Latest Mineral Resource Drilling News

Elk Range Mining has begun its first diamond drilling campaign at the Friday Gold Project in Idaho, aiming to validate historical high-grade gold and build a modern resource base.

Legacy Minerals delivers a robust scoping study for Mt Carrington with A$514 million pre-tax NPV, confirms a new gold-silver discovery at Mascotte, and advances multiple drilling programs across NSW projects.

Nico Resources has completed preparations for a key infill drilling campaign at its Wingellina nickel-cobalt project, aiming to upgrade resource classifications and refine metallurgical understanding. The company also inked a strategic MOU with Pure Battery Technologies to explore regional refining opportunities amid a turbulent nickel price environment.

White Cliff Minerals has intersected over 90 metres of copper sulphides in its maiden diamond drillhole at the Rae Copper Project, confirming extensive mineralisation and securing A$6.5 million to accelerate exploration.

Maritana Minerals has launched a fully funded 60,000-metre resource conversion drilling campaign targeting four key projects to upgrade Mineral Resources and bolster mine planning for the Black Swan Processing Hub.

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.

Nexus Minerals has reported robust gold assay results from its Wallbrook Gold Project, with the Payns Prospect delivering continuous mineralisation including grades up to 19.00g/t Au. The ongoing drilling program is on track to expand the project's resource base ahead of a September update.
