Latest Heritage Clearance News

Mamba Exploration has secured a $6.0 million placement, attracted a $500,000 investment from New Murchison Gold and added former Westgold founder Peter Cook as a strategic adviser. The funding will support drilling at Meeka East and a staged earn-in over the early-stage Poison Hills project, where selective rock chips returned high silver, gold, copper and lead grades.

Terra Metals has reported its largest continuous high-grade reef yet at the Southwest PGM-copper-nickel discovery, with a 336.9-metre intercept among new assay results. Heritage access is now cleared across the drilling footprint, while more than 40,000 assays remain pending ahead of a maiden resource estimate planned for Q1 2027.

Indiana Resources has finished FY2026 with A$30.1 million in cash and term deposits, promising exploration results in South Australia and an unresolved dispute over 18% of its Tanzania settlement proceeds. The company is also preparing for Managing Director and CEO Matthew Bowles to leave in November.

Heavy Rare Earths has identified high-grade heavy rare earth zones at Subron while preparing drilling across its South Australian portfolio. But the FY2026 report also highlights a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, with only $459,327 in cash at year-end.

Accelerate Resources enters FY2027 with high-grade manganese targets at Woodie Woodie North and new gold zones at Balagundi, but a sharp annual loss and ongoing funding needs remain part of the story. The company plans maiden and follow-up drilling while seeking shareholder approval to rename itself Mango Metals.

Tarrina Resources has identified five kilometre-scale IOCG target zones at Walparuta after soil sampling returned copper values up to 2,891 ppm and gold up to 466 ppb. The planned 23-hole drill campaign remains subject to native title, heritage, land access and government approvals.

Avenira has pushed its first Wonarah phosphate shipment target into the first half of 2027, while its auditor warned that funding remains critical to the company’s survival. The annual report records project progress, but also a $3.34 million loss, $759,415 in year-end cash and a proposed $49 million rights issue.

E79 Gold has secured the final tenement at its 67 square kilometre Cue Gold Project in Western Australia, clearing the stated tenure hurdle ahead of a planned drilling campaign. More than 12,000 metres of aircore and reverse circulation drilling is scheduled to begin in early November, subject to heritage clearance.

Basin Energy has more than doubled the mineralised footprint of its Newmans rare earth discovery to 6.7km, with follow-up drilling also producing the strongest magnet rare earth interval reported so far. The early-stage results set up a busy fourth quarter of leach testing and further drilling, although no resource or recovery result has yet been established.

Renascor Resources has identified multiple high-priority conductive targets at its Flat Hill project in South Australia, including features near historical copper intersections and previously untested areas. Drilling is being planned at depths of about 150 to 300 metres, but access and Native Title arrangements remain outstanding.

PTR Minerals has identified water-bearing aquifers at all three paleochannel targets tested at its Rosewood Titanium Project, addressing a key requirement for its proposed gravity-based processing operation. The company has also cleared access for infill drilling and broader exploration in South Australia.

PTR Minerals has confirmed water-bearing aquifers at all three palaeochannel targets tested near its Rosewood Titanium Project, supporting the proposed gravity-based processing route. The result improves the project’s water supply outlook, but yield, quality and long-term sustainability still require testing.
