Heavy Rare Earths Limited has initiated a strategic review of its Cowalinya rare earth project, focusing on heavy rare earth oxides critical for energy and defence sectors. The review aims to unlock value from high-grade zones within a substantial JORC resource through expert reinterpretation and targeted metallurgical testing.

Nova Minerals has achieved gold recoveries exceeding 95% from low-grade Korbel ore using coarse particle flotation, producing concentrates up to 26.7 g/t Au. This breakthrough could cut costs and unlock more of the resource in its Alaska Estelle project.

Temas Resources' re-assay program at the Hervieux West deposit validates extensive high-grade titanium-vanadium mineralisation and reveals significant gallium, scandium, and chromium credits, accelerating resource development at the La Blache Project.

Venus Metals has unveiled promising auger soil sampling results at its Henderson Gold Project and significant base metals anomalies at Youanmi, alongside initiating a titanium extraction research program with Murdoch University.

Chilwa Minerals has identified widespread rare earth element mineralisation in clays directly beneath its Mposa heavy mineral sands deposit in Malawi, revealing potential for a dual-commodity mining operation pending metallurgical test results.

KGL Resources has launched a A$300 million equity raising to complete funding for the Jervois Copper Project, combining it with a US$300 million streaming deal and existing cash to fully finance construction and production.

Aldoro Resources has hit a new high-water mark at its Kameelburg project with drill hole DD008F delivering the thickest and highest-grade rare earth mineralisation to date. The full Phase II assay suite confirms a vast, multi-commodity system and an imminent resource update.

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.

Kingston Resources has boosted the Southern Ore Zone (SOZ) Mineral Resource at Mineral Hill by 50%, expanding the mining inventory and underpinning plans for reserve growth and plant expansion.

EV Resources has validated a flotation-led processing route at its Tecomatlán Plant, achieving 81.1% antimony recovery and concentrate grades up to 62.9% Sb, enabling a low-CAPEX upgrade and a compressed production timeline.

Benz Mining has unveiled a maiden Exploration Target for its Glenburgh Gold Project, estimating up to 12 million ounces of gold largely defined by drilling. The project’s scale and geological setting support ambitions for a world-class gold system, with aggressive drilling planned to convert the target into a Mineral Resource by 2027.

Lefroy Exploration’s metallurgical tests reveal up to 97% gold recovery from its Burns High-Grade Deposit, underpinning plans for a resource update by September 2026.
