Arika Resources has secured up to $211,213 in WA Government co-funding to drill two 600m diamond holes at the Yundamindra gold project. The upcoming program aims to test a potential porphyry-style gold-copper system beneath the high-grade Pennyweight Point prospect.
The annual report for Bulletin Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2026 details exploration activities and financial performance. At the Lake Rebecca Gold Project, aircore drilling at Chifley identified elevated gold values up to 0.13 g/t Au in transported saprolite, suggesting a concealed primary source, with further passive seismic surveys planned. The company faced a setback at its Ravensthorpe Lithium Project with the dismissal of a Native Vegetation Clearing Permit appeal on 24 July 2025, leading to the relinquishment of two tenements. Despite reporting a net loss of $569,632, Bulletin Resources maintains a strong financial position with $7.52 million in cash reserves and $13.5 million in cash and liquid assets.
Javelin Minerals has completed a deep diamond drilling campaign testing two magnetic intrusive targets at the Coogee gold-copper project in Western Australia. While the holes have reached depths of up to 1000m, assay results are still pending.
Lodestar Minerals has announced a maiden JORC-compliant inferred gold resource of 5.9 million tonnes at 1.16 g/t gold (221,000 oz) at the Ned's Creek project in Western Australia. The resource is comprised of three deposits (Gidgee Flat, Contessa, and Central Park) and remains open along strike and at depth, supporting a significant conceptual exploration target.
Javelin Minerals has completed the second deep diamond drill hole (CODD002) at the Coogee West target, reaching a depth of 1,000m. The hole intersected a previously unrecognised mafic sequence, potentially representing the source of the targeted magnetic anomaly, with assays currently pending.
Arika Resources has secured $211,000 in EIS co-funding to support deep diamond drilling at the Pennyweight Point Prospect within the Yundamindra Gold Project. The drilling will target potential porphyry-style gold-copper extensions identified through recent 3D modelling and technical reviews.
Lodestar Minerals has announced a maiden Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate for its Ned’s Creek Gold Project in Western Australia, totaling 5.9 million tonnes at 1.16 g/t Au for 221,000 ounces of gold. The resource is entirely classified as Inferred, indicating early-stage confidence, but remains open along strike and at depth with plans for further drilling. Historical metallurgical testwork on limited samples showed encouraging gold recoveries of over 90% via cyanide leaching.
Venus Metals provided an exploration update across three projects. Key highlights include anomalous gold soil trends at the Youanmi Southwest project, encouraging metallurgical recoveries at Bellchambers, and ongoing lithium-tantalum exploration at the Bridgetown-Greenbushes JV.
Tambourah Metals announced high-grade gold intersections from a seven-hole RC drilling program at its Bryah Gold Project in Western Australia. Maiden drilling at Baxters Sth returned exceptional supergene gold grades, including 1m at 146.5 g/t Au, and confirmed a new primary gold discovery with 1m at 73.2 g/t Au. While these results are highly positive and JORC compliant, the true width of primary mineralization and continuity are yet to be determined, and drilling at Beatty Park Sth yielded limited anomalous gold.
