Corazon Mining has returned broad gold intercepts from the first two holes of its Chalice drilling campaign, including 4 metres at 9.93 g/t gold. The results offer an early test of extensions south of the historical pit, with most assays still pending.

Everest Metals has converted part of its Mt Dimer gold resource from Inferred into higher-confidence Measured and Indicated categories, while mining has produced a 142,000-tonne stockpile ahead of planned toll treatment.
