Latest Gold Exploration News

PLC Resources has started an approximately 2,400-metre RC drilling program at Rochefort, testing whether early gold anomalism marks the edge of a larger system. The eight-hole campaign is expected to produce first assays in four to six weeks, but the company cautions that its larger-system interpretation remains conceptual.

Rox Resources has reported multiple high-grade underground gold intercepts at Youanmi’s United North area, including 10.30m at 12.46g/t. Ore drives on two levels have also extended about 125m beyond the existing DFS mine plan, with production stoping preparations now underway.

Gorilla Gold Mines has lifted its reported Mineral Resource to approximately 2.0Moz of gold after a year of intensive Western Australian drilling. The gain comes with strong exploration momentum, but the company remains pre-revenue and expects to seek further funding.

North Stawell Minerals has used a conference presentation to position Darlington and Darlington West as its leading tests of the Stawell gold model, while outlining a broader Victorian exploration pipeline. The company stresses that the drilling results and resource figures presented have been previously reported, making follow-up work rather than a fresh discovery the key investor question.

CGN Resources has intersected gold at three of four targets in its maiden Christmas Well RC program, with Rocky Mountain Oyster returning the strongest result in fresh rock. The early-stage campaign supports follow-up drilling, but does not yet establish a mineral resource or confirm true widths.

Voltaic Strategic Resources has identified malachite-rich copper mineralisation across an approximately 100-metre area at its El Dinero prospect in Western Australia. Preliminary pXRF readings reached an average 8.31% copper in one selected sample, although laboratory assays are needed before the results can be treated as representative.

BPM Minerals has secured the final approvals for a maiden approximately 10,000-metre RC drilling campaign at its untested Bonnie and Clyde prospect in Western Australia. Drilling is expected to begin within 5-10 days, putting a more than 6-kilometre gold-in-soil anomaly to its first meaningful test.

Duketon Mining will begin searching for a new executive after Managing Director and CEO Stuart Fogarty transitions to a Non-Executive Director role on 30 October 2026. The company says exploration will continue without material disruption, while Fogarty remains involved at Board level.

Antares Metals has secured $2.57 million to fund maiden drilling at its Quinns project and continued exploration across Queensland and Western Australia. The raise comes with substantial potential dilution, with more than half the shares and all attaching options still requiring shareholder approval.

Odyssey Gold has identified a previously unmodelled high-grade gold structure west of its Cable deposit, with drilling also strengthening the emerging Argos lode. The results could expand the Tuckanarra resource envelope, although continuity and scale remain to be established.

Kuniko has extended the interpreted Silica Hill mineralised system by about 100 metres, with drilling encountering a broad sulphide zone and veins up to 50 centimetres thick. The key test now shifts to laboratory assays, due in four to six weeks, ahead of a planned December 2026 resource upgrade.

Leeuwin Metals will acquire three Western Australian exploration tenements covering about 105km², including ground adjoining the Marvel Loch gold mine. The all-scrip deal requires no cash payment, but two of the licences remain applications and the exploration case is still at an early stage.
