Terrain Minerals' Lightning prospect in WA's Mid West has burst to life with a standout 21.8g/t gold hit fuelling confidence the system is larger than first thought and primed to grow along strike and at depth. Latest results include 8m at 6.87g/t gold from 76m and a best 1-metre grade of 21.8g/t gold. With a mining lease secured and more assays still to come, a maiden JORC resource is due in July.

Corazon Mining is preparing for a rapid site reconnaissance follow-up after a historical data review identified two significant gold targets at its Feather Cap project in Western Australia. The desktop study highlighted a completely untested 3.5-kilometre gold anomaly at its Trudgeon Well prospect and a drill-ready target at the company's Murphy's Creek prospect. The targets represent compelling walk-up opportunities within a proven gold province.

Larvotto Resources is on track and on budget for the first production of antimony ingots at its NSW Hillgrove antimony-gold mine by mid-year.

Plant refurbishment and underground development are advancing.

Dalaroo Metals intends to significantly expand its strategic footprint in southwest Greenland after applying for two additional exploration licences, bringing its total landholding to nearly 260 square kilometres.

Neometals has executed a binding joint venture with BML Ventures to develop its Ironclad gold deposit at Barrambie in Western Australia, paving the way for near-term production.

Beetaloo Energy has bagged $66.3 million in fresh capital in a strongly supported placement and secured a $45M infrastructure facility, locking in a fully funded runway to first pilot gas from its Carpentaria project in Q4 2026.

Corazon Mining has finished its maiden four-hole diamond drilling program at the Two Pools gold project in Western Australia.

The company is now preparing for an extensive follow-up reverse circulation drilling program in the second quarter.
