49 Metals will begin a 3,500-metre follow-up drilling program at its Gold Mountain project in Nevada in October, targeting extensions of the Adit Zone discovery. The campaign is fully funded and follows a maiden program in which all 22 holes intersected gold and/or silver mineralisation.

Kaoko Metals has expanded drilling at its Chalkos Copper-Silver Project to at least 15,000 metres after encouraging early observations at Otniel and a new surface copper discovery at Donkey Hill East. A second rig is now drilling Donkey Hill, while assays from the first two Otniel holes are expected within two to three weeks.

Cannindah Resources has identified a higher-tenor copper, gold and silver zone at its Appletree Prospect, with grades increasing southward toward a potential buried porphyry centre. Three diamond-hole assays remain outstanding before the company commits to the next phase of drilling.

Resource Minerals International has expanded its exploration push across Tanzania and Saudi Arabia, but auditors flagged a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue without future capital raisings. The ASX-listed explorer ended FY2026 with $2.12 million in cash after raising funds through placements and convertible securities.

Xenora Minerals has reduced its annual loss and lifted cash to A$2.17 million while advancing geochemical targets at the Dudley Lithium Project. The next test is whether those anomalies can justify drilling and support the company’s next funding decision.

Nelson Resources has made Gold Point the centrepiece of its exploration strategy, with underground drilling underway in Nevada and exploration assets rising to A$2.81 million. The push came alongside a wider A$1.17 million FY2026 loss, A$2.10 million in cash and continued reliance on equity funding.

Great Southern Mining finished FY2026 with A$4.76 million in cash after selling Southern Star to Regis Resources and raising A$4.63 million, while drilling extended gold mineralisation at several Western Australian projects. The exploration story is advancing, but the annual report also contains an apparent inconsistency in the reported annual profit that warrants clarification.

Barys Resources has opened a 1-for-1 renounceable entitlement offer priced at $0.01 a share, targeting gross proceeds of up to approximately $2.6 million. The partially underwritten raise is scheduled to close on 7 October 2026.

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.

Fitzroy River says conditions for its A$17.5 million Bowdens Silver royalty sale have been satisfied, with completion and receipt of funds expected within the coming week. The company plans to return most net proceeds to shareholders, although the amount, structure and timing remain undecided.

QMines has reported a broad 44-metre copper intersection and high-grade zinc-lead-gold-silver mineralisation from six holes at Mt Chalmers. The results support ongoing Definitive Feasibility Study work, while a hole ending in copper mineralisation and upcoming barge drilling add further exploration interest.
