Latest Exploration Targets News

Cauldron Energy has expanded its defined Yanrey uranium resource to 55.6 million pounds of U3O8 after a successful exploration year, while warning that further funding will be needed to continue operations. The project remains dependent on a change to Western Australia’s uranium mining policy.

North Stawell Minerals has expanded and refined its Darlington-Caledonia exploration targets, including a post-year-end intercept of 0.4 metres at 17.1 g/t gold. But the gold explorer ended FY2026 with $701,960 in cash, a deeper loss and an auditor warning that further funding is needed to sustain operations.

Resource Base Limited (ASX:RBX) reduced its FY2026 loss, but ended the year with only $140,776 in cash and an auditor warning of material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company is relying on fresh capital to advance early-stage titanium targets in South Australia.

Solara Minerals has reported a sharply wider FY2026 loss after impairing $3.14 million of exploration assets, while cash fell to $2.03 million. The early-stage explorer expanded its Bryah Basin portfolio but says further funding may be needed to continue exploration.

New Frontier Minerals advanced its copper and rare earths portfolio during FY2026, but the annual report highlights a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company ended the year with $1.23 million in cash after a $2.25 million placement and ongoing exploration spending.

Santana Minerals has moved Bendigo-Ophir from study toward construction, securing a 30-year mining permit, strategic land control and A$188.3 million in cash. The decisive hurdle remains the Fast-track consent due on 20 January 2027, followed by financing and a final investment decision.

Power Minerals has extended confirmed high-grade rare earth mineralisation at its Morro do Ferro project in Brazil, with a new hole returning 39 metres at 4.42% TREO from 80 metres downhole. Assays from shallower and deeper sections remain pending, leaving the scale and geometry of the zone unresolved.

Anson Resources has secured approval for 17 additional Utah lease blocks covering 16.02 square kilometres inside the Green River Lithium Project’s resource area of interest. The company says the expanded ground could support a larger JORC resource without further drilling, but the proposed exploration target remains conceptual and the lease is not yet signed.

Solstice Minerals has extended the Nanadie copper-gold system to at least 1.5km of strike, with deep diamond drilling returning broad mineralisation beyond the current resource boundary. The results include a 169.3m intercept at 0.87% copper and 0.29g/t gold, while more than 40 holes remain awaiting assays.

Pantoro has increased Norseman’s Mineral Resources by 2% and Ore Reserves by 9% after mining depletion, with the Mainfield delivering the clearest growth. The company also reported a $113.2 million FY2026 profit, but the next test is converting a larger geological inventory into sustained production.

Accelerate Resources will issue 55 million shares to secure 100% ownership of its 432 square kilometre Woodie Woodie North manganese project, while removing up to $2 million in future milestone payments and other vendor rights. The restructuring is due to complete before 2 October 2026, ahead of planned drilling at the Gingarrigan prospect.

New Talisman Gold Mines has outlined a conceptual exploration target of up to 550,000 ounces of gold beyond its existing 350,000-ounce gold-equivalent resource at the Talisman Project. The company now plans 18 to 20 drillholes in calendar Q1 2027 to test six priority mineralised structures.
