Taruga Minerals has identified a new northeast-trending gold-copper zone at Uaroo Ridge in Western Australia, led by a rock chip grading 1.4g/t gold and 4.3% copper. The result expands the prospect’s exploration footprint, but remains an early-stage surface sampling result with no drilling or resource estimate.

Manhattan Gold has secured commitments for an A$4.5 million placement to fund more than 4,000 metres of drilling and related exploration at its Hook Lake project in Nunavut. The full raising remains partly conditional, with A$1.14 million requiring shareholder approval in November.

Hancock Prospecting has agreed to invest A$8.77 million in White Cliff Minerals for a proposed 13.5% stake, giving the junior explorer fresh capital to accelerate drilling at its Rae Copper Project in Nunavut. The placement still requires shareholder approval.

Raptor Metals has identified two conductive systems across its Chester copper project, including the strongest off-hole response recorded near a high-grade drill intersection. The results give the company specific targets for follow-up drilling, but the conductors remain exploration targets rather than a resource estimate.

Kingfisher Mining has remade itself around a 700 square kilometre New South Wales exploration portfolio, with Copper Blow emerging as the flagship after high-grade drilling. The shift came alongside a $1.16 million FY2026 loss, $1.21 million in cash and an explicit reliance on future funding.

Evion has identified a previously unmined 200m by 200m prospect at its Carp Fluorspar Project in Nevada, just 300m from the historic South Pit. Assays are pending, with geophysical surveys and a potential maiden drilling programme next in line.

Green & Gold Minerals (ASX:GG1) is raising $3.2 million through a 1-for-2 renounceable rights issue priced at 10 cents per share to fund aggressive drilling programs targeting copper-silver-tin at Herberton and gold resource expansion at Chillagoe's Mt Wandoo.

Kaoko Metals secures $20 million from institutional investors to ramp up diamond drilling and exploration across its Namibian copper-silver and gold-copper-tungsten projects.

Tivan Limited’s latest bulk assays from Timor-Leste confirm high-grade copper and gold mineralisation, sharpening focus on the Vemasse and Scorpion prospects for drilling later this year.

Infini Resources has kicked off an extensive 5,000-meter diamond drilling campaign at its Portland Creek Uranium Project in Newfoundland, aiming to unlock a large hydrothermal uranium system revealed by recent geophysical surveys.

Noronex Limited has exercised its option to acquire Alaskan Critical Minerals, unlocking ownership of the Sleitat Tin Project in Alaska. The company secured an ASX waiver allowing milestone-based share issuance beyond the usual timeframe, tying payments to resource milestones and a decision to mine.

Corazon Mining has secured key gold rights over two tenements near its Chalice Gold Project, unlocking historic high-grade targets and extending its greenstone belt tenure to over 40 km. The acquisition dovetails with a recently defined Exploration Target, positioning Corazon for resource growth in a prolific WA gold district.
