Latest Murchison News

BOA Resources has reported further high-grade copper intersections at Ricci Lee, strengthening evidence of a continuous mineralised system rather than isolated historical hits. Assays from 12 more RC holes and five other Neds Creek prospects could now shape the path towards a maiden Mineral Resource.

Meeka Metals has begun underground decline development at Fairway, its second mine at the Murchison Gold Project, with first ore targeted for January 2027. The project carries a 50koz initial Ore Reserve, while drilling below the planned mine points to potential reserve growth and a longer mine life.

Meeka Metals produced 7,237 ounces of gold in the September quarter, up 13% from the previous three months, while Andy Well underground ore continued to exceed reserve-grade expectations. Cash rose to $51 million as the company shifted from open-pit mining towards a two-underground-mine operation.

Terrain Minerals has identified high-grade tungsten across six Smokebush prospects after re-assaying previously capped samples, with the strongest result reaching 0.75% WO₃. The company plans up to 12 tungsten-focused RC holes, although the mineralisation remains early-stage and only a third of the available samples has been tested.

Mamba Exploration has secured a $6.0 million placement, attracted a $500,000 investment from New Murchison Gold and added former Westgold founder Peter Cook as a strategic adviser. The funding will support drilling at Meeka East and a staged earn-in over the early-stage Poison Hills project, where selective rock chips returned high silver, gold, copper and lead grades.

Caprice Resources has put its Murchison gold portfolio at the centre of a larger exploration campaign after extending Vadrians mineralisation and raising A$12.8 million. The company remains pre-production and loss-making, with a maiden resource estimate still to come.

Rincon Resources posted a $6.96 million FY2026 loss after writing down $5.53 million of exploration assets, while its cash balance rose following a $3.1 million placement. The explorer has narrowed its focus to Telfer South and Crackerbox, but remains dependent on future drilling and funding.

Accelerate Resources enters FY2027 with high-grade manganese targets at Woodie Woodie North and new gold zones at Balagundi, but a sharp annual loss and ongoing funding needs remain part of the story. The company plans maiden and follow-up drilling while seeking shareholder approval to rename itself Mango Metals.

Odyssey Gold has secured a native vegetation clearing permit and a new mining lease at Tuckanarra, while refurbishment work at the planned Kirkalocka processing facility moves ahead. The first toll milling parcel is targeted for June 2027, but a required joint venture agreement remains unresolved.

New Murchison Gold has reported high-grade drilling across three Lydia deposits near its Crown Prince operation, led by a 1m interval at 47.20g/t gold. The results define shallow mineralised zones, but remain outside the current Lydia resource and still require further drilling and modelling.

Mamba Exploration cut its FY2026 loss sharply and ended the year with A$1.19 million in cash after acquiring 70% of the Meeka East Gold Project. But the annual report says additional debt or equity funding is required to sustain exploration, creating a clear financial test for the new Western Australian strategy.

Golden Dragon Mining’s first full financial year as an ASX-listed explorer delivered high-grade shallow gold results at Cue, but also a $735,073 loss and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over going concern. A subsequent $2.2 million placement has strengthened the balance sheet, leaving drilling results and funding discipline as the key tests for FY2027.
