Terra Metals has reported its largest continuous high-grade reef yet at the Southwest PGM-copper-nickel discovery, with a 336.9-metre intercept among new assay results. Heritage access is now cleared across the drilling footprint, while more than 40,000 assays remain pending ahead of a maiden resource estimate planned for Q1 2027.

Metallium has completed a 12-hour campaign using three Flash Joule Heating reactors to process platinum-group-metal-bearing catalytic converter material under reactive chlorination conditions. The milestone advances the company’s scale-up program, but recovery results, product economics and feedstock grades remain unverified.

Zimplats delivered a sharp FY2026 earnings rebound, with revenue up 57% and profit after tax rising to US$276.7 million. The result was driven mainly by stronger PGM prices, while lower sales volumes, higher unit costs, no dividend and rising sulphur dioxide emissions temper the celebration.

Podium Minerals says optimisation work has maintained approximately 80% overall 3E recovery while cutting the targeted size of its downstream recovery circuit by about half. The technical gains came alongside a larger annual loss and an explicit reliance on further funding to advance Parks Reef.

Platina Resources has reshaped itself around a 312 square kilometre gold portfolio in Western Australia’s Laverton district, backed by $8.61 million in cash. The FY2026 annual report shows stronger exploration momentum, but the company remains loss-making and dependent on turning targets into discoveries.

Pivotal Metals has used its FY2026 annual report to position Horden Lake as a larger, better-understood Quebec copper project, with a maiden scoping study targeted for September. The company also expanded Belleterre drilling and added the Bambino project, but remains loss-making and dependent on further funding.

Galileo Mining advanced several PGM, nickel, copper and gold targets at Norseman during FY2026, but a A$4.55 million exploration impairment pushed its annual loss to A$4.67 million. The company ended the year with A$7.48 million in cash and a growing drilling pipeline for Mission Sill and Callisto South.

Galileo Mining has lined up two drilling programs at its Norseman project, targeting an untested extension near Callisto and shallow sulphide mineralisation at Mission Sill. The programs will test encouraging but still preliminary exploration indicators, with results yet to come.

Terra Metals has reported broad PGM-Cu-Ni mineralisation and repeated higher-grade reef layers from three holes at its Southwest Discovery in Western Australia. The results strengthen the geological picture ahead of a planned maiden Mineral Resource Estimate, but true widths, recoveries and resource scale remain unconfirmed.

Platina Resources' first modern drilling at Sunrise Bore near Laverton reveals a wide, shallow gold system with significant high-grade zones, validating historical data and opening a large exploration window.

Terra Metals has confirmed a substantial extension of its Southwest sulfide discovery at the Dante Project, with new drilling revealing broad, continuous PGM-Cu-Ni mineralisation over a 1,100m strike. Five rigs are drilling aggressively as the company targets a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate by late 2026.

Pivotal Metals has secured an option to acquire the Bambino Project in Québec, significantly enlarging its high-grade copper-nickel-platinum group metals footprint at the Belleterre district. The acquisition consolidates a 6km mineralised trend and sets the stage for systematic exploration with planned geophysics and drilling.
