Latest Geological Mapping News

Energy Transition Minerals (ASX: ETM) has identified ten new rare earth mineralised zones at Kvanefjeld, including a significant 1.8km trend with uranium levels below Greenland’s legal threshold, but faces regulatory uncertainty as licence renewal is recommended for denial.

MRG Metals has reported strong initial assay results from 32 auger holes at its Fotinho Rare Earth Project in Mozambique, confirming a significant alluvial heavy mineral presence that complements prior findings at the adjacent Adriano project.

West Cobar Metals (ASX: WC1) has struck a deal to acquire the Baxter Fluorspar Project in Nevada, a site with a rich history of premium acid-grade fluorspar production. Backed by a $1.05 million placement, the acquisition positions WC1 within a critical US supply chain for fluorspar, a mineral vital for semiconductor and defence industries.

Critical Resources has identified 14 pegmatite bodies, including six new ones, at its Mavis Lake Lithium Project, setting the stage for targeted drilling in 2026 as part of its multi-deposit lithium district strategy.

Strata Minerals has validated a significant gold mineralised system along a 9.5km corridor at its Zelica South Project in Western Australia, with rock chip samples hitting up to 11.78 g/t Au and silver anomalies supporting a fertile hydrothermal system.

Riversgold’s farm-in partner AIS Resources reports standout rock chip assays from the Saint John Project in New Brunswick, with multiple samples exceeding upper detection limits for copper, gold, silver, and antimony. These results underpin plans for systematic exploration and drilling.

Stelar Metals has wrapped up its initial fieldwork at the Hill of Leaders Tungsten Project, setting the stage for drilling campaigns later this year and marking a significant step in exploring a largely untouched mineralised system in the Northern Territory.

Pacific Resources has reported promising gold assay results from channel sampling at its Sulphide Creek project in Tasmania, highlighting structurally controlled mineralisation with peak grades exceeding 2 g/t Au and strong pathfinder element correlations.

Red Mountain Mining has confirmed outcropping garnet skarn at its Pioneer Tungsten Project in Montana, with magnetic modelling revealing promising subsurface granodiorite bodies. Assay results are due soon, setting the stage for potential drill testing.

Arika Resources has completed its acquisition of 100% ownership of the Yundamindra and Kookynie gold projects, consolidating control over key assets in Western Australia’s Eastern Goldfields and setting the stage for accelerated exploration.

Lightning Minerals has revealed exceptional tungsten assay results from its Warby Project in North Queensland, confirming widespread high-grade mineralisation across multiple vein systems within a 2km corridor.

Locksley Resources’ maiden diamond drilling at El Campo reveals significant NdPr-enriched rare earth mineralisation akin to Mountain Pass, while Desert Antimony Mine drilling extends high-grade stibnite zones beneath historic workings.
