Latest Silver Gold News

Mamba Exploration has secured a $6.0 million placement, attracted a $500,000 investment from New Murchison Gold and added former Westgold founder Peter Cook as a strategic adviser. The funding will support drilling at Meeka East and a staged earn-in over the early-stage Poison Hills project, where selective rock chips returned high silver, gold, copper and lead grades.

Patriot Resources has completed 38 surface samples at its Tassa silver-gold project in Peru, where mapping identified a 120-metre breccia interpreted as the upper part of a preserved epithermal system. The company is now moving south into the newly acquired Tassa 5 tenement while its maiden drill permit application progresses.

Patriot Resources has established a 31.4 million-ounce silver-equivalent inferred resource at its Tassa project in Peru, but the company's annual report warns that further capital raising is required to sustain operations. The explorer recorded a $4.82 million loss and remains dependent on final drilling approvals.

KGL Resources says its Jervois copper project is funded through construction and ramp-up after a US$300 million Wheaton agreement and a post-year-end A$300 million equity raising. The company is now targeting a final investment decision in the second half of 2026 and first copper concentrate in 2028, while its annual report highlights the execution risks still attached to that timetable.

Chalice Mining is moving Gonneville from study to execution, with a feasibility study underway and a targeted investment decision in the first half of 2028. The project’s sizeable economics sit alongside a A$26.2 million annual loss and a funding task that remains unresolved.

Australian Gold and Copper expanded its exploration footprint and advanced major targets during FY2026, but the campaign came with a larger loss and a sharp reduction in cash. The company now has a 38.5Moz silver-equivalent Achilles resource, a newly acquired Junee gold portfolio and further funding demands ahead.

Pivotal Metals’ maiden scoping study gives its Horden Lake copper project a projected post-tax NPV of A$920 million against A$411 million of pre-production capital. The headline returns are strong, but the project remains a preliminary study with no Ore Reserve, material Inferred Resource exposure and more than A$400 million still to raise.

Renegade Exploration has sharpened its portfolio around Nevada and Yukon exploration, with several targets moving towards drilling after high-grade surface results. But the ASX-listed junior ended FY2026 with just $59,869 in cash and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

Unico Silver has secured approximately A$60 million from institutional and sophisticated investors, taking pro forma cash to about A$110 million. The capital will fund 20,000 metres of drilling, a maiden PFS due in January 2027 and continued advancement of a DFS through 2027.

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.

Diablo Resources has exercised its option over 101 patented claims covering the historic Horn Silver Mine in Utah, bringing its broader 202-claim, 13.2 square kilometre project package together. The company will now rank targets, advance permitting and prepare for a maiden Horn Silver drilling program in 2026.

Chalice Mining has confirmed a broad copper-silver-gold system at its Deep Blue target in Western Australia, with first-pass drilling extending across 1.2km of strike. The early results are low grade, but the system remains open within a largely untested 30km exploration belt.
