PTR Minerals has identified water-bearing aquifers at all three paleochannel targets tested at its Rosewood Titanium Project, addressing a key requirement for its proposed gravity-based processing operation. The company has also cleared access for infill drilling and broader exploration in South Australia.

PTR Minerals has confirmed water-bearing aquifers at all three palaeochannel targets tested near its Rosewood Titanium Project, supporting the proposed gravity-based processing route. The result improves the project’s water supply outlook, but yield, quality and long-term sustainability still require testing.

West Cobar Metals has engaged Wallis Drilling for its first scandium-focused campaign at the Salazar project, with work targeted for October subject to approvals. The programme will test shallow saprolite for higher-grade scandium zones and extensions to existing rare earth and titanium dioxide resources.

McLaren Minerals has moved its flagship McLaren Titanium Project into bankable feasibility, backed by a 529 million tonne resource and a 663-hole drilling campaign. But the pre-revenue explorer remains reliant on further funding, with the Barossa acquisition still conditional and 118.4 million options issued after year-end.

Enterprise Metals has secured $1.2 million in discounted equity funding alongside a proposed board overhaul led by mining executives Phillip Gallagher and Steven Zaninovich. The incoming team will review the company’s Western Australian portfolio and decide where its limited exploration capital should go next.

CZR Resources has expanded its exploration case at Croydon, with shallow gold at Frank’s Patch and Baskerville complemented by deeper mineralisation at Top Camp. The company has also lodged a mining lease application for its Buddadoo vanadium-titanium-magnetite project.

Albright Metals will surrender its Gabanintha mineral rights to Australian Vanadium in return for $1.75 million, a 0.75% royalty and a sharper focus on its Canadian flagship. The package includes $500,000 in cash and $1.25 million of Australian Vanadium shares, although the final share count is yet to be determined.

IperionX says its GenX continuous titanium furnace processed more than 500 kilograms of powder while using substantially less power, magnesium and hydrogen than batch HAMR production. The results strengthen the case for an industrial-scale line, although further optimisation and engineering work are still required.

McLaren Minerals has reported broad, near-surface heavy mineralisation from 61 holes at its Western Australian titanium project, led by 24 metres at 7.54% HM. The results strengthen the dataset for a resource update, but do not yet establish an Ore Reserve or project economics.

Enova Mining reduced its half-year loss to $790,000, but an explicit going-concern warning puts future funding at the centre of its rare earth exploration story. The company ended June with $723,000 in cash while advancing several high-grade exploration targets across Brazil and Australia.

Image Resources has expanded the Mineral Resource at its Durack mineral sands project by 43% to 37.7 million tonnes, while lifting contained heavy minerals and zircon content. The upgraded estimate gives the company a stronger technical base for an economic evaluation due later in 2026, although changes to the cut-off and mineral definitions complicate direct comparisons.

Austin Metals has sharpened two gold exploration models after 21 RC holes produced a standout 12-metre intersection at Brunswick Hill, including 1 metre at 12.70 g/t gold. The results also point to previously untested structural targets at Mt Sandy, although the drilling remains early-stage and true widths are not yet known.
