Aldoro Resources has achieved a major metallurgical milestone at its Kameelburg project, with direct acid leach tests recovering up to 72% of rare earth elements and over 99% of strontium without prior beneficiation, suggesting a potentially lower-cost development pathway.

Locksley Resources’ maiden diamond drilling at El Campo reveals significant NdPr-enriched rare earth mineralisation akin to Mountain Pass, while Desert Antimony Mine drilling extends high-grade stibnite zones beneath historic workings.

Chalice Mining has outlined a compelling 2.5km copper-molybdenum-silver soil anomaly near Goomalling, WA, featuring rock chips with over 15% total rare earth oxides and strategic magnet rare earths. An initial drilling program is imminent.

Litchfield Minerals' latest drilling at Oonagalabi reveals broad copper-zinc mineralisation and an unusual nickel-molybdenum-bearing quartz vein, prompting refined geological models and planned advanced geophysical surveys.

North Stawell Minerals (ASX:NSM) has reported promising aircore drilling results at its Darlington and Caledonia projects, revealing multiple gold intercepts that align with the historic Mariners Lodes near Stawell, Victoria.

Perpetual Resources has achieved a major breakthrough in reducing iron impurities in its Beharra silica sand, pushing product quality closer to the coveted solar glass standard with a simple, low-cost processing approach.

Basin Energy’s maiden drilling at Newmans has uncovered thick, shallow, and high-grade rare earth mineralisation, validating a new geological model focused on preserved weathering zones over fertile granites.

Sovereign Metals has verified that its Kasiya project hosts monazite concentrates rich in critical heavy rare earths Dysprosium, Terbium, and Yttrium, with oxide ratios far exceeding global benchmarks. This discovery could add a valuable by-product stream at near-zero incremental cost, enhancing the project’s economics amid growing Western supply chain security concerns.

West Cobar Metals reports promising metallurgical results from its Salazar project, highlighting a potential low-cost scandium production route via atmospheric leaching and bioleaching. The findings reinforce Salazar’s strategic value amid rising global scandium demand and ongoing U.S. critical minerals engagement.

Dalaroo Metals gears up for its largest and most integrated exploration program at Blue Lagoon, combining onshore and offshore techniques to probe critical minerals in southern Greenland.

Red Mountain Mining has produced a high-grade 51.8% antimony concentrate from Oaky Creek with excellent 85% recovery, setting the stage for upcoming drilling to define the resource along a 3km mineralised strike in NSW.

Locksley Resources’ maiden diamond drilling at the Desert Antimony Mine reveals high-grade antimony mineralisation extending beneath historic underground workings, including a standout 33.51% Sb intercept.
