Black Canyon has spent the 2026 financial year moving Wandanya from discovery towards resource definition, backed by 17,200 metres of drilling and encouraging manganese beneficiation results. The exploration company ended the year with $7.77 million in cash and no debt, but remains reliant on future funding before any development decision can be made.

Albright Metals will surrender its Gabanintha mineral rights to Australian Vanadium in return for $1.75 million, a 0.75% royalty and a sharper focus on its Canadian flagship. The package includes $500,000 in cash and $1.25 million of Australian Vanadium shares, although the final share count is yet to be determined.

Black Canyon has launched a 5,000m RC drilling campaign at its Wandanya Project, extending the manganese mineralisation footprint to 3.4km and targeting further iron-rich zones along a 9km trend. The maiden resource estimate remains on track for September 2026.

Black Canyon has confirmed a 400-metre southern extension to its Wandanya manganese project, delivering multiple high-grade manganese intercepts and advancing towards a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate in September 2026.

Trek Metals’ maiden drilling at Kuro returns multiple high-grade manganese intercepts including a standout 10m at 42.3% Mn, validating an extensive near-surface system with promising low penalty elements.

Black Canyon Limited has reported robust assay results from its Wandanya Project in Western Australia, confirming shallow, high-grade manganese and iron mineralisation. The company is on track to deliver a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate by September 2026, with further drilling planned to expand the 9km mineralised system.

Black Canyon Limited’s June quarter report highlights robust drilling results and beneficiation success at Wandanya, supported by a $265K WA government grant and a solid $7.8 million cash position.

Black Canyon Limited reports strong assay results confirming shallow, high-grade manganese and iron mineralisation at its Wandanya Project, with expansion drilling extending the manganese horizon 400m south and revealing further targets to the north and east.

Black Canyon has won a $264,800 WA government grant to fund a detailed gravity survey and deep RC drilling at its Wandanya manganese project, accelerating its path to a maiden resource estimate.

Black Canyon’s latest drilling at Wandanya extends high-grade manganese and iron mineralisation 300m north and expands cross-strike widths to 800m, reinforcing the project’s potential for low-cost direct shipping ore.

Black Canyon's latest beneficiation trials at Wandanya have consistently upgraded manganese feeds to 40-45% Mn grades with strong recoveries, while iron ore tests show a premium lump product. Ongoing drilling and larger scale testwork aim to refine project economics.

Black Canyon is progressing its Wandanya Project with robust drilling and beneficiation results, underpinning a large manganese resource and promising scoping study economics.
