Burley Minerals has secured A$1 million through an oversubscribed Share Purchase Plan and placement, funding maiden drilling at its Pilbara iron ore project and lithium exploration in Canada.

Critical Resources has identified 14 pegmatite bodies, including six new ones, at its Mavis Lake Lithium Project, setting the stage for targeted drilling in 2026 as part of its multi-deposit lithium district strategy.

Chariot Resources, through its U.S. subsidiary FMS Lithium Corporation, has significantly expanded its lithium tenure at the Resurgent project in the McDermitt Caldera, staking 573 new claims and nearly doubling its footprint amid improving lithium market conditions.

Burley Minerals is set to commence a heritage survey ahead of a major reverse circulation drilling campaign targeting over 290 hectares of Channel Iron Deposit at Cane Bore, aiming to define a significant inferred iron ore resource in Western Australia’s Pilbara region.

Black Bear Minerals has hit remarkable high-grade silver assays up to 1,169g/t at its Shafter Project in Texas, extending mineralisation beyond the existing 17.5Moz silver-only resource and revealing significant lead, zinc, and gold credits.

St George Mining has restructured its Lithium Star joint venture, with battery giant Amperex Technology Limited exchanging its 10% JV stake for a 12.5 million shareholding in St George at a 36% premium. This move consolidates lithium exploration under St George while giving ATL exposure to the Araxá niobium-rare earths project and offtake rights on future lithium production.

Solis Minerals has raised A$6 million in a placement strongly backed by institutional investors, including major shareholder PLS Group, to fund imminent drilling at its Brazil Lithium and Cinto Copper projects.

Patagonia Lithium's latest passive seismic survey at the Formentera Lithium Project has uncovered basement depths up to 800m, doubling previous drilling depths and suggesting expanded lithium brine volumes. Ongoing pump tests confirm strong aquifer flow, underpinning an imminent resource upgrade.

Fulcrum Lithium has identified thick, shallow lithium claystone targets at its Dry Canyon project in Nevada, prompting a major claims expansion and plans for maiden drilling.

Solis Minerals is poised to launch diamond drilling at its Mandacaru lithium prospect in Brazil this June, backed by robust geochemical data and expert technical support.
