Argent Minerals has pushed silver mineralisation beyond the current Kempfield Lode 100 resource boundary with a broad 91.2m intercept from near surface, highlighting significant potential for resource growth and mine development optionality.

Argent Minerals has pushed the boundaries of its Kempfield polymetallic deposit with a 159m intercept averaging 80.6 g/t silver equivalent, confirming the project's bulk-tonnage potential and resource continuity.

Rimfire Pacific Mining has boosted its Murga Scandium Deposit resource by 300% to 56.1Mt at 138ppm Sc, expanding its global scandium inventory to 10.6Kt Sc. The company also secured full ownership of the Rabbit Trap Scandium Project and confirmed historic gold-antimony mineralisation at Broken Hill.

Aruma Resources has completed its acquisition of the high-grade Tillex Copper Project in Ontario and kicked off a maiden diamond drilling campaign following an EM survey that extended the known mineralised footprint. Meanwhile, exploration at Wilan and Saltwater projects confirms promising mineral assemblages and expanded gold-polymetallic anomalies.

Silver Mines Limited is progressing its Bowdens Silver Project development application with updated ecological surveys, while exploration intensifies at the Rockwell Prospect and Californian assets, supported by a solid cash position.

Australian Gold and Copper has launched a diamond drilling program at its Achilles deposit aiming to extend high-grade mineralisation to over 550 metres, potentially doubling the current resource depth. Recent assays reveal thick silver-equivalent intervals and a new mineralised horizon, underpinning resource growth ambitions.

Sky Metals has bolstered its cash reserves with a $20.5 million raise, backing a major drilling push at Tallebung and expanding exploration at Doradilla, positioning both projects for significant resource growth and development progress.

Octava Minerals has delivered its first drilling results in nearly 50 years at the Federation Project in Tasmania, revealing significant copper, indium, tin, antimony, lead, and zinc mineralisation across multiple styles.

Arrow Minerals secures $2.25 million to fund the acquisition of an 80% stake in the Yarraloola Copper Project and plans a 2,000m drilling campaign targeting copper and gold in WA’s Pilbara.

Kingfisher Mining has confirmed high-grade copper-gold mineralisation at Copper Blow, secured a processing deal with Broken Hill Mines, and completed its Gascoyne REE divestment, sharpening its NSW focus.

Patriot Resources has dramatically expanded the Exploration Target at its Tassa Silver & Gold Project in Peru to between 559Moz and 774Moz silver equivalent, positioning it among the world’s largest undeveloped silver systems. A 4,000m drilling campaign is planned to convert this target into a formal Mineral Resource.

Rimfire Pacific Mining has confirmed significant gold and antimony mineralisation at its Windy Ridge prospect through resampling of diamond drill core dating back 40-50 years. The findings highlight a 600-metre mineralised corridor open at depth and near surface within the Broken Hill Base Metal Project.
