Latest Gold News

Kantra Copper has intersected 70 metres at 1.18% copper and 0.24 grams per tonne gold at the Nugent lode, extending mineralisation below its existing resource model. The results arrive ahead of a 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate scheduled for late October.

Native Mineral Resources has produced 313.6oz of gross doré in its latest Blackjack smelt, with preliminary laboratory assays indicating about 157.4oz of contained gold. Mining is scheduled to resume at Mid Pit and Podosky as the company prepares for final refinery results and North Pit drilling updates.

Marmota has reported multiple high-grade gold intersections from the first assays at Mainwood, the southern extension of its Greenewood discovery in South Australia. Results from only 15 of 84 sections include 4 metres at 15 grams per tonne gold, while drilling and further assays continue.

Helix Resources is shifting its exploration focus from Arizona towards Pilbara gold after a year of acquisitions, portfolio reassessment and a narrowed annual loss. The strategy reset comes with only $83,676 in cash, a stated need for further funding and a proposed Mosquito Creek acquisition awaiting shareholder approval.

Terra Critical Minerals has expanded across tungsten, tin and uranium in three mining jurisdictions, but its FY2026 accounts put the funding challenge front and centre. The ASX-listed explorer ended the year with $336,585 in cash and an auditor-flagged material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

Xpedra Resources has made Springfield the centrepiece of a sharp shift into New South Wales gold exploration, with drilling outlining broad mineralisation across 400 metres of strike and to at least 150 metres down-dip. The results came alongside a $7.53 million annual loss, $3.09 million in cash and a fresh 44 million-share acquisition of the Neeld Gold Project.

Patriot Resources has established a 31.4 million-ounce silver-equivalent inferred resource at its Tassa project in Peru, but the company's annual report warns that further capital raising is required to sustain operations. The explorer recorded a $4.82 million loss and remains dependent on final drilling approvals.

Broken Hill Gold has recast itself from explorer to South Australian gold operator, producing its first doré while uncovering a deeper gold-copper sulphide system at White Dam. The transformation came with a $14.46 million FY2026 loss and continuing reliance on capital markets.

Locksley Resources has halted active field exploration across its Mojave antimony and rare earths project after antimony prices fell more than 57% from mid-2025 peaks. The strategic reset came as the company reported a widened FY26 loss of A$15.65 million and shifted attention to copper-gold assets in New South Wales.

Buxton Resources has returned to profit after selling its 49% Copper Wolf joint venture interest to IGO for A$5.91 million. The transaction lifted cash and term deposit investments to A$7.39 million, but the explorer remains dependent on capital and future discoveries rather than recurring earnings.

Tasman Resources has swung to a $16.5 million FY2026 profit after booking a $19.48 million gain when Eden Innovations ceased to be controlled. The explorer also ended the year with $5.65 million in cash and no borrowings, but its next test is geological rather than accounting: drilling at Titan West and Parkinson Dam.

Somerset Minerals reported a $2.17 million statutory profit for 2026, but the result was driven mainly by a gain on divesting its Blackdome-Elizabeth subsidiaries rather than recurring operations. The company’s Coppermine copper campaign delivered strong Jura and Talisker drilling results while its auditor warned that further funding is needed to sustain exploration.
