Encounter Resources has achieved strong metallurgical recoveries of 51-53% niobium and up to 57% Nb2O5 concentrate grade from the Green deposit at its Aileron Project, validating conventional processing methods and supporting multi-decade mining potential.

Haranga Resources has wrapped up its underground drilling at the Lincoln Gold Project, delivering standout high-grade assays and setting the stage for a maiden JORC Mineral Resource Estimate next week.

Kincora Copper has accelerated exploration across its Australian and Mongolian assets, leveraging new AI and quantum technology partnerships alongside partner-funded drilling, while reporting a modest net income and a strong cash position in Q1 2026.

Mammoth Minerals delivers multiple high-grade gold, silver, and critical minerals assays at Blue Dick while progressing a maiden resource estimate at the adjacent Buster Gold Trend in Nevada.

Sunstone Metals has reported significant new drill results at its Bramaderos project in Ecuador, with wide gold-copper mineralised zones extending beyond the current 3.6Moz resource. The ongoing drill program is set to upgrade a large exploration target, reinforcing the project's growth potential ahead of a resource update later this year.

Enegex Limited has kicked off a 3,000-3,500m RC drilling campaign at its Gogo Project in Côte d’Ivoire, targeting three key zones along the Bonoubana trend. Encouraging aircore results from the AW1 and Kalama Bave prospects on the Tougbe Permit highlight multiple mineralised zones with notable gold intercepts.

Minerals 260 has significantly expanded its Bullabulling Gold Project footprint by acquiring joint venture interests over 350km2 of highly prospective tenements adjacent to its existing holdings, boosting the total project area to 1,160km2. This $7 million deal consolidates key exploration ground and adds new targets near established deposits.
