Latest Mining And Drilling News

Benz Mining's drilling at Glenburgh's Hurricane Camp reveals thick, high-grade gold mineralisation linking key zones and extending the deposit down-plunge by over 400 metres, boosting the project's growth potential.

Hillgrove Resources has uncovered significant copper-gold mineralisation extending more than 100 metres below previous depths at the Kanmantoo Copper Mine, marking the deepest recorded intersection to date and reinforcing resource growth potential.

Pacgold has poured its second gold doré bar at White Dam and is fast-tracking plans to restart mining at Vertigo pit six months ahead of schedule.

Diatreme Resources has unveiled a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate of 102.7 million tonnes of high-purity silica sand at its Casuarina deposit, lifting its total global resource base to 632.8 million tonnes. The deposit's proximity to existing infrastructure and high silica content underpin its development potential.

Chilwa Minerals has expanded its Mpyupyu West heavy mineral sands discovery to over 17 km², surpassing the combined area of the Mpyupyu Dune and Flat deposits. This expanded target borders the recently doubled 109.6 Mt Mpyupyu resource, with drilling underway to test a potential physical merger.

Lachlan Star has confirmed shallow, high-grade gold mineralisation at New Waverley, prompting an expanded 4,000m drilling program to test extensions and increase density along a mineralised shear corridor open in all directions.

Krakatoa Resources is gearing up to resume drilling at its Zopkhito antimony-gold project in Georgia, buoyed by strong 2025 results and a two-year extension to its exploration license.

Eclipse Metals has unveiled high-grade fluorite alongside a suite of critical minerals including gallium and rubidium at Greenland’s Ivigtût mine, repositioning the asset beyond its historic cryolite legacy.

Medallion Metals has identified a significant new sulphide lode, Hillsborough Deeps, beneath the Gem deposit at Kundip, with drilling and electromagnetic surveys indicating strong potential for resource expansion.

Pacific Resources has reported promising gold assay results from channel sampling at its Sulphide Creek project in Tasmania, highlighting structurally controlled mineralisation with peak grades exceeding 2 g/t Au and strong pathfinder element correlations.

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.

Bayan Mining has kicked off its first-ever drilling campaign at the Desert Star Rare Earth Project in California, aiming to test promising high-grade surface mineralisation and geophysical targets near the Mountain Pass mine.
