Latest Gold Prospectivity News

Minerals Exploration has shifted decisively into New Zealand gold and tungsten, but its annual report flags a $2.66 million loss and a material uncertainty over its ability to continue without further funding. Exploration results are encouraging, though the company has yet to establish a mineral resource or economic discovery.

Legend Mining is preparing to test its Pyrophyllite Hill gold prospect with a 50-hole aircore program after completing heritage surveys. The explorer ended September with $9.24 million in cash, although the reported 19.5-quarter funding estimate is based on a relatively modest quarter of spending.

Antares Metals has agreed to earn a 90% interest in the historic Enterprise gold mine in Western Australia, adding a fourth priority target to its Quinns project. The company has expanded its air core program to 2,500 metres, but the transaction remains subject to expenditure, approvals and historical-data caveats.

Gateway Mining has reported a year of aggressive expansion across Western Australia, led by new gold discoveries at Yandal and a sharp increase in exploration spending. The company remains loss-making and pre-revenue, but entered the new financial year with a larger funding base after a further $45 million placement.

New Murchison Gold has reported high-grade drilling across three Lydia deposits near its Crown Prince operation, led by a 1m interval at 47.20g/t gold. The results define shallow mineralised zones, but remain outside the current Lydia resource and still require further drilling and modelling.

Juno Minerals has completed the sale of its Mount Mason project for A$6 million plus a 2% production royalty, but the buyer has pushed development into 2027. The company is now concentrating on finding a partner for its large, capital-intensive Mount Ida magnetite project.

Lunnon Metals has delivered thick, consistent gold intersections at the Plentiful prospect, where drilling now sits at approximately 20m by 20m spacing. The company is moving towards modelling and economic assessment, although a separate deep-drilling target failed to deliver enough encouragement for further work.

Nimy Resources has paired a maiden gallium resource and encouraging metallurgical recoveries with a sharp warning about funding pressure and an unresolved Lind legal dispute. The explorer ended FY2026 with $3.92 million in cash, but a $4.76 million Lind liability and an auditor-flagged going-concern uncertainty remain central risks.

Lodestar Minerals has received all assays from a 12,417-metre, 106-hole RC drilling program at Ned’s Creek, supporting its existing exploration target across three gold prospects. A maiden Mineral Resource Estimate is now expected in the second half of October, although reported widths remain subject to geological interpretation and true-width confirmation.

Famien Resources has used the year to pivot decisively from Australian exploration towards a 3,700km² gold portfolio in Côte d’Ivoire, backed by A$15.2 million in placements and A$13.1 million in cash. Early drilling has produced several high-grade intercepts, but the company remains loss-making and has yet to declare a mineral resource.

Galileo Mining advanced several PGM, nickel, copper and gold targets at Norseman during FY2026, but a A$4.55 million exploration impairment pushed its annual loss to A$4.67 million. The company ended the year with A$7.48 million in cash and a growing drilling pipeline for Mission Sill and Callisto South.

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.
