Caprice Resources has confirmed significant extensions of high-grade gold mineralisation at its Island Gold Project, backed by a $12.74 million capital raise and a new multi-rig drilling campaign.

Redcastle Resources completes a 13,539m grade control drilling program at Redcastle Reef, delivering exceptional high-grade gold intercepts and identifying a 300m western extension. Sixteen new gold targets emerge across the underexplored TBone Belt as mine readiness progresses toward mid-2026 production.

Voltaic Strategic Resources has added a strategic exploration licence adjacent to its Ti Tree Project in Western Australia, consolidating its position along the Yinnetharra lithium corridor. The low-cost acquisition enhances its exposure to lithium and tantalum resources in a highly prospective geological setting.

Lincoln Minerals (ASX:LML) has received all necessary approvals to begin a significant air core drilling program at its Minbrie Copper Project in South Australia, targeting 17km of prospective copper stratigraphy including 1.7km of untested strike at Eagle Ridge. The company plans at least 40 holes in Q2 2026 to identify key targets for follow-up drilling.

Bayan Mining has pinpointed two high-priority exploration targets at its 100% owned Bayan Springs North Project in Nevada, leveraging newly interpreted USGS airborne magnetic and radiometric data. Both targets display promising geophysical and geochemical signatures reminiscent of the adjacent Maverick Springs mineral system.

Great Southern Mining (ASX:GSN) is set to restart diamond drilling at its Edinburgh Park joint venture in northern Queensland, focusing on the Mt Dillon target where a significant induced polarization anomaly suggests a large intrusive-related gold system.

Corazon Mining has pinpointed two fresh drill-ready gold targets at its Feather Cap project in Western Australia, leveraging historical data to reveal a large untested anomaly and promising shallow intercepts near established deposits.

Voltaic Strategic Resources is set to acquire a key exploration licence adjoining its Ti Tree Project in Western Australia, expanding its footprint in the emerging Gascoyne lithium province near Delta Lithium’s resources. This low-cost deal enhances Voltaic’s strategic optionality for lithium and tantalum exploration.

Patronus Resources has consolidated 100% ownership of the Guppy-Benalla area for $250,000 cash, removing joint venture constraints and positioning itself to advance exploration near its 475koz Cardinia East gold resource. Follow-up drilling is planned after heritage surveys.

Bayan Mining and Minerals has locked in a reverse circulation drill rig with Alaska Midnight Sun Drilling for its first-ever drilling at the Desert Star rare earth project in California, targeting up to 1,000 metres from June 2026. The fully permitted program aims to test high-grade surface mineralisation and geophysical targets near the Mountain Pass mine.

Critical Resources (ASX:CRR) has launched a systematic surface exploration program at the underexplored Corona Pegmatite Field, aiming to expand its Mavis Lake lithium resource in Ontario, Canada. The initiative complements the Gullwing exploration and supports CRR’s vision of developing a multi-deposit lithium district.

Belararox Limited continues diamond drilling at its Toro Central Prospect within the TMT Project in Argentina, focusing on high-grade silver-zinc-copper-gold mineralisation. Assay results from recent drill holes are pending, while exploration highlights copper porphyry potential at Tambo South and initial assessment of the El Faro tenement.
