Latest Porphyry Systems News

Ballymore Resources has kicked off a deep Magnetotelluric survey at its Dittmer Project, aiming to pinpoint a concealed porphyry copper-gold system beneath a historic high-grade gold mine while advancing underground development and resource drilling.

FMR Resources has enhanced its geological understanding of the La Lorena Project in Chile through a helicopter magnetic and radiometric survey, revealing new prospects and structural corridors that underpin a large-scale porphyry system.

Sunstone Metals is pushing the boundaries of its Bramaderos gold-copper project in Ecuador, with all 20 holes assayed in the current drilling campaign delivering long mineralised intersections. The Porotillo porphyry system alone now extends mineralisation over an area of roughly 500m by 200m beyond the existing 3.6Moz resource.

Sunstone Metals has raised $10 million through a discounted share placement, with strategic investor DGR Global acquiring a 10% stake and board representation. The funds will boost exploration and development at Sunstone’s high-potential gold-copper projects in Ecuador.

DGR Global is sharpening its focus on copper and gold exploration in Queensland and Ecuador while pursuing a potentially lucrative damages case linked to Armour Energy's liquidation. The company also plans a share buy-back to unlock shareholder value.

Norfolk Metals has released a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource Estimate for its Chilean Ciclón Copper Project, revealing a substantial 11.8 million tonnes at 2.88% copper equivalent, with significant exploration upside and a transaction closing targeted for August 2026.

Stavely Minerals has launched a deep diamond drilling program at its Freddy’s Find gold-silver prospect in western Victoria, targeting extensions below significant shallow mineralisation and exploring a large-scale porphyry system nearby.

Koonenberry Gold (ASX:KNB) has pinpointed a significant near-surface porphyry copper-gold target at its Dunedoo Project in NSW, backed by robust geological, geophysical, and geochemical data. Drill permits are secured for a Q3 2026 campaign targeting multiple priority prospects including Bolinda Vale, Hillside, and Tucklan.

LinQ Minerals has pinpointed a significant geophysical drill target south of its Gidginbung gold deposit, hinting at a potential 2km strike extension. Concurrently, reinterpretation of the Dam deposit suggests it may be part of a larger, blind porphyry system to the north, with drilling plans in motion for both targets.

Kingfisher Mining has completed significant drilling at its Broken Hill projects, confirming promising copper-gold and silver-lead-zinc mineralisation, with assay results due soon and further exploration planned.

Legacy Minerals has kicked off an 8-hole, 4,000m diamond drilling program at its Emu Copper-Gold Prospect, marking the first modern exploration of this historically significant target within the Mt Carrington Project in northern NSW.

Southern Hemisphere Mining has confirmed extensive visible copper sulphide mineralisation down to 256 metres in diamond drilling at its Llahuin project, underpinning the scale potential of this porphyry copper system.
