Latest Gold Exploration News

Aureka Limited has boosted its global JORC gold resource by 26% to 455,000 ounces, driven by a 30% increase at its flagship Irvine Gold Project in Victoria’s Stawell Corridor. The upgrade reflects enhanced geological modelling and successful diamond drilling since early 2025.

Many Peaks Minerals has reported robust diamond core assay results that extend the Ouarigue mineralised corridor at its Ferké Gold Project in Côte d’Ivoire, alongside ongoing reverse circulation drilling aimed at resource expansion.

Lodestar Minerals’ recent 12,344m drilling campaign at Ned’s Creek confirms high-grade gold continuity and reveals new mineralisation zones beyond the December 2025 Exploration Target, setting the stage for a maiden resource in 2026.

Cosmo Metals has reported encouraging initial assay results from its Kanowna Gold Project near Kalgoorlie, including a standout 2m intercept at 3.72 g/t Au at Don Alvaro. The drilling confirms extensions of mineralisation along the Kanowna Shear Zone, with further assays pending.

Platina Resources has signed a binding Share Sale Agreement to acquire Bravo Minerals, owner of the Sunrise Bore Exploration Licence, expanding its Laverton gold portfolio in a promising but underexplored corridor.

Altair Minerals (ASX: ALR) has identified a regionally extensive high-grade gold structure at North Peters and confirmed strong gold enrichment beneath surface soils at South Oko, setting the stage for imminent diamond drilling and expanded exploration in Guyana.

Golden Dragon Mining has applied for a new tenement just 1.5 km from Westgold’s Big Bell Gold Mine, extending its landholding in Western Australia’s Murchison Goldfields to about 619 km². The move boosts exposure to a prolific gold belt with multiple high-priority targets, including the drill-ready Jeffrey Well prospect.

Rokeby Resources appoints Richard Beazley as Managing Director and Tim Pallas as Chairman, signalling a strategic leadership overhaul to support the acquisition and development of the high-grade Omeo Gold Project in Victoria.

Benz Mining reports strong metallurgical test results from the Icon deposit, showing up to 95.5% gold extraction within 24 hours and potential for broader mineralised halo to contribute to mill feed.

Legend Mining has pinpointed anomalous gold mineralisation aligned with a major induced polarisation anomaly at Pyrophyllite Hill within its Pinnacle Well Project, advancing plans for drill testing pending heritage approvals.

Caprice Resources reports metallurgical testwork on its Vadrians deposit achieving up to 94% gold recovery via conventional gravity and CIL processing, supporting a low-cost extraction pathway at its Island Gold Project.

Legacy Minerals has confirmed a new gold-silver epithermal mineralised system at its Mascotte Prospect, with assays showing gold grades up to 9.7g/t Au and significant base metals. The discovery lies entirely outside the current 1.2Moz AuEq Mt Carrington resource, opening the door for resource expansion.
