Latest Exploration Target News

Broken Hill Mines has lifted quarterly ore processing to its highest level since 2020 and silver production to a record 102,922 ounces. The result comes as the restarted Pinnacles mine reaches its first clean high-grade bench, opening a path toward greater use of the Rasp plant.

OD6 Metals has reported surface channel samples of up to 24 metres at 51.1% CaF₂ and rock-chip grades reaching 98.4% at Blue Bell in Nevada. The first-pass results elevate Blue Bell to Quinn’s fourth priority target, although drilling is still needed to establish scale, continuity and true widths.

Discovery Alaska has secured commitments for a A$900,000 placement and says Boulder Creek is ready for drilling, but its reported cash balance covers only about 2.07 quarters at the latest spending rate. The company is also progressing its proposed Cuddingwarra acquisition, with several key steps still requiring approval or completion.

BOA Resources has extended the interpreted copper mineralised trend at Rooneys beyond 500 metres, with shallow high-grade intersections supporting a larger follow-up drilling campaign. The results add another exploration thread to the company’s expanding Neds Creek project, although continuity and true widths remain untested.

Alara Resources’ independently audited reserve statement supports about eight more years of production at its Oman copper mine, with 7.70 million tonnes classified as Probable Ore Reserves. The update also reveals the limits of the mine plan: the licence expires before the scheduled mine life ends, while several technical studies remain unfinished.

Power Minerals has reported 91 metres at 7.7% TREO from surface in a new Morro do Ferro drillhole, including 23.1 metres at 17.5% TREO. The result strengthens the case for continuity ahead of a maiden resource estimate, while a separate non-binding Salta lithium venture has been terminated.

Aureka has extended the known Irvine gold system 725 metres north with two significant gold zones from its first scout hole into a previously untested conceptual target. The results support further drilling, but remain exploration intercepts rather than a new mineral resource.

Azzuro Resources will raise A$3.06 million from Kerry Resources Logistics at a premium to market, giving the Mongolian explorer funding for resource definition and technical studies. The deal would make Kerry a 19.9% shareholder, although completion is still expected on 19 October.

White Cliff Minerals has identified copper sulphides on a previously untested parallel structure mapped over 2.8km at its Rae Copper Project. Sulphides also appeared in all three northeast infill holes, but laboratory assays remain six to eight weeks away.

Sunstone Metals has expanded the Bramaderos gold-copper Mineral Resource Estimate by 72% to 6.2 million ounces of gold equivalent, with Indicated Resources rising 450% to 3.3Moz. The upgrade strengthens the basis for future mine studies, but remains an exploration-stage estimate with metallurgical and funding questions still to resolve.

Ore Resources has added 408.87 square kilometres to its Kal East gold footprint in Western Australia, but all 18 new tenements remain pending. The company plans to begin 3,000-5,000 metres of aircore drilling at Mt Monger in November, subject to heritage clearances.

Minerals 260 says 320 grade-control holes at Bullabulling have delivered results consistent with its 6.2Moz resource model, while infill drilling returned standout grades at Phoenix and Bacchus. The next test is whether these higher-grade zones prove continuous enough to influence mine planning and the definitive feasibility study.
