Latest Mineral Resource Estimation News

MRG Metals says grid hand-auger drilling has outlined a visually mineralised 1.6 square kilometre footprint at its Adriano rare earths project in Mozambique. The result expands the exploration picture, but laboratory assays are still pending and no Mineral Resource has yet been established.

Pilbara Gold has reported broad and high-grade gold intersections at its 2.1Moz Mt York project, including mineralisation about 100 metres below the current resource. The results support ongoing resource classification work, while deeper drilling and further assays could determine how much growth is ultimately added.

OD6 Metals has submitted a Plan of Operations covering up to 139 drill pads and bulk sampling at its Quinn Fluorspar Project in Nevada. The application moves the project towards its first systematic drilling campaign, but approval from the U.S. Forest Service remains outstanding.

AuKing Mining has approved planning for an approximately 1,000-metre diamond hole at its Tundulu Rare Earths Project in Malawi. The hole will test the depth of the carbonatite system at Nathace Hill after strong initial RC results and two deep diamond intersections.

McLaren Minerals has reported broad, near-surface heavy mineralisation from 61 holes at its Western Australian titanium project, led by 24 metres at 7.54% HM. The results strengthen the dataset for a resource update, but do not yet establish an Ore Reserve or project economics.

Metal Hawk is restarting drilling at the Numbat lode after its best Leinster South result to date, with up to 10 RC holes planned and diamond drilling scheduled for November. The deeper campaign will be supported by up to $175,000 in Western Australian Government co-funding.

Broken Hill Gold has started a 48 line-kilometre induced polarisation survey and 670 line-kilometre magnetic program at White Dam, targeting sulphide mineralisation beneath existing oxide prospects. A second diamond rig is also mobilising, but the next value test remains firmly in the ground: geophysical anomalies must translate into drilling results and an upgraded resource.

Benz Mining’s quarterly loss widened sharply as exploration spending surged at its Western Australian projects, but a subsequent C$148.02 million placement has given the company substantial funding to accelerate Glenburgh drilling. The project’s 10.1-12.0 million ounce Exploration Target remains conceptual rather than a Mineral Resource.

Midas Minerals has returned a high-grade 10.9-metre copper intercept at its Deblin deposit in Namibia, including 5.7 metres at 8.85% copper. The results strengthen the case for continued resource drilling, although Deblin has yet to receive a mineral resource estimate.

TechGen Metals has outlined a funded exploration campaign spanning gold, copper and silver targets, with about A$3 million in pro forma cash and several assays due through late 2026. The strongest potential catalyst is John Bull, where step-out drilling could support a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate if results are positive.

Tivan has secured a 50 km² exploration concession immediately north of its Turiscai project in Timor-Leste, subject to formal regulatory grant. The addition would lift the project to eight licences covering approximately 394 km² ahead of planned maiden drilling in the fourth quarter.

Infinity Mining has extended the gold anomaly at its Tanjil Dome project in Victoria to about 1km and identified a separate 1.5km anomalous trend at Good Hope. Surface samples returned up to 3.70 g/t gold at Tanjil Dome and 12.91 g/t from a Good Hope mullock sample, with trenching and drilling now planned.
