Latest Metallurgical Advances News

Prospect Resources has reported robust metallurgical testwork results from the Kabikupa deposit within its Mumbezhi Copper Project, achieving copper concentrate grades exceeding 25% with recoveries above 94%. These findings bolster the project's processing strategy and underpin upcoming scoping studies.

Benz Mining reports strong metallurgical test results from the Icon deposit, showing up to 95.5% gold extraction within 24 hours and potential for broader mineralised halo to contribute to mill feed.

European Resources has significantly expanded the exploration potential at its Korsnäs rare earth project in Finland, increasing the Exploration Target by up to 190% to between 18 and 32 million tonnes at 0.8% to 1.0% TREO. This growth follows new passive seismic survey results and geological modelling extending mineralisation down to -400 m RL.

White Cliff Minerals has kicked off diamond drilling at its Rae Copper Project in Nunavut, targeting extensions of a 1.7km high-grade sediment-hosted copper system identified in 2025. The 2026 campaign aims to test deeper and strike extensions guided by geophysical surveys, underpinning the project's district-scale potential.

Aldoro Resources has delivered standout assay results from its Phase II drilling at the Kameelburg Project in Namibia, highlighting extensive high-grade rare earth elements, strontium, and niobium mineralisation that underpin a robust multi-commodity deposit.

Viking Mines reports a major metallurgical breakthrough at its Linka Tungsten Project, achieving a 62.5% WO3 concentrate at 59.8% recovery using combined gravity and flotation processing on a larger 10 kg sample, significantly improving previous results and validating a low-capex flowsheet ahead of maiden drilling.

Maronan Metals has reported robust assay results from its 2025 infill drilling, revealing significant shallow copper-gold and silver-lead mineralisation that could boost early mining inventory. A revised boxcut design also promises to cut excavation volumes substantially.

Locksley Resources has secured an option to acquire the Iron Duke Copper & Gold Project in NSW, enhancing its district-scale strategy near Tottenham with high-grade mineralisation and multiple drill-ready targets.

TG Metals Limited has achieved over 90% gold recovery in heap leach testwork on its Laterite resource at the Van Uden Gold Project, advancing preparations for a final investment decision in Q3 2026.

Raiden Resources has uncovered extensive new arsenic-in-soil anomalies at its Vuzel Gold Project in Bulgaria, signaling a potentially larger mineralised system beyond the previously drilled zone. Follow-up exploration and permitting efforts continue alongside pending metallurgical test results.

Victory Metals finalises metallurgical testwork revealing major CAPEX and OPEX savings for its North Stanmore heavy rare earth project, with the PFS on track for Q2 2026.

ANSTO Minerals has delivered a significant technical breakthrough in processing Korsnäs’ historical rare earth concentrate, confirming key mineral hosts and setting a clear path to optimise rare earth recovery.
