Latest Epithermal Systems News

Advance Metals has reported its strongest combined silver-gold-copper interval to date at the Gavilanes Project in Mexico, alongside multiple high-grade silver zones. The mineralised system remains open at depth and along strike, underpinning plans for a JORC resource upgrade in late 2026.

Great Southern Mining (ASX:GSN) has launched an aggressive 20,000m drilling campaign targeting multiple gold discoveries across Western Australia and Queensland, including expansions at Golden Boulder and Amy Clarke, and diamond drilling at the Edinburgh Park joint venture with Gold Fields.

Iltani Resources has reported robust assay results from 11 recent drill holes at its Orient West project, confirming multiple high-grade silver-indium intersections and broad mineralised zones at open pittable depths.

Taruga Minerals has revealed new rock chip assays from Normanby Island, Papua New Guinea, that affirm a district-scale epithermal gold-silver system along an 8km corridor. The results underpin imminent drilling at the Weioko Gold Deposit and expand exploration potential across granted tenements.

49 Metals has confirmed and extended a high-grade gold feeder structure at its Gold Mountain project in Nevada, with drilling revealing significant gold mineralisation and promising signs of a larger epithermal system.

Gateway Mining’s initial aircore drilling at Great Western reveals a 4km gold-mineralised dolerite unit with high-grade silver zones, indicating a broad hydrothermal system with significant exploration upside.

Sentinel Metals has successfully completed its first diamond drill hole at the Columbia Gold-Silver Project, intersecting a hydrothermal breccia zone beneath the historically targeted oxide horizon, validating a geophysical conductor and opening new exploration avenues.

QMines Limited wraps up its extensive Mount Mackenzie drilling campaign, confirming deeper and structurally complex high-grade gold zones and advancing resource estimation at North Knoll Core.

Koonenberry Gold (ASX:KNB) has pinpointed a significant near-surface porphyry copper-gold target at its Dunedoo Project in NSW, backed by robust geological, geophysical, and geochemical data. Drill permits are secured for a Q3 2026 campaign targeting multiple priority prospects including Bolinda Vale, Hillside, and Tucklan.

Legacy Minerals has confirmed a new gold-silver epithermal mineralised system at its Mascotte Prospect, with assays showing gold grades up to 9.7g/t Au and significant base metals. The discovery lies entirely outside the current 1.2Moz AuEq Mt Carrington resource, opening the door for resource expansion.

Sunshine Metals has kicked off a comprehensive airborne magnetic and radiometric survey at its Sybil Gold Project in Queensland, setting the stage for a drilling program targeting multiple high-grade prospects including the first-ever tests at Francis Creek East.

Great Northern Minerals has unveiled a maiden Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate at its Iron Butte Gold-Silver Project in Nevada, quantifying 480,000 ounces of gold and 11.5 million ounces of silver. The deposit remains open for expansion, with drilling planned for Q3 2026 backed by $3.9 million in cash.
