Xpedra targets neglected 1.7km gold intrusion in NSW

Xpedra Resources has kicked off reverse circulation drilling along a neglected and poorly tested 1700-metre-long high-grade gold intrusion at its Springfield prospect, near Gulgong in central New South Wales. Extensional and deep drilling will assess thick, shallow, high-grade gold intercepts that remain open in all directions and have not been worked on since 1999.

St George stamps foot on strategic Brazilian land parcel

St George Mining has snapped up prime industrial land next to its Araxá project in Brazil, clearing a major hurdle on the path to fast-tracked niobium and rare earths production in a red-hot critical minerals market. The land parcel, which is less than 2 kilometres from the mining tenure, is zoned for mining and industrial use.

Ora Banda reveals new large-scale mining corridor in WA

Ora Banda Mining has grabbed a saddlebag of outstanding high-grade drilling intersections, with a best hit of 14 metres assaying 18.5 grams per tonne gold. The results also included 12 metres grading 21.5 grams per tonne gold. The find points to a 7-kilometre corridor containing multiple high-grade mineralised shoots, enhancing surface mining opportunities near the company's Davyhurst Mill in Western Australia.

WA Eastern Goldfields coughs up more gold for Great Southern

Great Southern Mining looks like it has stumbled onto one of those classic WA gold stories where persistence, position and a bit of geological nous collide. Its Golden Boulder discovery near Laverton is again delivering shallow, punchy gold hits, right between some of the biggest names and deposits in the Duketon belt.

Reach tightens grip on WA Murchison gold with second mining lease

With gold prices holding near record territory, Reach Resources has locked in a key piece of the puzzle at its Murchison South gold project, securing a second granted mining lease that consolidates historic workings. The lease win also expands its development footprint and sharpens the pathway toward studies, drilling and potential production in one of WA's most gold-rich corridors.

St George drills into serious rare earths and niobium upside in Brazil

St George Mining has landed another set of jaw-dropping rare earths and niobium results at its Araxá project in Brazil, with diamond-drill assays confirming thick, high-grade intercepts from surface, extending beyond the current world-class resource outline. The company says potential exists for a substantial resource upgrade with most holes ending in strong mineralisation.

Dateline closes in on US gold feasibility study as bullion soars

As Dateline Resources nears completion of its Californian Colosseum gold project feasibility study with positive metallurgical results, the gold price has soared to an all-time high of US$4690 per ounce. New geotechnical studies have also delivered a more efficient open pit design, with higher capital input costs more than offset by the increasing gold price environment compared to the scoping study estimates a year ago.

Aguia lifts Santa Barbara gold recoveries in Colombia

Aguia Resources says a new operating plan at its Santa Barbara gold mine in Colombia is starting to show through, with December batch processing lifting recoveries to about 70% and triggering expected gold sales of about $120,000. The company has cut headcount by more than half and is targeting recoveries above 80 per cent as it steadies production and lines up exploration drilling in 2026.

Reach wraps up WA drilling ahead of gold resource upgrade

Reach Resources has wrapped up a 48-hole, 5,281m RC drilling campaign at its Murchison South gold project near Payne's Find in Western Australia. The program targeted areas within and adjacent to conceptual pit shells to upgrade inferred resources and improve confidence for open-pit development. Rock chip sampling across multiple prospects has also been completed, with assay and metallurgical results expected in February.

Amy Clarke shaping up as major new gold find for Great Southern

Great Southern Mining is onto what is starting to look like a major new gold discovery at its Amy Clarke prospect in WA's Duketon gold belt that now stretches across 4.7kms. A new round of aircore drilling has nailed the widest gold intersection yet just 8kms from Regis Resources' Garden Well mill, with a 17-metre hit grading 1.4 grams per tonne from just 20 metres.

Lindian fires up rigs to target high-grade Malawian rare earths

Lindian Resources has kicked off a drilling campaign at its North Knoll prospect. The target, which returned rock chips assaying of up to 7.15 per cent total rare earths (TREOs), is one of several high-grade carbonatite-rich lenses previously identified near the company's world-class Kangankunde rare earths project in Malawi.

Meeka delivers new high-grade gold hits at Rosapenna target in WA

Meeka Metals has delivered more high-grade gold hits from the prolifically mineralised Fairway Shear Zone, which forms part of the company's Murchison gold project in Western Australia. Rosapenna is a new drill target within the shear, with a best hit of 23m grading 1.05g/t gold, including 4m running at 4.67g/t gold. The mineralisation remains open in three directions and highlights the potential for a new discovery.

Terrain lights up Murchison with twin-drill gold assault

Terrain Minerals has kicked off a major RC drilling assault across its high priority Lightning and Wildflower gold and silver targets in Western Australia's Murchison gold province. The company says it will drill deeper and along strike of existing stand-out intercepts, potentially leading to a maiden resource at Lightning, slated for mid-next year. Terrain has also identified multiple gold targets extending over 800 metres at its Wildflower project associated with coincident structures highlighted by geophysics.

Estrella intersects high purity limestone up to 87m thick

Estrella Resources says it is on track to unearth a monster 500m tonne limestone resource at its Werumatamata project in Timor Leste after drilling logged large sheets of valuable mineralisation up to 87m thick. The company says the average width logged within the limestone blanket at the project is 55m and it also encountered an unexpected bonus in the form of calcite intersected beneath the target zone, potentially hinting at significant additional tonnes than first thought.

Red Metal strips rare earths impurities in QLD metallurgical breakthrough

Red Metal Ltd says it has made a major breakthrough in metallurgical testing of its rare earths ore from the company's Sybella project in Queensland that will result in less impurities and higher grades. The company has managed to replace the standard two-stage impurity removal process with a simple Ion exchange process that will lower costs and increase purities.
