Barton Gold has expanded its Tolmer silver discovery in South Australia, delivering multiple high-grade silver and gold assay results from a recent 3,677m drilling program. The western silver zone now stretches over 500 metres, while the eastern gold zone shows broad, high-grade gold mineralisation. Metallurgical testwork is set to begin, aiming to clarify recoverability and support resource modelling.

Diablo Resources has secured an 80% stake in the historic Horn Silver Project in Utah, unlocking a portfolio of high-grade silver, gold, copper, and antimony targets. The acquisition complements its nearby Star Range assets and aligns with US critical minerals priorities.

Patriot Resources has expanded its silver-gold footprint in southern Peru by staking the Tassa 5 tenement, increasing its landholding by 50% and pushing the mineralised corridor further south adjacent to its 31.4Moz AgEq inferred resource.

Advance Metals has delivered promising maiden drilling results at its Gavilanes Silver Project in Mexico and moved toward full ownership of its Victorian gold projects, supported by strong gold recoveries and high-grade assays.

Mammoth Minerals has kicked off its maiden RC drilling program at the Blue Dick Prospect, aiming to extend exceptional surface silver and gold grades over a mapped 6.5km strike at its Excelsior Springs Project in Nevada.
