Latest Gold Exploration News

Evergold Minerals has reported a sharply smaller FY2026 loss and a stronger cash position after completing its shift from lithium to gold exploration. The company now has $4.0 million in cash and $4.8 million invested in Western Australian exploration assets, but remains dependent on drilling success and future funding.

Skylark Minerals has pushed its Côte d’Ivoire gold strategy forward, with M’Basso now extending across about 2km of strike. But the annual report also highlights a material uncertainty over funding, after the company ended the year with A$4.85 million in cash and a A$3.01 million loss.

Empire Resources has identified four magnetic anomalies and prioritised two for drilling at its renamed Bradley Well project in Western Australia. Historical copper intercepts provide geological clues, but the targets remain untested and drilling timing depends on rig availability.

Flynn Gold has been suspended from trading while it prepares to announce a capital raising, leaving investors without details on the size, pricing or potential dilution. The company expects normal trading to resume by 18 September 2026, unless the announcement is released sooner.

CZR Resources has expanded its exploration case at Croydon, with shallow gold at Frank’s Patch and Baskerville complemented by deeper mineralisation at Top Camp. The company has also lodged a mining lease application for its Buddadoo vanadium-titanium-magnetite project.

Altair Minerals has secured an exclusive option over eight permits adjoining its South Oko project in Guyana, adding 29km2 and lifting exposure to the Oko Shear Contact to about 18km of strike. The deal expands exploration optionality, but ownership remains subject to due diligence, staged payments and a future exercise decision.

Mt Malcolm Mines has identified four copper-gold exploration targets across its Malcolm Project, led by selective Braiser rock chips grading up to 1.37% copper. The broader target inventory is promising but remains early-stage, with no new drilling completed and most geochemical signals still awaiting laboratory verification.

Elk Range Mining has logged seven visible native-gold observations in its maiden drill hole at the Friday Gold Project in Idaho. The result offers fresh structural information, but assays remain the decisive test and are not expected until late October or early November.

Corazon Mining has begun a 50-hole, approximately 7,500-metre RC drilling program at its Chalice Gold Project in Western Australia. The campaign will test near-surface extensions to the existing 191,000-ounce resource, while the company cautions that its larger 830,000-ounce Exploration Target remains conceptual.

Estrella Resources has expanded its Timor-Leste exploration footprint by 100km2 while securing conditional approval to export a 100-tonne manganese sample to an Indonesian customer. The company is also preparing 3,000 metres of drilling and a possible upgrade to part of its 621Mt Werumata limestone resource.

Miramar Resources has secured A$1.25 million to fund drilling and early development work at its 80%-owned Gidji JV Gold Project near Kalgoorlie. The raise will target resource growth at Marylebone and Highway while testing deeper bedrock prospects at Marylebone and Lake.

Unity Metals has identified multiple new gold-anomalous zones across 1,063 metres of trenching at its Ngot and O’Phlay projects in Cambodia. The work also showed that drilling at Ngot NE was poorly oriented to intersect the interpreted mineralisation, setting up a revised drilling campaign.
