Latest Porphyry Systems News

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.

Lodestar Minerals (ASX:LSR) confirms large-scale IOCG mineralisation in Chile and high-grade heavy rare earths in the USA, while progressing a 10,000m gold drilling program in Western Australia targeting a maiden resource.

DPM Metals has revealed a major new gold-copper porphyry discovery at its Brevene South Porphyry target adjacent to the Chelopech mine, with drill results showing broad intervals of high-grade mineralization and plans for an intensive follow-up drilling campaign.

FMR Resources has identified several large-scale magnetic intrusive centres beneath known copper-gold mineralisation at its La Lorena Project in Chile, setting the stage for drill testing in late 2026.

Sunstone Metals continues to expand its Bramaderos gold-copper resource in Ecuador, with recent drilling at Porotillo delivering long, consistent mineralised intersections outside the existing 3.6Moz resource. The company aims to upgrade a significant exploration target to a JORC resource later this year.

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.

Killi Resources has significantly extended the King Louie Breccia gold-copper-molybdenum anomaly at its Mt Rawdon West Project, setting the stage for imminent drill testing backed by government funding.

Tolu Minerals has reignited underground mining at its Tolukuma Gold Mine with exceptional early sampling grades and unveiled a major new high-grade discovery at Fundoot, launching a massive 75,000-metre drilling campaign to expand resources and explore district-scale potential.

AusQuest has reported significant near-surface copper-gold mineralisation from its latest RC drilling at the Cangallo project in Peru, setting the stage for a substantial diamond drilling campaign targeting deeper, higher-grade zones.

Tivan Limited’s regional stream sediment sampling at Turiscai reveals highly anomalous copper and gold grades, alongside key pathfinder elements, advancing the project towards maiden drilling.
