Strata Minerals has exercised its option to acquire 100% of the Zelica Gold Project in Western Australia’s Laverton Province, aiming to fast-track exploration with drilling planned for late 2025. The project boasts historical high-grade gold intercepts and a granted mining licence, positioning Strata for near-term resource development.

Minerals 260 Limited has expanded its Bullabulling Gold Project drilling program to 110,000 meters following strong high-grade gold intercepts, with an updated resource estimate due in December 2025. Initial metallurgical tests show gold recoveries exceeding 95%, bolstering project economics as the pre-feasibility study advances.

Golden Horse Minerals’ maiden drilling at Hopes Hill North and South confirms a mineralised strike exceeding 2.5km, revealing shallow, high-grade gold zones and reinforcing a camp-scale opportunity in Western Australia’s Southern Cross region.

White Cliff Minerals has announced a significant new high-grade copper and silver discovery at its Danvers 2 prospect within the Rae Copper Project, extending mineralisation over 4 kilometres along the Teshierpi Fault Zone. This breakthrough is supported by robust drilling results and preliminary geophysical data, pointing to a larger mineralised system than previously known.

Lode Resources has reported impressive initial drill results from the historic Magwood Antimony Project in NSW, revealing high-grade antimony mineralisation up to 31.1%. This discovery highlights significant unmined potential in a region largely unexplored for decades.

Santana Minerals reports robust assay results from its RAS North drilling program, confirming strong grade continuity and potential resource upgrades. Concurrently, the RINA drilling reveals a fertile, largely untested gold system along the Rise and Shine Shear Zone, hinting at significant regional expansion opportunities.

Stavely Minerals has expanded shallow gold mineralisation at its Fairview North prospect to over 300 metres, revealing high-grade gold intervals and setting the stage for an imminent Phase 3 drilling campaign.

TMK Energy reports a significant 60% increase in gas production at its Gurvantes XXXV Pilot Well Project in September 2025, driven by improved drilling techniques and strategic reservoir management despite operational challenges.

Warriedar Resources has reported robust assay results from 50 drillholes at its Ricciardo deposit, confirming continuity of high-grade gold and antimony mineralisation within its Golden Range Project. The ongoing drilling program aims to further enhance resource confidence and potential growth.

Kinetiko Energy's latest gas flow test at well 271-KA03PT06 in South Africa delivers record extended flow rates, significantly boosting the commercial outlook for its Brakfontein gas cluster.

Great Boulder Resources reports significant high-grade gold intersections at its Side Well South prospect, advancing rapidly towards an initial Mineral Resource Estimate. The latest drilling highlights wide, shallow mineralisation that could boost the project’s overall gold inventory.

Tambourah Metals has reported exceptional high-grade gold intersections from its latest drilling at the Beatty Park South project, highlighting a promising emerging gold system with significant growth potential.
