WIN Metals has boosted its Radio Gold Project resource by 21% to 49,600 ounces at 4.2 g/t, underpinning plans for a near-term development decision backed by increased resource confidence and ongoing mining studies.

Morella Corporation’s latest drilling at Mt Edon delivers broad and continuous rubidium mineralisation with high-grade pockets, setting the stage for its first JORC Mineral Resource Estimate.

TG Metals has lodged a mining lease application for its Burmeister lithium deposit, targeting early-stage direct shipping ore development amid a buoyant lithium market.

Barton Gold has raised $25.5 million through an institutional placement, fully funding critical feasibility studies and resource upgrades across its Challenger, Tunkillia, and Tolmer projects in South Australia.

Flynn Gold has ramped up its diamond drilling program at the Firetower Gold-Tungsten Project in northern Tasmania, expanding from three to ten holes totalling 1,600 metres. The move aims to test high-grade extensions and support a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate amid critical mineral supply pressures.

Final assays from drillhole 26LHDD073 at the Southern Porphyry target within the Llahuin Project Joint Venture validate a broad copper-gold-molybdenum mineralised system. Integration of geological and geophysical data aims to pinpoint the higher-grade core ahead of Phase II drilling.

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.

Nova Minerals has launched a major 2026 exploration campaign at its Estelle Project in Alaska, combining a 10,000-metre drilling program with advancing antimony production backed by US$43.4 million in U.S. Department of War funding.

Critica Limited’s Jupiter Rare Earth Project pilot plant has delivered a significant beneficiation breakthrough, upgrading feed to a ~3% TREO intermediate concentrate with strong magnet rare earth recoveries and substantial mass rejection.

Minrex Resources is set to ramp up its flagship Tlamino Gold Project in Serbia with a fully funded 7,000m drilling program aimed at upgrading its resource classification and refreshing project economics in a dramatically improved metals price environment.

Prodigy Gold’s scoping study for the Hyperion Gold Deposit confirms a viable open pit project with a 4-year mine life and strong financial metrics, underpinned by a 454,000-ounce resource.

Sovereign Metals has verified that its Kasiya project hosts monazite concentrates rich in critical heavy rare earths Dysprosium, Terbium, and Yttrium, with oxide ratios far exceeding global benchmarks. This discovery could add a valuable by-product stream at near-zero incremental cost, enhancing the project’s economics amid growing Western supply chain security concerns.
