Arika Resources has consolidated full ownership of its two Western Australian gold projects after a year of expanding mineralisation and fresh high-grade targets. The exploration story is gathering momentum, but auditors have flagged material uncertainty around funding as the company moves into a more than 20,000-metre drilling campaign.

Strata Minerals has shifted from broad exploration to a Zelica-centred Western Australian gold strategy, pairing strong drilling results with a proposed capital-light mining pathway funded by BML Ventures. The opportunity is growing, but the company remains loss-making and warns that further funding may be required to continue as a going concern.

Albion Resources has moved into its maiden Gidgee drilling campaign, but the gold explorer’s $2.38 million cash balance and $2.52 million annual operating outflow underpin an auditor warning over its ability to continue without further funding. The company reported a $2.01 million FY2026 loss as it shifted exploration focus towards Gidgee and Yandal West.

Aruma Resources’ 2026 annual report puts the Tillex Copper-Silver Project at the centre of its strategy after wide, high-grade drilling results in Ontario. But the explorer also reported a $2.71 million loss, $788,658 in cash and a material going-concern uncertainty dependent on further capital.

PC Gold has reported broad, higher-than-modelled gold intersections at Spring Hill, including a 29.65-metre zone grading 4.32 g/t gold. Several assays remain outstanding, but the results extend Link Zone mineralisation about 30 metres beyond the current model ahead of a planned December 2026 resource update.

Aurum Resources has extended gold mineralisation beyond the current resource at its BST1 deposit, with standout intercepts including 2.63 metres at 76.74 g/t gold and 24 metres at 6.31 g/t. The results will feed into a Boundiali resource update targeted for early Q4 2026 and a definitive feasibility study due late this year.

LinQ Minerals finished its first full year as an ASX-listed explorer with $16.23 million in cash after spending heavily on Gilmore drilling and raising $15.4 million. The company reported encouraging gold and copper results, but its next phase will test whether exploration success can translate into a larger resource and a credible development pathway.

Lunnon Metals has delivered thick, consistent gold intersections at the Plentiful prospect, where drilling now sits at approximately 20m by 20m spacing. The company is moving towards modelling and economic assessment, although a separate deep-drilling target failed to deliver enough encouragement for further work.

Lion Rock Minerals has reported high-grade rutile and rare-earth results from its 80%-owned Minta project in Cameroon, including up to 4.54% TREO over 2.3 metres. But the exploration story arrives alongside a larger loss, $7.93 million in operating cash outflow and an auditor-flagged material uncertainty over future funding.

Lac Gold’s first 15,000-metre drilling campaign at Rouyn has strengthened its geological model, including a standout 5.65-metre intersection grading 141.29 g/t gold. But the annual report also flags a material uncertainty over going concern as the company approaches its first C$6.67 million promissory note repayment.

CZR Resources has converted the A$75 million Robe Mesa sale into a debt-free exploration war chest, while Croydon drilling expands its flagship gold target. The next test is whether exploration momentum and the proposed Zuleika takeover can create value beyond the one-off transaction gain.
