Latest Mineral Systems News

American West Metals has reported thick visual copper, zinc and molybdenum mineralisation in three new holes at its West Desert Project in Utah. The strongest result came from WD26-07, but laboratory assays are still needed to establish grades and economic significance.

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.

Javelin Minerals has launched a significant diamond drilling campaign targeting two major deep gold-copper anomalies at its Coogee Project in WA, supported by WA Government funding.

Lightning Minerals has identified two distinct gold target corridors within the Western Zone of its Mt Turner Project, highlighting a 1km-long intrusion-related gold anomaly and multiple epithermal-style trends. Follow-up sampling and trenching are planned to refine these targets ahead of drilling.

True North Copper (ASX:TNC) has expanded its Mt Oxide copper-cobalt-silver system to a 2.3km strike length, unveiling a new ~300m wide mineralised zone at Chidna alongside multiple high-grade shoots at Aquila.

Lion Rock Minerals has revealed high-grade rare earth element mineralisation starting at surface at its Minta Project in Cameroon, with assays showing up to 21.15% TREO in saprolite and a magnet-rich rare earth basket. A large-scale drilling campaign is underway to further define this significant discovery.

Kalgoorlie Gold Mining’s recent RC drilling at Lighthorse has delivered its highest-grade intercept yet, alongside broad mineralised zones that hint at a significant concealed gold system in the Pinjin Project.

Kantra Copper has successfully expanded the Spitfire lode at its Kanmantoo mine, intersecting significant high-grade copper-gold mineralisation beyond previous resource boundaries. This underground drilling breakthrough sets the stage for a substantial resource update later this year.

Azzuro Resources has locked in high-grade copper-gold zones at its Red Hill project in Mongolia, extending mineralisation over 550 metres of strike and 150 metres depth with new zones identified and Phase 2 drilling underway.

Flynn Gold’s 2026 drilling at Firetower in northern Tasmania confirms multiple high-grade gold-tungsten-copper-cobalt zones, extending mineralisation depth and strike. Assays from two further holes are pending, with metallurgical testwork and resource modelling underway.

Cosmo Metals has initiated a systematic soil sampling campaign at its Plunkett & Cassidy antimony prospect within the extensive Antimony Gully Trend at Bingara, NSW, following rock chip assays up to 10.3% antimony. The program aims to delineate mineralised strike extensions and prioritise drill targets in a region hosting Larvotto Resources’ Hillgrove deposit.

Waratah Minerals has pushed the boundaries of its Consols Gold Zone in New South Wales, revealing a fresh shallow high-grade gold zone alongside substantial deeper mineralisation. Meanwhile, drilling at the Spur Project continues to expand the mineralised footprint northwards.
