Latest Jorc Resources News

Barton Gold has completed its 38,760-metre Phase 2 drilling program at Tunkillia with a series of broad, high-grade gold intersections across planned starter pits. The results now feed into an updated gold Resource, followed by a silver update and pre-feasibility study targeted for the first quarter of 2027.

Cauldron Energy has completed a 10,506-metre Yanrey drilling campaign that extended mineralisation at Manyingee South and Manyingee North, including a link towards Paladin’s neighbouring Manyingee deposit. The ASX-listed uranium explorer now plans to fold the results into a JORC resource update expected within two months, while a visit from Uzbekistan’s Navoiyuran adds a separate potential development thread.

OD6 Metals has secured A$6.92 million from institutional and sophisticated investors to advance drilling, bulk sampling and resource definition at its Quinn Fluorspar Project in Nevada. The funding also sets up a proposed rebrand to Adaven, but brings dilution and a substantial package of shareholder approvals.

Alma Metals is pushing the Briggs Copper Project through a substantial drilling and metallurgical program, with a 2027 resource update planned to support a prefeasibility study. The project’s 932Mt resource contains about 2Mt of copper, but the company still faces the usual funding, technical and development hurdles of a large undeveloped mine.

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.

Antimony Resources has moved closer to first production in Mexico, but its FY2026 annual report carries a material going-concern warning after a A$7.0 million loss and sharply reduced cash reserves. The company now faces the harder test of turning its Tecomatlán plant and Los Lirios project into cash-generating operations.

Aurora Energy Metals (ASX:1AE) swung to a $21.8 million profit after selling its Oregon uranium project, but the result was driven largely by a non-cash accounting gain. The company’s concentrated Eagle Nuclear Energy stake was valued at about $15.5 million by the annual report date, down from $23.9 million at 30 June.

Viking Mines has repositioned itself around Nevada tungsten, with Linka producing a 56.9% WO₃ concentrate at 76.0% recovery and gaining approval for a 63-hole maiden drilling programme. The opportunity is advancing, but the company remains loss-making, has no JORC resource at Linka and will need further funding as work accelerates.

Cooper Metals finished FY2026 with a $611,935 loss and $1.81 million in cash, while its post-year-end Pyramid Gold acquisition reshaped the exploration portfolio. The deal brought AIC Mines in as the company’s largest shareholder, but a larger pool of options and performance rights also raises the importance of future funding and exploration results.

West Coast Silver has crossed from explorer to resource-stage company after defining 2.795 million ounces of contained silver at Elizabeth Hill. The project has generated strong drilling results and fresh funding, but the company remains loss-making and yet to establish an economic development case.

Taruga Minerals has transformed its exploration strategy around two Papua New Guinea projects, but the next phase comes with a clear funding constraint. The ASX-listed explorer ended FY2026 with A$1.84 million in cash, a A$3.77 million loss and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

Cobre Limited (ASX:CBE) says its Sierra Atacama turnaround delivered a first cash-positive quarter, higher recovery and 879 tonnes of copper cathode production. The company remains loss-making at group level, but enters FY27 with more cash, a larger project stake and an ambitious drilling and expansion programme.
