Latest Mineral Exploration News

Reedy Lagoon has secured a fully underwritten $1.8 million placement that would more than double its shares on issue, while related-party debt is shifted to an interest-free 24-month repayment plan. The recapitalisation also brings a leadership change, with Geof Fethers retiring as managing director and Ish Peries joining the board.

Austin Metals has sharpened two gold exploration models after 21 RC holes produced a standout 12-metre intersection at Brunswick Hill, including 1 metre at 12.70 g/t gold. The results also point to previously untested structural targets at Mt Sandy, although the drilling remains early-stage and true widths are not yet known.

Evergold has defined three priority gold targets at its Leonora Goldfields Project after combining 1,312 soil samples with detailed drone magnetics. The early-stage results sharpen the company’s exploration pipeline, but drilling is still needed to establish whether the surface anomalies continue into bedrock.

Corazon Mining has confirmed shallow, high-grade gold mineralisation at its Wembley prospect in Western Australia, with drilling extending the known system about 60 metres east of historic work. Seven assays remain outstanding as the company prepares follow-up drilling aimed at an eventual Exploration Target and potential Mineral Resource.

Mount Ridley Mines has told ASX it holds no unreleased exploration results that explain its share price rise, while confirming three testwork programs remain in progress. The company also disclosed that an institutional investor had approached it about participating in its current capital raising.

Kingston Resources says infill drilling at Jack’s Hut has confirmed the location and continuity of polymetallic mineralisation targeted for potential underground mining at Mineral Hill. The results will feed into a resource update, while surface drilling in October will test extensions beyond the current resource.

Red Hill Minerals has more than doubled FY2026 net profit to A$20.1 million as its Onslow Iron royalty delivered A$28.8 million in income. The ASX-listed miner declared a fully franked final dividend of 10.8 cents per share, taking FY2026 distributions to 22.4 cents per share.

Piche Resources has begun a strategic review of its three remaining mineral projects and potential new opportunities after completing its rights issue, while searching for a chief executive to lead the next phase. The review will be supported by independent geological consultants, but no acquisition, disposal or revised exploration program has yet been announced.

Caspin Resources has identified an 800-metre tungsten soil anomaly at Taylors Hill, where historical drilling returned high-grade tin and tungsten intersections. The results broaden the Bygoo Project beyond its established tin focus, although the strongest evidence remains untested historical data.

Tali Resources ended its first full year as an ASX-listed explorer with A$5.19 million in cash, a larger West Arunta exploration program and a A$1.48 million loss. The annual report also records a A$516,170 impairment after early drilling returned only moderately anomalous results, keeping the company firmly in the high-risk pre-discovery phase.

Mindax Limited has locked in a total of A$3.9 million in convertible note funding from Singapore-based L&Y Investment Holdings, contingent on Foreign Investment Review Board approval. The unsecured notes carry 10% interest and could dilute existing shareholders by up to 4.63%.

Noronex Limited has exercised its option to acquire Alaskan Critical Minerals, unlocking ownership of the Sleitat Tin Project in Alaska. The company secured an ASX waiver allowing milestone-based share issuance beyond the usual timeframe, tying payments to resource milestones and a decision to mine.
