East Star Resources is utilizing a partner-funded model in Kazakhstan to advance its copper and gold assets while minimizing shareholder dilution. The company is currently conducting resource drilling at Verkhuba to support a mining licence application and has commenced drilling at Rulikha to verify historical VMS data.
Arras Minerals announced new drill results from its Elemes Project in Kazakhstan, highlighting a broad 574-meter intercept at 0.40% copper equivalent at Berezski Central and a high-grade 22.8-meter intercept at 5.37 g/t gold at the K-Ozek epithermal target. These results support an emerging large porphyry copper-gold system and a well-preserved epithermal gold system, with potential for a deeper porphyry beneath K-Ozek. The company continues its 40,000-meter diamond drill program, with some lab turnaround times still extended.
Central Asia Metals reported strong third-quarter production at its Sasa mine, with zinc-in-concentrate up 18% and lead up 21%. Copper production at Kounrad remains on track for annual targets, supported by higher realized copper prices and positive maiden drilling results at Yuzhnoe.
Arras Minerals has defined two large, untested copper-gold target corridors extending up to 3.5 km north of the Berezski deposits using top-of-bedrock (KGK) drilling. The results show strong gold and copper geochemistry coincident with magnetic lows, suggesting hydrothermal alteration and potential concealed porphyry mineralization. The company also appointed Dr. Farhad Bouzari as Principal Geoscientist.
East Star Resources has signed a binding Heads of Agreement for a fully free-carried joint venture at its Rulikha copper project in Kazakhstan. This adds a second non-dilutive development path alongside the Xinhai-funded Verkhuba project and the Endeavour gold exploration JV.
Sarytogan Graphite has reported the first assay results from its 2026 diamond drilling at the Ilksan prospect in Kazakhstan. The results confirm copper porphyry-style mineralisation, including a 229m intercept at 0.14% Cu and several higher-grade sub-intervals.
Arras Minerals reported significant porphyry copper-gold drill results at the Berezski North target, including a 568.9m interval at 0.33% CuEq. The company also announced a new strategic shareholder that acquired an 8.3% stake from Teck Resources.
Arras Minerals has reported significant broad copper-gold porphyry mineralization at the Berezski North target, including a 568.9m interval at 0.33% CuEq. The company also announced the acquisition of an 8.3% strategic stake by a new mining company from Teck Resources.
Arras Minerals announced that a strategic investor has acquired an 8.3% stake in the company from Teck Resources. Simultaneously, the company reported significant drill results from the Elemes Project in Kazakhstan, including a 568.9m intercept at 0.33% CuEq.
Arras Minerals has reported significant drill results from the Berezski North Target at the Elemes Project in Kazakhstan. The results include a 935.9m intercept grading 0.71% CuEq from surface, with a high-grade zone of 214.9m at 1.42% CuEq starting at 162.1m depth.
