Latest Resource Definition Drilling News

Valiant Gold’s first annual report shows a newly listed gold company with $62.8 million in cash, no debt and two Western Australian projects moving from demerger to execution. The immediate test is whether Comet can be restarted while drilling at Reedy converts resource potential into something mineable.

PDI Gold has reported its first consolidated Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve statement since merging with Robex, lifting total resources to 10.1Moz and reserves to 4.8Moz. The headline growth came from the merger and a larger Kiniéro reserve, although Bankan’s development remains dependent on Guinea granting its exploitation permit.

Flynn Gold has lodged a prospectus for a one-for-three renounceable rights issue priced at 1.5 cents, offering shareholders a heavily discounted entry point alongside free options. The partially underwritten raise is intended to fund Golden Ridge drilling, a maiden Firetower resource estimate and working capital.

Sierra Nevada Gold has begun mobilising a five-rig, 25,000m exploration campaign at its As Safra Copper-Gold Project in Saudi Arabia. The program will test Central Copper’s resource potential while opening up more than 12km of broader discovery targets, with first assays expected in November 2026.

PC Gold’s Spring Hill project emerged from FY2026 with a sharply larger resource, fresh institutional funding and a clearer path towards feasibility studies. The gold explorer remains pre-production and loss-making, but its post-year-end A$75 million raise gives it substantial room to expand drilling and development work.

Bellavista Resources is advancing a 15,000-metre drilling campaign and early development studies at Pickle Crow, while assay results have been pushed into October after Canadian laboratory delays. At Brumby, continuity drilling is complete and CSIRO column leach testwork is being prepared.

Evergold Minerals has identified a new shallow gold-mineralised zone 600m northwest of the Duchess of York main zone in Western Australia. The Vanguard discovery will now be tested through resource-definition RC drilling planned for October.

OD6 Metals has submitted a Plan of Operations covering up to 139 drill pads and bulk sampling at its Quinn Fluorspar Project in Nevada. The application moves the project towards its first systematic drilling campaign, but approval from the U.S. Forest Service remains outstanding.

Rox Resources has reported multiple high-grade underground gold intercepts at Youanmi’s United North area, including 10.30m at 12.46g/t. Ore drives on two levels have also extended about 125m beyond the existing DFS mine plan, with production stoping preparations now underway.

Rox Resources has started surface diamond drilling at Youanmi, targeting resource conversion, incremental growth and deeper extensions of the high-grade United North system. The campaign could support future reserve growth and mine-life extensions, but its value still depends on drilling results that have yet to arrive.

Evergold has defined three priority gold targets at its Leonora Goldfields Project after combining 1,312 soil samples with detailed drone magnetics. The early-stage results sharpen the company’s exploration pipeline, but drilling is still needed to establish whether the surface anomalies continue into bedrock.

Corazon Mining has confirmed shallow, high-grade gold mineralisation at its Wembley prospect in Western Australia, with drilling extending the known system about 60 metres east of historic work. Seven assays remain outstanding as the company prepares follow-up drilling aimed at an eventual Exploration Target and potential Mineral Resource.
