Latest Mineral Resource Development News

Kingfisher Mining has reported strong copper-gold assay results from its recent RC drilling at the Copper Blow IOCG prospect near Broken Hill, confirming wide, high-grade zones and extending mineralisation towards major faults. These results advance the project closer to a maiden resource estimate, supported by a processing deal with Broken Hill Mines.

RareX Limited’s latest metallurgical program at Cummins Range delivers a breakthrough 9.5x upgrade in rare earth concentrate grade and confirms a viable gallium by-product extraction pathway, setting the stage for integrated multi-element processing.

Heavy Rare Earths Limited has extended the known mineralised strike at its South Ridge Tin Project to 1.85km and secured all drilling approvals, enabling an expanded drilling campaign aimed at defining a maiden resource.

Lodestar Minerals’ latest drilling at Ned’s Creek delivers strong high-grade gold intersections, underpinning its 250,000-300,000 oz Exploration Target and setting the stage for a maiden resource estimate in 2026.

Antares Metals has completed its first ever drilling at Conglomerate Creek Target 2, intersecting the quartz vein system beneath high-grade surface mineralisation and setting the stage for upcoming assay results and follow-up drilling.

Australian Rare Earths (ASX: AR3) has discovered a promising niobium-rare earth carbonatite system at its Overland Project, marked by significant mineralisation in a single drill hole and linked to a large magnetic anomaly.

Medallion Metals has validated broad, shallow gold mineralisation at the Teddy Bear deposit within Forrestania, alongside promising stockpile grades that bolster its early production plans.

Trek Metals’ maiden drilling at the Kuro manganese discovery continues to reveal significant visual mineralisation aligned with Induced Polarisation (IP) anomalies, validating IP as an effective tool for undercover manganese targeting.

Taruga Minerals has revealed new rock chip assays from Normanby Island, Papua New Guinea, that affirm a district-scale epithermal gold-silver system along an 8km corridor. The results underpin imminent drilling at the Weioko Gold Deposit and expand exploration potential across granted tenements.

Benz Mining’s latest drilling at Glenburgh’s Icon Camp continues to underpin a multi-million-ounce gold target, delivering thick high-grade intercepts and expanding mineralised zones towards Apollo.

Resources & Energy Group (ASX:REZ) has extended gold mineralisation at its Gigante Grande prospect, confirming significant intercepts 1 km south of the existing resource and supporting a substantial exploration target.

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.
