Latest Exploration News

IRIS Metals has signed a binding agreement to farm-in exclusively to the Finley Basin Tungsten Project in Montana, expanding its critical minerals portfolio and cancelling a planned capital raise. Exploration is set to begin in early 2026 with resource estimation targeted for 2027.

Solstice Minerals reports steady progress in expanding its Nanadie copper-gold resource and promising gold intercepts at Yarri, backed by a strong cash position to fuel 2026 exploration.

Perpetual Resources has confirmed a significant lithium-caesium-tantalum pegmatite discovery at its Renaldinho Project in Brazil, with rock samples grading up to 2.56% lithium oxide. This early-stage find positions Renaldinho as a key focus for upcoming drilling campaigns.

Mount Ridley Mines has locked in nearly $1.8 million through a fully underwritten exercise of expiring unlisted options, ensuring financial backing for its Mount Ridley Project exploration and metallurgical programs.

Pursuit Minerals has identified promising gold and silver targets at its Sascha Marcelina project in Argentina, planning a 4,050-metre drilling campaign to test these high-potential zones. The project’s geological similarities to the world-class Cerro Negro system bolster hopes for a significant discovery.

Boss Energy has withdrawn its 2021 Enhanced Feasibility Study for the Honeymoon uranium project due to significant deviations in resource assumptions, launching a new study focused on a wide-spaced wellfield design that could lower costs and improve recoverability.

Golden Horse Minerals has unveiled compelling 2025 drilling results at its Hopes Hill project, confirming a large-scale gold mineralised system with multiple high-grade intercepts over a 2.5km strike length. The company plans to resume drilling in early 2026 to further delineate this promising resource.

Austral Resources has defined multiple high-grade copper-gold exploration targets near its Rocklands processing facility, setting the stage for a sequenced, low-capex growth strategy with drilling planned from late 2026.

Caprice Resources has completed the acquisition of the Comet Exploration Project, significantly expanding its Island Gold Project footprint in Western Australia's Murchison Goldfields. This strategic move triples the company's contiguous landholding along a proven gold corridor, setting the stage for accelerated exploration.

Savannah Goldfields has confirmed significant gold mineralisation at its Red Dam Prospect with new diamond drilling results, highlighting a standout intercept of 2.6m at 34.80 g/t Au. This exploration update reinforces the potential of the Georgetown Gold Project as metallurgical testwork and further drilling are set to follow.

Lodestar Minerals has defined its first Exploration Target at the Neds Creek Gold Project in Western Australia, estimating up to 300,000 ounces of gold within an open-pit framework. The company plans a significant drilling campaign in early 2026 to validate and potentially upgrade this target to a JORC-compliant Mineral Resource.

VBX Limited has reported promising assay results from 65 drill holes at the Wuudagu D plateau, revealing a thicker and higher-grade bauxite profile than previously recorded. This discovery lies outside the current resource estimate, signaling potential for significant resource expansion.
