BOA Resources has returned high-grade copper intersections from all six initial RC holes at Ricci Lee, including 14 metres at 2.49% copper and 15 metres at 2.25%. Assays from 40 further RC holes and 92 aircore holes across five other prospects remain pending.

Sunshine Metals has upgraded the economics of its Liontown project, forecasting A$179.8 million in net operating cashflow after capital over a 66-month mine life. The study points to mid-2027 mining, but depends on approvals, Mt Moss commissioning and a preliminary plan carrying a plus or minus 30% accuracy range.

Megado Minerals has returned a shallow copper-silver intersection from the first hole of its maiden drilling campaign in northern Spain, including 0.25 metres at 1.39% copper and 18g/t silver. Two further holes have been completed but remain unassayed, leaving the broader size and continuity of the mineralisation unresolved.

Coda Minerals has reported average copper and silver extraction of 94.4% and 95.9% respectively from representative Emmie Bluff samples, strengthening the case for its preferred whole-ore chloride leach process. The preliminary laboratory results also suggest Elizabeth Creek site water is suitable for processing, although cobalt recovery, plant-scale performance and capital requirements remain unresolved.

Olympio Metals has started a roughly 1,500-metre maiden diamond drilling program at its Jacknife silver project in Idaho, targeting mineralisation linked to more than 3.2 million ounces of historical silver production. The campaign is significant, but the company must still verify old data before it can establish a JORC-compliant resource.

Antipa Minerals has extended gold-copper-lead-silver mineralisation across 2.2km at Tim’s Dome, sharpening focus on a large untested electromagnetic conductor. Surface diamond drilling is now underway on the 1.2km target, which remains unproven despite encouraging surrounding assays.

FMR Resources will sell its Fairfield copper-gold project to unlisted MFM Resources for $200,000 in MFM shares, subject to approvals, due diligence and MFM securing a proposed ASX listing. The deal marks a sharper concentration of FMR’s resources on its Chilean portfolio, but leaves shareholders exposed to the uncertainty of a future IPO and a non-cash consideration.

TechGen Metals has emerged from a year of lower losses and stronger cash reserves with three gold projects lined up for drilling, while copper and base-metal targets remain in the portfolio. The funding runway is improved, but the August capital raising and new director securities add a material dilution question.

Pivotal Metals has used its FY2026 annual report to position Horden Lake as a larger, better-understood Quebec copper project, with a maiden scoping study targeted for September. The company also expanded Belleterre drilling and added the Bambino project, but remains loss-making and dependent on further funding.

QMines is spending $2.388 million on two freehold properties that remove a key access constraint over the Botos deposit near Mt Chalmers. The acquisition clears the way for modern drilling, but the deposit remains an untested conceptual opportunity rather than a defined resource.

Caravel Minerals has delayed the Caravel Copper Project’s Definitive Feasibility Study from September to the fourth quarter of 2026. The extra time will fund further metallurgical testing, groundwater modelling, environmental updates and a detailed review of the process plant capital estimate.

Antipa Minerals has expanded its Minyari Project resource to 3.6 million ounces of gold equivalent and advanced key pre-feasibility work, including conventional processing and deeper open-pit studies. The progress comes with an auditor-highlighted going-concern uncertainty as the company prepares for further exploration and development spending.
