Latest Mineral Resource Updates News

Delta Lithium has outlined Q4 reconnaissance drilling across six Yinnetharra targets, including two gold anomalies supported by high-grade rock-chip and historic drill results. At Mt Ida, new lithium, tantalum and rubidium intersections are feeding a resource update while a 1-tonne metallurgical program moves ahead.

Beacon Minerals has reported a sharp FY2026 recovery, underpinned by higher gold revenue, Lady Ida production and a substantial increase in the Iguana Ore Reserve. The headline profit includes a sizeable asset-sale gain, leaving the next test focused on recurring mine performance.

Saturn Metals has extended the Apollo Hill gold system up to 1km north of its existing 2.83Moz Mineral Resource, with several high-grade intersections among the latest results. A 50-hole, 10,000m RC program is now underway to test continuity and support a planned resource update.

Iltani Resources has reported some of its strongest Orient West drilling results, including a 2-metre intercept grading 2,561 g/t silver equivalent. The company says the latest 16 holes support continuity and could underpin an expanded Mineral Resource later this year.

New assays from Sinclair Gold’s Mt Henry project extend mineralisation beyond the current 1.8Moz resource at both Mt Henry and Selene. Five rigs are continuing step-out drilling, with 33 holes outside the resource footprint still awaiting assays.

Corazon Mining has begun a 50-hole, approximately 7,500-metre RC drilling program at its Chalice Gold Project in Western Australia. The campaign will test near-surface extensions to the existing 191,000-ounce resource, while the company cautions that its larger 830,000-ounce Exploration Target remains conceptual.

Resources & Energy Group has reported strong gold intercepts from grade control drilling at its Maranoa project in Western Australia, including 2 metres at 15.84g/t and 4 metres at 10.38g/t. The results support further mine-planning work, but do not yet change the deposit’s existing inferred resource.

Everest Metals has started a 6,000-metre drilling campaign at Revere while commissioning a Scoping Study targeted for March quarter 2027. A separate $150,000 cash and share transaction would lift EMC’s stated joint venture interest to 56% and halve a royalty burden over selected tenements.

Maritana Minerals has increased the Burbanks Gold Project’s Mineral Resource by 62% to 755,000 ounces, pushing group resources above 2 million ounces. The growth is concentrated at Burbanks North, but the inventory remains predominantly Inferred and has yet to support an Ore Reserve.

Sunstone Metals has completed its 30-hole Bramaderos resource-growth program with a 5.95m zone grading 26.61 g/t AuEq and a separate 367.99m mineralised intersection. The results will feed into a 2026 resource update expected in the coming quarter.

Polymetals Resources has boosted the Endeavor Mine’s Mineral Resource to 20.7 million tonnes, adding 1.3 Mt of high-grade sulphide mineralisation in the Upper Main Lode despite ongoing depletion and a more conservative density model.

Sunstone Metals has delivered robust drilling results at its Bramaderos Gold-Copper Project in Ecuador, expanding the Melonal porphyry system with long mineralised intervals and strong grades, setting the stage for a resource update.
