DY6 Metals has launched a 91-hole auger drilling campaign at its Central Rutile Project in Cameroon, aiming to fast-track resource definition following promising surface rutile grades.

Osmond Resources has completed geological logging of its first drill hole at the Orión EU Critical Minerals Project, identifying seven promising mineral layers. A second drill rig is now operational to further test the continuity of these layers.

Fortuna Metals has launched phase one hand auger drilling at its Mkanda and Kampini projects in Malawi, targeting significant rutile mineralisation near Sovereign Metals’ giant Kasiya deposit. Early assay results are expected by late 2025, with a larger phase two program planned.

McLaren Minerals has reported exceptional high-grade assay results from its 2025 Phase 1 drilling program, revealing new mineralised sequences and underpinning a significant resource upgrade at its McLaren Titanium Project in Western Australia.

Chilwa Minerals has completed soil sampling over 47 rare earth and niobium anomalies in Malawi, confirming key pathfinder elements and prioritizing targets for ongoing diamond drilling. The results highlight significant potential for both heavy and light rare earth elements within the company’s extensive license area.

MRG Metals has kicked off exploration at its Adriano rare earth licence in Mozambique, aiming to unlock district-scale potential alongside the adjacent Fotinho licence. Early sampling results show promising grades, setting the stage for a significant discovery.

Fortuna Metals has identified significant historical titanium mineralisation across its Mkanda and Kampini projects in Malawi, with Phase 1 drilling complete and assay results expected soon. Positioned near Sovereign Metals’ world-class Kasiya deposit, Fortuna’s exploration could unlock a major rutile discovery.

Osmond Resources has successfully intersected a highly prospective mineralized layer in its first drill hole at the Orión EU Critical Minerals Project, advancing its critical minerals exploration in Spain. Assay results are expected by the end of October, with further drilling underway.

S2 Resources has commenced a two-month drilling campaign at its Warraweena project in northern NSW, targeting six geophysical anomalies with potential for multiple valuable mineral deposits. A follow-up gravity survey is advancing to refine these targets further.

McLaren Minerals has confirmed significant high-grade heavy mineral sands extending 500 metres south of its current Indicated Resource at the McLaren Titanium Project, reinforcing the deposit's growth potential and strategic value.

Buxton Resources has reported compelling partial leach assay results from its Centurion Project drillhole CN002DD, revealing high silver concentrations alongside elevated base metals, suggesting promising nearby mineralisation.

Petratherm’s Phase 3 drilling at the Muckanippie Project reveals a significant extension of high-grade titanium mineralisation at Rosewood and discovers a new heavy mineral sands zone at Echo.
