Latest Soil Geochemistry News

Nimy Resources has identified a third major gold-in-soil anomaly along its 16km Corporate James Trend, while maiden drilling and ground EM surveys move ahead at the Mons Project. Early Block 3 testwork also returned 84% gallium and up to 95% rare earth extraction, although the work remains at an early technical stage.

Rapid Critical Metals has completed maiden drilling at its Prophet River gallium-germanium project, with visible sphalerite and galena logged in all seven holes. The strongest downhole intervals widened at Pad 2, but laboratory assays will determine whether the visual results contain economic zinc, germanium or gallium grades.

Caspin Resources has reported a 45% increase in contained tin at its Kelpie Deposit, with a 6.5Mt resource now sitting within an optimised open-pit shell. The explorer is moving towards development-style work while awaiting assays from deeper drilling and testing a growing list of regional targets.

Regener8 Resources has identified a 1,500m by 900m silver-zinc-lead-antimony soil anomaly at Gradina, the largest defined so far at its Srebrenica North project in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The early-stage result sits between two operating mines, but drilling is still some way off.

Perpetual Resources has returned selective underground tungsten assays of up to 12.03% WO₃ at its Nevada Scheelite project, with eight of nine underground samples above 1%. The results are encouraging but do not yet establish grade continuity, mineralised widths or a resource.

Exultant Mining has completed its maiden Balerion drilling program, with final assays confirming silver-zinc-lead-copper mineralisation and local gold enrichment. The explorer is now shifting its near-term attention to three targets across the 390km² Black Hammer project while holding A$2.729 million in cash.

Terrain Minerals has begun preparations for its largest-ever drilling program, with 86 reverse circulation holes planned across the Smokebush project in Western Australia. The 10,905-metre campaign will test both the existing Lightning resource and seven new exploration targets, but no new exploration results have yet been reported.

QEM has completed its move into Idaho, acquiring the Big It and Garden Valley projects and outlining staged exploration of historical tungsten, antimony, gold and rare-metal targets. The company ended September with $3.98 million in cash while keeping major Julia Creek expenditure on hold.

An independent ERM review has identified 22 prospective targets at Daly Resources’ Batten Project, including 11 ranked Priority 1. Hot Spring remains the lead drilling target, while a newly interpreted 12-kilometre Berjaya Corridor has emerged as the project’s most intriguing regional opportunity.

Metal Hawk’s Leinster South project produced its strongest drilling results yet, led by a 9-metre intersection grading 12.3g/t gold at the Numbat lode. But the FY26 annual report also flags a material uncertainty over going concern, despite a subsequent $1.2 million placement.

Unity Metals has opened a non-renounceable share purchase plan targeting $1 million to fund gold and copper-gold exploration in Cambodia and Thailand. Eligible shareholders can buy shares at a 15.2% discount, with attaching options subject to a later shareholder vote.

Reedy Lagoon is relying on shareholder approval for a $1.8 million underwritten placement after ending the year with $44,416 in cash and a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The recapitalisation would fund exploration, but comes with substantial dilution and a staged repayment of related-party debt.
