Latest Exploration Target News

Wia Gold has extended several underground targets at Kokoseb after 18,476 metres of diamond drilling returned broad and high-grade gold intercepts. The results strengthen the geological case for growth beyond the project’s maiden 0.56 million ounce underground inferred resource, although the larger exploration target remains conceptual.

Piche Resources has extended the mapped footprint of its Cerro Chacón epithermal system in Argentina, with surface rock-chip samples returning up to 10.41 g/t gold and 553.42 g/t silver. The results support continuity between La Javiela and Toro Hosco, but drilling is still needed to test grade continuity at depth.

Horizon Gold has reported its strongest Snook intercept to date, including 44 metres at 5.08g/t gold, as drilling points to deeper resource potential at Gum Creek. Results at Cobia and Alma May could also support maiden resources, although further drilling and technical work remain ahead.

Magnum Mining has added 119 assay results to its Piracanjuba North database, identifying four coherent high-desorption zones across roughly 7.19 square kilometres. The results strengthen the exploration case ahead of a targeted November resource estimate, although the desorption figures remain laboratory screening results rather than process recoveries.

Recharge Metals has completed its 100% acquisition of the Ironstone Well Gold Project, expanding its Prospero gold exploration trend near Leonora to more than 15km. The deal lands just as the company prepares to start its first 30,000m drilling campaign at the adjoining Sunset Well project.

Tennant Minerals has begun a multi-stage diamond drilling campaign targeting extensions and possible repetitions of its high-grade Bluebird copper-gold-bismuth discovery. The program tests an interpreted 1.5km structural corridor, but the Warrego-scale comparison remains an exploration target rather than an estimate of mineralisation.

Torque Metals has secured A$25 million from institutional investors to expand drilling and regional exploration at its Ritz Gold Project in Western Australia. The placement will lift pro forma cash to about A$32.7 million, but adds roughly 21% to the existing share count and leaves the company’s million-ounce ambition dependent on exploration results.

Black Cat Syndicate has reported a 9.86-metre gold intercept grading 27.38g/t at the Lynx lode, including 0.60 metres at 186.27g/t, while initial drilling 600 metres away at Raisebore supports a parallel mineralised structure. Neither target has yet been added to Paulsens’ Mineral Resource, leaving further assays and modelling to do before the scale of the discoveries can be quantified.

Southern Cross Gold has accelerated drilling and underground development at Sunday Creek, spending $32.9 million during the August quarter while cash fell to C$84.0 million. The company remains aimed at a maiden mineral resource in the first quarter of 2027, but poor ground conditions have pushed exploration decline completion back by a month.

Ramelius Resources produced 48,839 ounces in the September quarter and generated A$60.2 million in underlying free cash flow, keeping it on track for FY27 guidance. The gold miner also ended the period with A$768.0 million in cash and gold after progressing its Mt Magnet expansion, Rebecca-Roe approvals and share buyback.

Corazon Mining has returned broad gold intercepts from the first two holes of its Chalice drilling campaign, including 4 metres at 9.93 g/t gold. The results offer an early test of extensions south of the historical pit, with most assays still pending.

Southern Cross Gold’s latest infill drilling at Sunday Creek has delivered some of its strongest composite intersections, including 2.7 metres at 178.4 g/t gold and 6.8 metres at 49.8 g/t gold. The tighter drilling also extended Golden Dyke west towards Christina and uncovered four vein sets outside the current Exploration Target.
