Latest Resource Development News

Native Mineral Resources has secured the Estimated Rehabilitation Cost decision, unlocking mining activities at the Podosky site with drilling set for January 2026 and ore processing targeted by late February.

Great Boulder Resources has updated its Mineral Resource Estimate for the Side Well Gold Project, revealing a robust 1.02 million ounces of contained gold and setting the stage for accelerated development.

Surefire Resources reports broad, high-grade gold mineralisation at its Yidby Gold Project in Western Australia, with assays revealing up to 15.83 g/t gold over 1m and a mineralised envelope exceeding 100m. The discovery opens new drilling targets for early 2026.

American West Metals is set to launch a major drilling campaign at its West Desert Project in Utah, aiming to expand its world-class indium resource and explore high-grade gallium mineralisation. This initiative aligns closely with the US government's renewed focus on securing domestic critical metals supply chains.

Stavely Minerals has advanced exploration at its large-scale Freddy’s Find gold prospect, completing key drilling phases and preparing for further work in early 2026. Assay results from recent programs are expected soon, potentially unlocking a significant new gold discovery in western Victoria.

Boss Energy has withdrawn its 2021 Enhanced Feasibility Study for the Honeymoon uranium project due to significant deviations in resource assumptions, launching a new study focused on a wide-spaced wellfield design that could lower costs and improve recoverability.

Golden Horse Minerals has unveiled compelling 2025 drilling results at its Hopes Hill project, confirming a large-scale gold mineralised system with multiple high-grade intercepts over a 2.5km strike length. The company plans to resume drilling in early 2026 to further delineate this promising resource.

Austral Resources has defined multiple high-grade copper-gold exploration targets near its Rocklands processing facility, setting the stage for a sequenced, low-capex growth strategy with drilling planned from late 2026.

Savannah Goldfields has confirmed significant gold mineralisation at its Red Dam Prospect with new diamond drilling results, highlighting a standout intercept of 2.6m at 34.80 g/t Au. This exploration update reinforces the potential of the Georgetown Gold Project as metallurgical testwork and further drilling are set to follow.

Lodestar Minerals has defined its first Exploration Target at the Neds Creek Gold Project in Western Australia, estimating up to 300,000 ounces of gold within an open-pit framework. The company plans a significant drilling campaign in early 2026 to validate and potentially upgrade this target to a JORC-compliant Mineral Resource.

VBX Limited has reported promising assay results from 65 drill holes at the Wuudagu D plateau, revealing a thicker and higher-grade bauxite profile than previously recorded. This discovery lies outside the current resource estimate, signaling potential for significant resource expansion.

Stellar Resources has reported a significant 51m wide tin mineralisation zone at its Severn deposit, reinforcing the potential to upgrade and expand its Heemskirk Tin Project resource. Ongoing drilling and rising tin prices underpin the company’s advancing prefeasibility study.
