FMR Resources has shifted decisively towards Chile, expanding its copper-gold portfolio while early Llahuin drilling suggests the interpreted porphyry core remains untested. The exploration push came with a $6.44 million loss, $4.65 million in cash and a renewed dependence on future capital.

Austin Metals has sharpened two gold exploration models after 21 RC holes produced a standout 12-metre intersection at Brunswick Hill, including 1 metre at 12.70 g/t gold. The results also point to previously untested structural targets at Mt Sandy, although the drilling remains early-stage and true widths are not yet known.

FMR Resources reports encouraging assay results from its maiden drill program at the Llahuin JV, revealing extensive copper-gold-molybdenum mineralisation. The company also progresses its acquisition of the La Lorena Project with high-grade rock chip samples and identifies multiple magnetic targets for follow-up.

FIN Resources has confirmed shallow high-grade gold mineralisation at its Cabin Lake Gold Project and identified multiple new exploration targets using integrated geophysical techniques, advancing its district-scale potential in Canada's Northwest Territories.

Final assays from drillhole 26LHDD073 at the Southern Porphyry target within the Llahuin Project Joint Venture validate a broad copper-gold-molybdenum mineralised system. Integration of geological and geophysical data aims to pinpoint the higher-grade core ahead of Phase II drilling.

FMR Resources has received final assays from drillhole 26LHDD073 at its Southern Porphyry target, confirming extensive copper-gold-molybdenum mineralisation and supporting the interpretation of a large porphyry system. Ongoing integration of geological and geophysical data aims to refine targets ahead of Phase II drilling.

Bayan Mining and Minerals delivers strong rare earth assay results from its Desert Star project, advances permitting and drill planning at Bayan Springs South, and strengthens its leadership and strategic positioning.

Southern Hemisphere Mining has completed Phase I drilling at its Southern Porphyry target in Chile, confirming a large hydrothermal system and delivering encouraging assay results. The company is gearing up for Phase II drilling targeting the elusive high-grade core.

Bayan Mining and Minerals has locked in a reverse circulation drill rig with Alaska Midnight Sun Drilling for its first-ever drilling at the Desert Star rare earth project in California, targeting up to 1,000 metres from June 2026. The fully permitted program aims to test high-grade surface mineralisation and geophysical targets near the Mountain Pass mine.

Bayan Mining and Minerals Limited has verified key rare earth element minerals at its Desert Star project in California, confirming a phosphate-rich hard-rock system dominated by light rare earth elements. The company is advancing towards its maiden drill program following regulatory approvals.

Bayan Mining has secured U.S. Bureau of Land Management approval for an expanded drilling program at its Desert Star rare earth project, enabling deeper exploration of high-grade targets near the Mountain Pass mine.

FMR Resources has intersected multiple broad mineralised porphyry phases with visible copper and molybdenite at Target K within its Llahuin Project JV in Chile, refining the search for the core mineralised source.
