Latest Silver And Zinc News

Ballymore Resources has extended high-grade silver-lead-zinc-indium mineralisation closer to surface at its Torpy’s discovery in North Queensland. The latest drilling supports a multiple-shoot interpretation, but the project remains at an early exploration stage with assays pending and no Mineral Resource defined.

Australian Gold and Copper has reported repeated broad zinc-gold-lead intersections at northern Evergreen, including a peak interval of 26.4% zinc. A 21-hole, 2,593-metre RC program has also finished testing extensions to the prospect’s recent high-grade gold-silver discovery, with assays due from late October to early November.

Orbit Resources enters FY2027 with a 17.52Mt Lewis Ponds resource, a preliminary study pointing to a A$481 million pre-tax NPV and a new polymetallic sulphide discovery outside the existing resource. The gains come with familiar junior-miner constraints: a A$3.49 million annual loss, A$3.69 million in cash and further funding still required.

Advance Metals has recorded its strongest silver assay yet at the Gavilanes Project in Mexico, with drilling also returning the project’s highest-grade zinc-lead interval. The mineralised system remains open at depth and to the southwest, while metallurgical work and further drilling target a maiden JORC resource in the December quarter of 2026.

Tivan has won approval to add 50 square kilometres to its Baucau copper-gold project in Timor-Leste, securing ground over a large magnetic anomaly. The expansion comes as the company acknowledges an executive chairman’s personal X post previewed an assay announcement before ASX release and was not authorised under its disclosure policy.

GreenTech Metals has returned its strongest multi-metre copper result to date at the Ayshia deposit, with gold, silver and zinc credits included. The intersection sits approximately 65 metres beyond the existing resource envelope, although its true width remains unconfirmed.

BMC Minerals has moved the Kudz Ze Kayah project through a key regulatory gateway and reported high-grade drilling beyond the current reserve, but its first full year as an ASX-listed company also exposed the funding challenge ahead. The Canadian developer ended FY2026 with US$50.3 million in cash, no revenue and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over going concern.

Kingfisher Mining has remade itself around a 700 square kilometre New South Wales exploration portfolio, with Copper Blow emerging as the flagship after high-grade drilling. The shift came alongside a $1.16 million FY2026 loss, $1.21 million in cash and an explicit reliance on future funding.

Polymetals Resources moved its Endeavor silver-zinc-lead mine from restart to commercial production in FY2026, generating A$100.0 million in revenue. The milestone came alongside a A$47.0 million loss, negative operating cash flow and an auditor warning over going-concern uncertainty.

Iltani Resources has reported strong assay results from its ongoing drilling at the Orient Silver-Indium Project, with multiple high-grade silver-lead-zinc-indium intercepts extending mineralisation beyond the current resource.

Kingfisher Mining’s first drilling at Stephens Trig since 2017 confirms significant high-grade silver, lead, and zinc mineralisation, reinforcing its Broken Hill portfolio and strategic development options.

Kingfisher Mining’s maiden reverse circulation drilling at Stephens Trig confirms substantial high-grade silver, lead, and zinc mineralisation, reinforcing the prospect’s potential within its Broken Hill portfolio.
