Latest Gold Mineralisation News

Lachlan Star’s 2026 annual report puts its 90%-owned New Waverley project at the centre of the company’s exploration strategy after drilling outlined shallow, high-grade gold mineralisation across roughly 400 metres. The company ended the year with $6.52 million in cash, but remains loss-making and without a mineral resource or ore reserve.

Manhattan Gold has extended the search footprint at its Jaws target in Nunavut after a 275-metre step-out returned 21.34 metres at 1.72g/t gold. The result takes drill-tested strike to 1.25km, although the company says true widths remain unknown and the work is still exploration-stage.

Maritana Minerals has extended gold mineralisation beneath the planned Pit 4 floor at Boorara, with drilling still open at depth. The results could feed a larger resource and revised pit design, although assays, estimation and optimisation work remain ahead of a targeted mid-2027 restart.

49 Metals will begin a 3,500-metre follow-up drilling program at its Gold Mountain project in Nevada in October, targeting extensions of the Adit Zone discovery. The campaign is fully funded and follows a maiden program in which all 22 holes intersected gold and/or silver mineralisation.

Artemis Resources has repositioned around West Pilbara gold-copper exploration and the emerging Madura province, but its audited accounts warn that further funding is required to sustain planned activities. The company ended the year with $3.45 million in cash after an $8.81 million loss and a $5.23 million exploration write-off.

Golden Globe Resources has reported a $2.23 million FY2026 loss after funding its first year as an ASX-listed explorer, while Dooloo Creek drilling confirmed copper-gold mineralisation. The company ended the year with $3.55 million in cash and says its near-term plans are funded, though further capital may eventually be required.

Great Southern Mining finished FY2026 with A$4.76 million in cash after selling Southern Star to Regis Resources and raising A$4.63 million, while drilling extended gold mineralisation at several Western Australian projects. The exploration story is advancing, but the annual report also contains an apparent inconsistency in the reported annual profit that warrants clarification.

Australian Gold and Copper has reported repeated broad zinc-gold-lead intersections at northern Evergreen, including a peak interval of 26.4% zinc. A 21-hole, 2,593-metre RC program has also finished testing extensions to the prospect’s recent high-grade gold-silver discovery, with assays due from late October to early November.

Orbit Resources enters FY2027 with a 17.52Mt Lewis Ponds resource, a preliminary study pointing to a A$481 million pre-tax NPV and a new polymetallic sulphide discovery outside the existing resource. The gains come with familiar junior-miner constraints: a A$3.49 million annual loss, A$3.69 million in cash and further funding still required.

Dundas Minerals has extended interpreted gold mineralisation at Rockland to about 170 metres below surface, led by a 4-metre interval grading 4.87 g/t gold. The early results strengthen the geological case for a 1-kilometre mineralised trend, but one-metre verification assays and more drilling are still required.

Minerals Exploration has intersected broad, lower-grade gold mineralisation with higher-grade structures in four holes at Jubilee South, expanding the interpreted system toward Sovereign. The company is preparing a six-hole, 1,200-metre Sovereign program, subject to approvals, while caution remains around recovery and unproven continuity.

Marmota has expanded drilling across its Greenewood and Mainwood gold targets after intersecting geology resembling earlier favourable zones. With 313 holes now completed, the first assays are expected next week, although the announcement contains no new grades or quantified mineralisation.
