Siren Gold continues its push to upgrade the Sams Creek gold resource with ongoing drilling and a mining permit application nearing decision. Meanwhile, exploration at Queen Charlotte reveals extensive high-grade gold and antimony mineralisation, underpinning the company’s strategic growth in New Zealand’s critical minerals sector.

Mount Hope Mining (ASX:MHM) has completed Phases 1 and 2 drilling at its Mt Solitary gold project in NSW’s Cobar Basin, delivering high-grade intercepts including visible gold up to 52.5 g/t and defining an exploration target of 1.3-1.9 million tonnes at 1.0-1.35 g/t Au.

Black Horse Mining has delivered compelling early assay results from its maiden drilling program at Mt Egerton, confirming near-surface, high-grade gold mineralisation and setting the stage for deeper exploration.

EV Resources confirms gold grades up to 3.88 g/t at its Dollar Project, reinforcing its polymetallic potential alongside strong antimony, copper, and silver mineralisation. Soil sampling at Dollar and Milton wraps up, setting the stage for maiden Nevada drilling amid critical minerals supply concerns.

Barton Gold has reported significant high-grade gold assays up to 60g/t from recent drilling at its Challenger West open pit, reinforcing prospects for a low-risk restart of its Central Gawler Mill operations. The results form part of an 8,065m drilling program supporting an ongoing Definitive Feasibility Study targeting near-surface feed.

Southern Cross Gold (ASX:SX2) reports exceptional drill results from its Golden Dyke prospect, with grades up to 254 g/t gold and significant antimony content, pushing deposit boundaries and confirming geological continuity at Sunday Creek.

Altitude Minerals confirms high-priority drill targets and secures permits for a 2,600m reverse circulation program at its 100% owned Firenze silver-gold epithermal project in Nevada, targeting a promising 1.2km structural corridor.

Encounter Resources has boosted its Aileron project’s inferred niobium resource by 54%, lifting the total to 120 million tonnes at 0.77% Nb2O5. The 2025 drilling campaign notably grew the Green deposit’s contained niobium by 83%, underpinning plans for a potential long-life mining operation in Western Australia’s West Arunta region.

Brazilian Critical Minerals (ASX: BCM) has boosted the indicated mineral resource at its Ema rare earth project by 58%, now totalling 1.07 billion tonnes at 732 ppm TREO. This positions Ema as one of the world’s largest ionic clay rare earth deposits and the only ISR-ready project in the western world.

Star Minerals has delivered promising new assay results from extensional drilling at its Tumblegum South Gold Project, revealing shallow, high-grade gold mineralisation beyond the current pit design. The findings underpin plans to update the resource and mine plan, reinforcing the project’s robust economics amid strong gold prices.

Orange Minerals has confirmed a significant deep extension of volcanic massive sulphide mineralisation at its Lennon’s Find Project in the Pilbara, uncovering multiple new conductive targets for follow-up drilling.

Tanami Gold's Central Tanami Project Joint Venture has chosen Macmahon as preferred contractor for a $38 million underground exploration decline at Groundrush, aiming to kick off construction in September 2026.
