Latest Exploration Incentive Scheme News

Antipa Minerals has extended gold-copper-lead-silver mineralisation across 2.2km at Tim’s Dome, sharpening focus on a large untested electromagnetic conductor. Surface diamond drilling is now underway on the 1.2km target, which remains unproven despite encouraging surrounding assays.

Evergold Minerals has reported a sharply smaller FY2026 loss and a stronger cash position after completing its shift from lithium to gold exploration. The company now has $4.0 million in cash and $4.8 million invested in Western Australian exploration assets, but remains dependent on drilling success and future funding.

Solstice Minerals has extended copper-gold mineralisation beyond Nanadie’s current resource boundary, while downhole electromagnetic surveying has identified a 140m by 140m conductor scheduled for immediate drilling. The results add momentum to a three-rig campaign, but the resource itself remains unchanged.

Falcon Metals has started its first-ever drilling at the Olsen Well gold target in Western Australia, expanding the campaign to approximately 6,000 metres after a recent capital raising. The program will test the central portion of a 5.8-kilometre gold-in-soil anomaly supported by rock-chip results of up to 6.42 grams per tonne gold.

Metal Hawk is restarting drilling at the Numbat lode after its best Leinster South result to date, with up to 10 RC holes planned and diamond drilling scheduled for November. The deeper campaign will be supported by up to $175,000 in Western Australian Government co-funding.

TechGen Metals has outlined a funded exploration campaign spanning gold, copper and silver targets, with about A$3 million in pro forma cash and several assays due through late 2026. The strongest potential catalyst is John Bull, where step-out drilling could support a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate if results are positive.

Javelin Minerals is 150 metres into a deep diamond hole aimed at testing an untested magnetic anomaly beneath its Coogee gold-copper resource in Western Australia. No assay results have been reported, but the drilling could clarify whether shallow mineralisation is linked to a larger intrusive system at depth.

Tali Resources ended its first full year as an ASX-listed explorer with A$5.19 million in cash, a larger West Arunta exploration program and a A$1.48 million loss. The annual report also records a A$516,170 impairment after early drilling returned only moderately anomalous results, keeping the company firmly in the high-risk pre-discovery phase.

TechGen Metals has wrapped up diamond drilling at its Blue Devil Project in East Kimberley, intersecting pyrite-rich sedimentary rocks and quartz-carbonate-pyrite zones that hint at an intrusive-related gold system. Initial assay results are due next month, potentially setting the stage for further exploration.

Javelin Minerals has launched a significant diamond drilling campaign targeting two major deep gold-copper anomalies at its Coogee Project in WA, supported by WA Government funding.

Lachlan Star’s latest 1-metre PhotonAssay results at New Waverley validate broad high-grade gold zones and push mineralisation deeper, underpinning a growing structural model and fresh exploration targets.

TechGen Metals has started drilling at its Blue Devil copper-gold target in East Kimberley, WA, backed by government co-funding. Meanwhile, drilling at the Red Devil target completed with pyrite but no copper mineralisation observed.
