Latest Mining And Drilling News

FirstAu Limited is gearing up to drill at its First Hit gold deposit, aiming to define a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate based on historic high-grade production and extensive data.

Lode Resources has uncovered fresh silver-zinc and silver-antimony mineralisation at its Montezuma project in Tasmania, broadening the scope of its high-grade resource. Drilling continues to probe the scale and continuity of these promising discoveries.

Encounter Resources has launched a strategic review of its copper assets across Western Australia and the Northern Territory, aiming to accelerate project development amid promising drilling results at its Yeneena Copper Project and other key sites.

Viking Mines’ maiden drilling at Nevada’s Linka Project reveals multiple broad intervals of visually confirmed scheelite mineralisation, setting the stage for assay results that could validate a near-term tungsten supply boost.

Pantera Minerals has kicked off its first-ever diamond drilling campaign at the Gillham Project in Arkansas, aiming to confirm high-grade antimony and silver mineralisation beneath historic mines.

GoldArc Resources has delivered a standout 1m at 59.9 g/t gold intercept in the final round of grade control drilling at Mt Stirling Well, reinforcing the deposit's high-grade continuity and supporting mine planning.

AIC Mines has confirmed a high-grade copper-gold shoot at its Brumby prospect near the Cannington mine, with drilling intersecting up to 14.4% copper over 10.5 metres within a broader mineralised zone.

Infinity Metals has expanded its Swansea copper project area by nearly half, securing full ownership of new claims that extend over 5km of mineralised strike and include historically high-grade copper zones.

Mammoth Minerals has confirmed significant shallow gold mineralisation extending 700 metres along the Buster trend at its Excelsior Gold-Silver Project in Nevada, signalling potential for a larger Carlin-type gold system. Drilling has now shifted to the high-grade Blue Dick Silver Prospect with results expected soon.

Iltani Resources has reported robust assay results from 13 new drill holes at its flagship Orient Silver-Indium Project, confirming extensive high-grade silver, indium, lead, and zinc mineralisation that strengthens the case for a viable open-pit operation with potential underground mining.

Tungsten Mining has kicked off a comprehensive 20,700-metre drilling campaign at its Watershed Tungsten Project, aiming to boost geological confidence and gather critical engineering data following strong economic results.

Minerals Exploration Limited has reported rock chip assays with gold grades up to 37.4 g/t and tungsten up to 2.63% at its Glenorchy Tungsten Project in Otago, New Zealand. The company plans a maiden drilling program in late 2026, pending regulatory approvals.
