Mandrake Resources has secured access to produce bulk lithium brine from a key Utah well, enabling critical technical evaluations that will underpin upcoming Scoping Studies and support development of its 3.3Mt lithium resource.

Midas Minerals has extended high-grade copper and silver mineralisation at its Spaatzu prospect within the Otavi Copper Project, Namibia, with assays confirming at least 800m strike length and multiple significant intercepts. Exploration across other Namibian projects also shows promising early-stage results.

Pursuit Minerals has kicked off diamond drilling at the Mito tenement, aiming to unlock a vast lithium brine system that could significantly boost its Rio Grande Sur resource. The drill program follows advanced geophysical work and a recent resource upgrade, positioning the project for potential long-term growth.

Sentinel Metals (ASX: SNM) is set to nearly double its North American gold resources to 2 million ounces by acquiring Capricorn Metals' Big Springs project in Nevada for up to $26 million, combining cash, shares, and milestone payments.

Pivotal Metals has extended its diamond drilling program at the Lorraine Mine East in Quebec, targeting untested copper-nickel and gold anomalies adjacent to a historic mine. The move aims to explore both magmatic sulphide and vein-hosted mineralisation, with drilling underway at the Shanty Lake target and a resource update due for Horden Lake.

Piche Resources has identified extensive high-grade rare earth mineralisation enriched in critical magnet rare earth elements across a 30 km strike at its Ashburton Project, alongside significant uranium prospects.

OD6 Metals has unveiled a series of new high-priority drill targets at its Quinn Fluorspar Project in Nevada, highlighted by exceptional soil fluorine values that suggest extensive high-grade mineralisation over an 8km corridor.

Black Canyon has won a $264,800 WA government grant to fund a detailed gravity survey and deep RC drilling at its Wandanya manganese project, accelerating its path to a maiden resource estimate.

Macarthur Minerals narrowed its loss to $1.82 million for FY26, bolstered by a major new investor and joint venture at its Lake Giles iron ore project in Western Australia.

Midas Minerals’ initial diamond drilling at the Deblin deposit within Namibia’s Otavi Copper Project reveals two wide zones of visible copper sulphides, underscoring the project’s exploration potential ahead of assay results expected in September 2026.

Albright Metals has confirmed and expanded gold and antimony mineralisation at its Golden Pike Project in New Brunswick, revealing promising intercepts that underpin a larger mineralised system. Follow-up drilling is planned to target high-grade antimony and further gold extensions.

Adavale Resources has reported assay results from 13 additional drillholes at its London-Victoria gold mine, confirming and expanding gold mineralisation beneath the historic open pit. The ongoing drilling program supports a larger mineralised system along the Parkes Thrust corridor, with promising metallurgical testwork and a planned resource update.
