White Cliff Minerals has kicked off diamond drilling at its Rae Copper Project in Nunavut, targeting extensions of a 1.7km high-grade sediment-hosted copper system identified in 2025. The 2026 campaign aims to test deeper and strike extensions guided by geophysical surveys, underpinning the project's district-scale potential.

Neometals has completed a second phase of metallurgical testing at its Ironclad gold deposit, delivering gold recoveries that surpass previous assumptions and support near-term project development.

Ballymore Resources has significantly extended its Torpy’s silver-lead-zinc-indium discovery in North Queensland, identifying four new mineralised shoots beyond the historic mine area through recent drilling. With assays pending and multiple targets open, the Ruddygore Project’s potential continues to grow.

Barton Gold has completed a 3,677m drilling program at its Tolmer Silver discovery, confirming high-grade silver mineralisation with assays exceeding 2,000 gram-metres and producing a concentrate grading over 100,000 g/t Ag without complex processing.

Xpedra Resources has unveiled robust assay results from its maiden drilling at the Springfield Gold Deposit in NSW, revealing extensive shallow gold mineralisation with multiple high-grade zones and plans for deeper follow-up drilling.

Great Western Exploration has wrapped up a 2,200m air core drilling program at its Diorama copper-gold target in WA, with assay results expected by late July or early August 2026. The company plans follow-up reverse circulation drilling at six nearby Juggernaut targets next month, followed by drilling at Baroo.

Cannindah Resources continues to push the boundaries of its Cannindah Breccia copper-gold deposit with new drilling extending the Southern Shoot and revealing wider, higher-grade zones in both Southern and Northern Shoots, setting the stage for a significant resource upgrade later this year.
