Viking Mines reports a major metallurgical breakthrough at its Linka Tungsten Project, achieving a 62.5% WO3 concentrate at 59.8% recovery using combined gravity and flotation processing on a larger 10 kg sample, significantly improving previous results and validating a low-capex flowsheet ahead of maiden drilling.

Western Ridge Resources has quintupled its Keystone Project footprint in Nevada, adding nearly 5,000 acres of prospective ground with historic mining activity but no modern exploration.

Red Mountain Mining has locked in 100% ownership of the Pioneer Tungsten Project in Montana, an advanced asset with historic drilling pointing to promising tungsten grades. The company plans to kick off drilling in June 2026, capitalising on near-record tungsten prices and US government efforts to secure domestic critical mineral supplies.

Critical Resources Limited’s initial sampling at the Lammerlaw Gold Project in New Zealand has verified high-grade gold mineralisation at Devils Creek and revealed a fresh 600-metre arsenic soil anomaly, setting the stage for focused follow-up exploration.

American Tungsten & Antimony Ltd has confirmed a large tungsten soil anomaly and high-grade surface mineralisation at its Tennessee Mountain project in Nevada, setting the stage for a maiden drill program to test extensions of a fertile tungsten-molybdenum skarn system.

Independent analysis by the University of Tasmania’s CODES endorses Right Resources’ Pilot Project as a Reduced Intrusion-Related Gold System, highlighting significant gold and tungsten prospectivity in Tumbarumba, NSW.

Terrain Minerals has extended its induced polarisation survey by 4km over three historically significant gold targets at Smokebush, applying the same technique that revealed the 600-metre Lightning chargeability anomaly, with results and a maiden resource estimate due in July 2026.

Pioneer Minerals has begun restoring the Springfield Mine access road at its North Pine Project in Idaho, unlocking critical site access that will slash exploration costs and speed up fieldwork for tungsten, gold, and gallium targets.

Red Mountain Mining has produced a high-grade 51.8% antimony concentrate from Oaky Creek with excellent 85% recovery, setting the stage for upcoming drilling to define the resource along a 3km mineralised strike in NSW.

Right Resources has identified a significant high-grade tungsten system at its Blue Prospect in NSW, with rock chip assays reaching 4.3% WO3 and a large soil anomaly still open in all directions.
