Latest Lead And Zinc News

Broken Hill Mines (ASX: BHM) has resumed mining at its Pinnacles Silver-Lead-Zinc Mine, marking its first operations since 2021 and aiming to ramp up production through multiple ore feeds to the Rasp processing plant.

Ballymore Resources has kicked off a detailed gravity survey across a 32km corridor at its Ruddygore Project, aiming to refine targets for silver-lead-zinc and skarn-porphyry deposits. Funded by $383,000 in Queensland government grants, the survey complements ongoing high-grade drilling at Torpy's.

Australian Gold and Copper Ltd (ASX:AGC) has intersected a 6.5m semi-massive chalcopyrite zone at its Evergreen project, marking its broadest copper interval to date in the South Cobar Basin. The company aims to deliver an initial resource estimate for Evergreen by July while continuing to extend its 38.5Moz silver-equivalent Achilles deposit.

Clean TeQ Water has won a significant Design and Construct contract to deploy its proprietary ATA® tailings dewatering technology at Broken Hill Mines’ Rasp Mine, enabling a key production ramp-up and promising both near-term and long-term revenue streams.

Ballymore Resources has restarted a 3,000-metre drilling program at its Torpy’s silver-lead-zinc-indium discovery in north Queensland, following a wet season pause. Early drilling results confirm multiple high-grade mineralised shoots and broad shallow zones, pointing to a potentially large mineralised system.

Middle Island Resources has significantly extended the polymetallic soil anomaly at its Bobija Project in Serbia, uncovering a major silver-lead-zinc-antimony system consistent with a carbonate replacement deposit. High-grade assays and visible stibnite mineralisation highlight the project's growing potential near an operating mine.

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.
