Ballymore Resources has extended high-grade silver-lead-zinc-indium mineralisation closer to surface at its Torpy’s discovery in North Queensland.

Argent Minerals has intersected 18.2 metres at 187.3 g/t silver beyond the current Lode 100 resource boundary at Kempfield. Further drilling also extended Lode 200 at depth and confirmed mineralisation in under-drilled areas, although the Mineral Resource has not yet been updated.
