Lachlan Star’s maiden drilling at New Waverley confirms a high-grade Norseman-style gold system, prompting an expanded 4,000m drilling campaign to test a mineralised corridor with over 800m strike potential.

AusQuest’s inaugural deep diamond drill-hole at its Cangallo project in Peru reveals extensive copper mineralisation down to 880 metres, underpinning the scale of the porphyry system. Assays are pending, with further drilling underway to probe higher-grade zones.

Antares Metals (ASX: AM5) has secured approval to begin heritage surveys and drilling at its Quinns VMS project in Western Australia, backed by $237,500 in government co-funding. The company aims to test high-grade extensions of the historic Austin deposit and untested regional prospects, with copper prices rising sharply since the last resource estimate.

Nelson Resources has pinpointed four key exploration targets at its Cinnamon Tungsten Property in Nevada, highlighting Ophir as a near-surface priority with strong alteration and a newly mapped quartz monzonite intrusion. Positioned next to Guardian Metal Resources’ Pilot Mountain project, the company plans immediate fieldwork to advance these prospects.

Canterbury Resources is pushing ahead with a large-scale drilling program at its Briggs Copper Project while integrating its newly acquired Monto Project, setting the stage for a Pre-Feasibility Study on a potential tier-one copper operation.

Patagonia Lithium has reached 200 metres depth at Cilon Well 8, reporting strong brine flow rates and specific gravity readings indicative of lithium presence, while confirming no environmental impact from drilling activities.

Manhattan Gold has revealed exceptional high-grade gold assays up to 20 g/t from surface sampling at the newly acquired Vanquish prospect, expanding its Hook Lake exploration pipeline in Nunavut, Canada.

Gateway Mining has extended the Cowza gold mineralisation footprint within its Yandal Project from 800 metres to 2.5 kilometres, uncovering consistent high-grade gold intercepts in fresh rock and preparing for deeper drilling to define the system's scale.

Gorilla Gold Mines has struck a spectacular new high-grade gold intercept at its Vivien Project in WA and secured underground mine de-watering to unlock redevelopment options.

Sunshine Metals has unveiled fresh high-grade gold targets at its Sybil project in Queensland following a comprehensive airborne magnetic and radiometric survey. With rock chip samples hitting 21.6g/t Au at Pancho and drilling set to start imminently, the survey reshapes the exploration landscape across Sybil’s epithermal system.

Famien Resources’ maiden RC drilling at the Bonougbara Trend delivers multiple gold intercepts, reinforcing the prospectivity of its Cote D’Ivoire portfolio. Further drilling and sampling programs are underway to delineate the emerging mineralised system.

Kali Metals has identified multiple new high-grade gold prospects at its Marble Bar Project, with rock-chip samples hitting up to 53.1 g/t Au and soil sampling revealing extensive gold-in-soil anomalies over previously untested ground.
