Latest Heritage Surveys News

Explorers led the Materials tape as fresh drill stories and new ground deals pulled buyers into small caps. Big miners still delivered, but the loudest moves came from companies offering investors a near-term catalyst.

Auravelle Metals has completed a key heritage survey at its Crown Gold Project in Western Australia, setting the stage for targeted soil sampling and follow-up aircore drilling to refine gold exploration targets.

Taiton Resources reports no significant gold from Challenger West drilling but identifies promising geological indicators, while gearing up for a major drill campaign at the Yogi prospect targeting IOCG and rare earth elements.

Wildcat Resources has successfully intercepted spodumene in every drill hole at its Bolt Cutter Central lithium discovery in Western Australia, advancing metallurgical testing and exploration plans.

BPM Minerals has secured the key Bonnie & Clyde tenement within its Forelands Gold Project, unlocking ground exploration and a maiden drilling program. A detailed geological review highlights promising Tropicana-style gold mineralisation potential, setting the stage for a major discovery in Western Australia’s Eastern Goldfields.

Westar Resources outlines ambitious 2026 exploration plans across Western Australia and the Northern Territory, focusing on gold and base metals with new drilling and sampling programs.

Novo Resources has identified compelling polymetallic targets at its Wyloo Project in Western Australia, setting the stage for a maiden drilling campaign in Q2 2026 following a heritage survey.

A single exploration name blew the doors off the leaderboard, while two well-known uranium plays and a Nevada explorer sank hard. Behind the noise: deals got closer to completion, big raisings reset prices, and several “good news” gaps didn’t survive the week.

A single drill program in WA delivered a once-a-year spike, while several small caps fell hard after reopening with price gaps. This week also saw big money raised for gold and uranium builds, and a run of resource upgrades across critical minerals.
