Great Western Exploration has kicked off a reverse circulation drilling campaign at its Juggernaut copper-gold project in Western Australia's Yerrida Basin, testing six volcanic-hosted massive sulphide targets with strong parallels to the nearby DeGrussa deposit.

High-Tech Metals Ltd has wrapped up a 41-hole reverse circulation drilling program at its Mt Fisher gold project, with assays pending. Early sampling of a carbonaceous stockpile revealed gold grades up to 20.1 g/t, prompting further bulk sampling and metallurgical testwork to evaluate economic potential.

Orpheus Uranium (ASX: ORP) is set to kick off its inaugural drilling program at the Erudina Uranium Prospect within the Frome Project, targeting a 10 km-long palaeochannel system with the aim of refining geological models and advancing towards a potential mineral resource.

Manhattan Gold Corporation has kicked off a 4,000m reverse circulation drilling campaign at its underexplored Hook Lake Project in Nunavut, aiming to confirm and extend historic high-grade gold and polymetallic targets.

Encounter Resources has kicked off a 3,500-metre dual drilling campaign at its Yeneena Copper Project, aiming to extend known high-grade copper mineralisation along the Parbo system and complete a diamond hole at Haddon. Results are due in August 2026.

Accelerate Resources has initiated a 1,200m reverse circulation drilling program at its newly identified Spencers gold prospect within the expanded Balagundi Gold Project, aiming to validate and extend promising shallow gold mineralisation.

Eminence Minerals has kicked off a comprehensive drilling campaign at its Campo Grande Rare Earth Project in Brazil, targeting high-priority corridors adjacent to a major peer's high-grade rare earth discovery.

Cazaly Resources has cleared the final hurdle to drill the Cadix anomaly, a large untested magnetic target in Namibia’s Abenab North Project, with fieldwork set for Q3 2026.

White Cliff Minerals has kicked off diamond drilling at its Rae Copper Project in Nunavut, targeting extensions of a 1.7km high-grade sediment-hosted copper system identified in 2025. The 2026 campaign aims to test deeper and strike extensions guided by geophysical surveys, underpinning the project's district-scale potential.

Kingston Resources stops mining at Pearse South after a second geotechnical failure, pivoting to a major underground drilling program and launching a $11.6 million capital raise to underpin a long-term expansion at Mineral Hill.

Great Western Exploration has wrapped up a 2,200m air core drilling program at its Diorama copper-gold target in WA, with assay results expected by late July or early August 2026. The company plans follow-up reverse circulation drilling at six nearby Juggernaut targets next month, followed by drilling at Baroo.
