Latest Exploration Results News

BPM Minerals has begun its first-ever drilling at the 6km Bonnie and Clyde gold-in-soil anomaly in Western Australia, launching a 10,000-metre campaign targeting possible Tropicana-style mineralisation. The exploration upside remains untested, with assays from Bonnie and Clyde and Beachcomber expected from late 2026 into early 2027.

Sultan Resources has applied for a 171.2km² copper-gold exploration licence in Namibia’s Central Damara Orogen, a region with established gold deposits and growing copper interest. The opportunity would add a sizeable new landholding without issuing consideration shares, although the licence remains subject to grant and has produced no company exploration results yet.

Altitude Minerals has lodged a prospectus for a non-renounceable $1.49 million entitlement offer, but warns the issue is ununderwritten and highly unlikely to be fully subscribed. The company is seeking up to $2.6 million in total funding for Nevada drilling, business development and working capital.

Forrestania Resources has reported wide, high-grade gold intersections from 15 additional reverse circulation holes at British Hill in Western Australia. A diamond rig is now being mobilised to test below current RC drilling limits as the company works towards a larger mineral resource estimate.

Alchemy Resources finished FY2026 with a sharply wider loss, lower cash and a smaller asset base, even as drilling delivered strong copper-gold results at Yellow Mountain and high-grade iron results at Valley Bore. The explorer has reshaped its portfolio, but its next phase still depends on exploration success and further funding.

Sky Metals has used FY2026 to move Tallebung from exploration toward development, combining more than 500 drill holes with strong ore-sorting results and progress into NSW’s environmental approval process. The advance came alongside a A$5.37 million loss and continuing reliance on equity funding.

Empire Resources has identified four magnetic anomalies and prioritised two for drilling at its renamed Bradley Well project in Western Australia. Historical copper intercepts provide geological clues, but the targets remain untested and drilling timing depends on rig availability.

Marquee Resources has received a $549,122 R&D tax refund, adding non-dilutive cash ahead of planned drilling at its Yindi Lithium and Gold Project in Western Australia. The filing improves near-term financial flexibility but does not disclose the company’s post-refund cash balance or drilling budget.

Omega Oil & Gas has been selected as preferred tenderer for 1,138 square kilometres of new Taroom Trough acreage, taking its operated position to 2,947 square kilometres. The award remains subject to Queensland Government processes, but would materially enlarge the company’s exploration inventory alongside Beach Energy and Tri-Star E&P.

Arrow Minerals has applied for an iron ore exploration tenement adjoining Rio Tinto's Robe Valley operations in Western Australia, a move that could expand its prospective landholding by 30% to 415 square kilometres. The application remains subject to tenure award, and no resource or economic estimate has been announced.

Pilbara Gold has reported strong initial drill results from the Terra Prospect at Roe Hills, including 46 metres at 3.17g/t gold and a narrower high-grade hit of 4 metres at 9.91g/t. The results extend evidence of a mineralised corridor at least 1.5km long, although substantial drilling and follow-up work remain.

Albright Metals will surrender its Gabanintha mineral rights to Australian Vanadium in return for $1.75 million, a 0.75% royalty and a sharper focus on its Canadian flagship. The package includes $500,000 in cash and $1.25 million of Australian Vanadium shares, although the final share count is yet to be determined.
