Latest Soil Geochemistry News

AngloGold Ashanti has completed a 2,659-sample soil geochemistry program at EcoGraf’s Golden Eagle project in Tanzania, with results now pending ahead of a planned drilling phase. The work forms part of a US$9 million farm-in while EcoGraf prepares separate exploration across a broader portfolio of gold and critical-minerals targets.

QEM has ranked the Vaught-Peck prospect as the leading target at its newly acquired Garden Valley project in Idaho after reviewing historical records of columbite, samarskite and other rare-metal minerals. The opportunity remains prospective rather than proven, with no modern drilling, assays or resource estimate yet reported.

Neometals reports significant gold intersections from recent drilling at its Barrambie Gold Project, confirming a high-grade plunging corridor at Ironclad and outlining plans for diamond drilling to test deeper extensions.

Lightning Minerals has identified two distinct gold target corridors within the Western Zone of its Mt Turner Project, highlighting a 1km-long intrusion-related gold anomaly and multiple epithermal-style trends. Follow-up sampling and trenching are planned to refine these targets ahead of drilling.

Lachlan Star’s latest 1-metre PhotonAssay results at New Waverley validate broad high-grade gold zones and push mineralisation deeper, underpinning a growing structural model and fresh exploration targets.

Critical Resources Limited has secured $1.6 million through a share placement to fund exploration across multiple jurisdictions and advance early-stage battery and thermal management technologies.

Xpedra Resources has unveiled its deepest drilling results at the Springfield Gold Deposit in NSW, confirming broad, continuous gold mineralisation over 400 metres of strike and extending the deposit's known depth.

Nimy Resources has reported metallurgical tests confirming strong extraction rates of gallium and rare earth elements from its Block 3 resource at the Mons Project, underpinning its proprietary processing flowsheet and advancing its scoping study.

Golden Deeps has kicked off a deeper diamond drilling program at its Graceland discovery in Namibia, aiming to test high-grade copper-silver-zinc-lead-germanium sulphide zones analogous to the world-class Tsumeb deposit. Recent shallow drilling confirmed continuity of exceptional grades, underpinning the exploration push.

Duketon Mining has kicked off a 2,500-metre reverse circulation drilling program at its Barlee Gold Project, aiming to extend promising gold mineralisation identified in its maiden campaign and supported by strong soil geochemistry.

Right Resources has confirmed gold mineralisation for the first time at its Blue Prospect in NSW, revealing a large multi-element system with gold grades up to 1.19 g/t and extensive tungsten and bismuth anomalies.

Kuniko has identified multiple new high-priority drill targets within 1km of its Commonwealth-Silica Hill Project by integrating recent and historical geophysical data, setting the stage for resource growth and district-scale exploration.
