Latest Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide Systems News

Raptor Metals has launched a multi-element assay program on archived drill core at its Chester Project, aiming to unlock the polymetallic potential of its existing copper resource in Canada’s Bathurst Mining Camp.

Catalina Resources is set to begin a 2,400m reverse circulation drilling campaign at its Breakaway Dam Copper Project, aiming to test high-priority electromagnetic targets and extend known copper mineralisation over an expanded strike length.

Sunshine Metals reveals a robust Mining Study at its Liontown Project in Queensland, targeting shallow oxide gold with initial production of approximately 75,000 ounces of gold and 654,000 ounces of silver, generating an estimated net operating cashflow of $163 million. High-grade drilling results and a $202K government grant support ongoing exploration and development.

Catalina Resources is wrapping up a 1,600-metre drilling campaign at its Breakaway Dam project in Western Australia, confirming a copper-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide system. Early results validate their targeting strategy and set the stage for further exploration.

Catalina Resources has redefined its Beasley Creek project’s Flamingo target as a copper-gold volcanogenic massive sulphide system with an orogenic gold overprint, broadening its exploration scope. The company is preparing for its first modern drilling campaign to test this promising hybrid mineralisation model.

Catalina Resources is launching a focused 12-hole drilling campaign at its Breakaway Dam Copper Project, aiming to unlock thicker, higher-grade sulphide zones within a promising volcanogenic massive sulphide system.

Catalina Resources has appointed Core Drilling Pty Ltd to commence a 3,000-metre RC drilling program at its Breakaway Dam Copper VMS Project, aiming to expand on recent promising copper sulphide discoveries in Western Australia.

Catalina Resources has verified a copper-rich Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide system at its Breakaway Dam Project in Western Australia, prompting a substantial follow-up drilling program. Concurrently, gold mineralisation continuity is confirmed at the Leghorn Prospect within the Evanston Project.

Catalina Resources’ recent drilling at Breakaway Dam validates a copper-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide system, revealing significant mineralisation over 700 metres and promising broader exploration potential across 16 kilometres.

Norwest Minerals updates its West Arunta exploration strategy following a doubling of silver prices and a high-grade discovery at Dales Gossan, setting the stage for a major 2026 drilling campaign.

Alvo Minerals’ latest drilling at the Touro Prospect within its Palma Copper-Zinc Project confirms extended copper and zinc mineralisation, hinting at a potentially large volcanogenic massive sulphide system. Assay results are pending, with further drilling planned to test deeper targets.

Revolver Resources has upgraded its Dianne Copper Deposit resource with a 140% increase in Indicated material and a 26% rise in copper grade, setting the stage for a targeted mining restart in 2026.
