Latest Manganese Exploration News

Estrella Resources has expanded its manganese exploration footprint in Timor-Leste with rock chip assays up to 57.8% manganese at new Leuro and Sica prospects, confirming broader mineralisation beyond its Ira Miri project.

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.

Trek Metals has intersected visual manganese mineralisation in all 15 reverse circulation holes at its Kuro discovery, with significant semi-massive and massive zones, while geophysical surveys reveal further high-priority targets.

Trek Metals has kicked off its first Reverse Circulation drilling campaign at the Kuro manganese discovery near Christmas Creek, aiming to test the depth and extent of high-grade mineralisation identified at surface.

Accelerate Resources has raised A$2 million in a two-tranche placement to fund aggressive exploration at its Balagundi Gold and Woodie Woodie North Manganese projects, aiming for a busy news flow through 2026.

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.

Estrella Resources has completed a Category B market appraisal at its Ira Miri manganese project, confirming a 27,371 tonne stockpile including nearly 5,000 tonnes of high-grade manganese. Exploration upside remains significant with open mineralisation and upcoming geophysical surveys.

Accelerate Resources (ASX: AX8) has made significant strides in its dual-growth strategy, uncovering multiple gold mineralised corridors at Balagundi and defining a new high-grade manganese hub at Woodie Woodie North during the March 2026 quarter.

Trek Metals has confirmed exceptional manganese grades at its Kuro Prospect, secured expanded tenure, and completed a $15 million capital raise to fund maiden drilling starting May 2026.

Accelerate Resources bolsters its Woodie Woodie North manganese project with strong validation from historic drilling and fresh analysis, setting the stage for mid-year drilling targeting direct shipping ore.

Ragusa Minerals has reported strikingly high manganese and gold assay results from rock samples at its Purple Pansy Project in Arizona, setting the stage for targeted geophysical surveys and drilling to define a maiden resource.
