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.

Somerset Minerals (ASX:SMM) is ramping up exploration at its Coppermine copper project in Nunavut, Canada, with thick, high-grade copper intercepts at Jura and a major 17 km Talisker anomaly set for maiden drilling from July 2026.

Eminence Minerals has kicked off a comprehensive drilling campaign at its Campo Grande Rare Earth Project in Brazil, targeting high-priority corridors adjacent to a major peer's high-grade rare earth discovery.

Atomic Eagle's drilling at the Muntanga Uranium Project in Zambia has expanded key uranium mineralisation zones at Chisebuka, confirming continuity between deposits and setting the stage for upcoming drilling programs.

European Resources has significantly expanded the exploration potential at its Korsnäs rare earth project in Finland, increasing the Exploration Target by up to 190% to between 18 and 32 million tonnes at 0.8% to 1.0% TREO. This growth follows new passive seismic survey results and geological modelling extending mineralisation down to -400 m RL.

Legacy Minerals has confirmed a new gold-silver epithermal mineralised system at its Mascotte Prospect, with assays showing gold grades up to 9.7g/t Au and significant base metals. The discovery lies entirely outside the current 1.2Moz AuEq Mt Carrington resource, opening the door for resource expansion.

Westar Resources has won a Northern Territory Government grant to co-fund an aeromagnetic survey over 569 square kilometres of its Bunda Creek Project, aiming to unlock structural insights critical for sediment-hosted copper exploration.

Trek Metals has kicked off its first Reverse Circulation drilling campaign at the Kuro manganese discovery near Christmas Creek, aiming to test the depth and extent of high-grade mineralisation identified at surface.

Alice Queen’s Project Definition Study for Horn Island reveals robust economics, including a pre-tax NPV of A$706 million and an IRR of 109%, underpinning plans to advance to feasibility stages.

Sunshine Metals has kicked off a comprehensive airborne magnetic and radiometric survey at its Sybil Gold Project in Queensland, setting the stage for a drilling program targeting multiple high-grade prospects including the first-ever tests at Francis Creek East.

Hot Chili Limited has reported a substantial 391.1-metre copper-gold intersection grading 0.51% copper equivalent from surface at its La Verde discovery in Chile, reinforcing the project's potential for a high-grade starter pit within the Costa Fuego copper-gold project.

Sierra Nevada Gold (ASX: SNX) reports 60% completion of its Phase 1 drilling at the As Safra copper-gold project in Saudi Arabia, with promising geological signs and ongoing government backing.
