Pilbara Gold has reported significant new gold intersections below the current pit shell at its Mt York Project, suggesting potential for resource growth ahead of a prefeasibility study update.

Dreadnought Resources has identified 12 extensive gold mineralised corridors at its Illaara Gold Project, covering nearly 40km strike with only 10% of the greenstone belt tested. Follow-up infill drilling is planned to refine these targets.

Azzuro Resources has confirmed high-grade copper-gold-zinc-silver mineralisation over nearly 550 metres of strike at its Red Hill project in Mongolia, with the system remaining open in all directions and metallurgical testing set to begin in Q3 2026.

Kalamazoo Resources has completed a substantial drilling program at its Mt Olympus deposit, delivering high-grade gold intersections that bolster confidence ahead of an updated Mineral Resource Estimate and ongoing Pre-Feasibility Study.

Australis Oil and Gas has submitted a permit application for the first well under its US$46.25 million carried work program in the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale, targeting a Q4 2026 spud and expanding its held-by-production acreage.

Great Western Exploration has kicked off a reverse circulation drilling campaign at its Juggernaut copper-gold project in Western Australia's Yerrida Basin, testing six volcanic-hosted massive sulphide targets with strong parallels to the nearby DeGrussa deposit.

AusQuest has paused its maiden drilling at the Coober Pedy IOCG project after encountering difficult sand cover, with plans to resume in Q3 2026 using a new drilling method and contractor. Assay results from the limited completed holes are due by the end of July.

Kali Metals has delivered initial Phase II drilling results from its Marble Bar Gold Project, confirming gold mineralisation extends deeper at the Tiger II Prospect. The program, combining reverse circulation and diamond drilling, highlights ongoing potential for resource growth.

Atomic Eagle's drilling at the Muntanga Uranium Project in Zambia has expanded key uranium mineralisation zones at Chisebuka, confirming continuity between deposits and setting the stage for upcoming drilling programs.

Alicanto Minerals (ASX:AQI) has secured A$30 million through an institutional placement to fund an aggressive drilling campaign at its Mt Henry Gold Project in Western Australia, boosting its cash reserves to about A$41 million ahead of a resource update later this year.
