Latest Porphyry Systems News

Ballymore Resources has pushed the boundaries of its Torpy’s silver-lead-zinc-indium discovery in North Queensland, with initial results from a fresh 3,000m drilling campaign revealing broad zones of massive sulphide mineralisation closer to surface. Assays are due in June, while a government-backed gravity survey aims to unlock further targets across the Ruddygore corridor.

Sunstone Metals continues to deliver promising gold-copper intersections at its Bramaderos project in Ecuador, with recent Porotillo drilling reinforcing potential to expand the current 3.6Moz resource ahead of a resource update later this year.

Nelson Resources has begun mobilising drilling crews for its maiden underground program at the high-grade Orleans Mine in Nevada, leveraging restored underground access to enhance targeting precision and reduce costs.

Ballymore Resources has kicked off a detailed gravity survey across a 32km corridor at its Ruddygore Project, aiming to refine targets for silver-lead-zinc and skarn-porphyry deposits. Funded by $383,000 in Queensland government grants, the survey complements ongoing high-grade drilling at Torpy's.

LinQ Minerals has delivered a standout shallow copper-gold intercept at its Monza prospect within the Gilmore Project, confirming promising mineralisation in a key 17km porphyry corridor in New South Wales.

Kincora Copper has accelerated exploration across its Australian and Mongolian assets, leveraging new AI and quantum technology partnerships alongside partner-funded drilling, while reporting a modest net income and a strong cash position in Q1 2026.

Sunstone Metals has reported significant new drill results at its Bramaderos project in Ecuador, with wide gold-copper mineralised zones extending beyond the current 3.6Moz resource. The ongoing drill program is set to upgrade a large exploration target, reinforcing the project's growth potential ahead of a resource update later this year.

Sunstone Metals has withdrawn its production targets and financial forecasts for the Bramaderos Gold-Copper Project, citing an overreliance on Inferred resources without a reasonable basis. The company plans infill drilling to upgrade resources and expects an updated Mineral Resource estimate later in 2026.

Stavely Minerals has confirmed significant gold-silver mineralisation at its Freddy’s Find prospect and plans deeper diamond drilling alongside new RC holes to explore a large-scale porphyry target nearby.

Southern Hemisphere Mining has launched a 1,000-metre diamond drilling campaign at its Llahuin copper project in Chile, aiming to extend known mineralisation and test for higher-grade copper-gold-molybdenum zones within a 218Mt JORC resource.

Altitude Minerals has secured $1.155 million through a placement to fund drilling and target development in Nevada and New South Wales, focusing on silver, gold, and copper-gold porphyry systems.

AusQuest’s latest drilling at Cangallo confirms a 1.5km mineralised copper-gold corridor with emerging higher-grade zones, setting the stage for a major diamond drilling campaign targeting deeper sulphides.
