CuFe has agreed to acquire the remaining 45% interest in the Tennant Creek copper-gold project from Gecko Mining Company via a share issuance. This transaction will grant CuFe 100% ownership, simplifying the structure ahead of a planned 20,100m drilling campaign.
Litchfield Minerals has completed a nine-hole, 1,554m RC drilling program at the Oonagalabi copper-zinc prospect in the Northern Territory. Assay results from the program are expected in late November to early December 2026.
CuFe Ltd has entered into a binding agreement to acquire Gecko Mining Company Pty Ltd, consolidating its interest in the Tennant Creek Copper Project from 55% to 100%. This all-scrip transaction, valued at approximately A$83.2 million, significantly increases CuFe's attributable resource base to 405kt copper, 544koz gold, 16.5kt bismuth, and 2.9Moz silver, while removing joint venture complexity. The Tennant Creek Project hosts a large-scale, high-grade JORC 2012 Mineral Resource of 23.5Mt at 1.73% Cu and 0.72g/t Au, with 71% in the Indicated category, and is supported by strategic shareholders and ongoing exploration.
CuFe Ltd has entered into a binding agreement to acquire 100% ownership of the Tennant Creek Copper-Gold-Bismuth Project by acquiring the remaining 45% interest held by Gecko Mining Company Pty Ltd. The transaction, valued at 1.6 billion new shares, will consolidate CuFe's control over the project's significant copper, gold, silver, and bismuth resources.
Tennant Minerals Limited has commenced a multi-stage diamond drilling program at its Bluebird copper-gold-bismuth deposit in the Northern Territory, targeting major extensions and repetitions of the high-grade mineralization. This program follows detailed structural targeting and geophysical modelling, which identified a 1.5km strike-length structural corridor with potential to expand the mineralisation footprint by more than 10-fold, similar in scale to the Warrego deposit. The first diamond drillhole is testing a target 60m west of existing drilling, with further step-outs planned.
Alien Metals has consolidated four exploration licences into two at its Georgina Basin IOCG project to simplify administration. The company also held its first meeting with Traditional Owners to progress access agreements for two pending licence applications.
KGL Resources Limited's FY2026 Annual Report highlights a transformational year for the Jervois Copper-Silver-Gold Project, securing approximately A$689 million in aggregate funding, including a US$300 million PMPA and a A$300 million equity raising. The updated Baseline Economic Model confirms strong project economics with a post-tax NPV of A$839 million and an IRR of 31%, targeting first copper concentrate production in H1 CY2028. The report also details historical resource and reserve estimates and outlines a funded exploration program for future growth.
Litchfield Minerals has identified copper-bearing minerals (chalcopyrite and malachite) at surface within the Sybil target area and sulphide-bearing mafic rocks at Illogwa Creek. Nineteen rock chip samples have been submitted for assay to confirm these visual observations and refine upcoming ground EM surveys.
Tennant Minerals Limited announced a maiden Open-Pit Mineral Resource Estimate for its Bluebird copper-gold discovery, totaling 1.58 Mt at 3.00% CuEq, with 78% of contained copper equivalent metal in the Indicated category. New diamond drilling results from BBDD0050 confirmed high-grade gold, copper, and bismuth mineralization, extending the zone down-plunge. Historical metallurgical test work demonstrated excellent copper recoveries of up to 90% into a high-grade concentrate.
Litchfield Minerals has secured a Topdrill rig to commence an 8-10 hole drilling program at the Oonagalabi Main Zone starting 8 October 2026. The program aims to test extensions of known copper-zinc mineralization and refine the geological model.
