Accent Resources NL has commenced an 11,568m RC drilling campaign at the Magnetite Range Project in Western Australia. The program includes 8,568m of magnetite infill drilling to upgrade Inferred resources to Indicated, alongside 3,000m of gold exploration drilling near historical workings.
Arrow Minerals Limited has significantly expanded its Pilbara iron ore landholding by over 400% to 1600km² through the acquisition of the Turee Creek Iron Ore Project and lodging twelve new exploration applications. The new ground is strategically located near major iron ore operations and hosts prospective geology, with historical drilling confirming high-grade iron mineralization. The company aims for low-capex, shared infrastructure, and speed to market for future operations.
Accent Resources NL re-released metallurgical testwork results for its Magnetite Range Project, confirming the technical viability of a dry processing flowsheet. Preliminary bench-scale tests achieved high-grade magnetite concentrates (up to 68.0% Fe) with strong magnetic iron recoveries (up to 98.2%). An additional wet cleaning stage further upgraded concentrates to over 70% Fe, providing technical support for a water-efficient processing route in the ongoing Pre-Feasibility Study.
Macro Metals Limited presents its integrated business model, combining mining services revenue with equity interests in iron ore, base metal, and gold projects. The presentation outlines a drilling pipeline for Q4 2026 through Q2 2027 targeting Yandi South, Mogul VMS, and Gibraltar East.
Athena Resources has reported excellent drilling results from its Narryer Prospect, part of the Byro Magnetite Project in Western Australia. The program intersected multiple broad magnetite zones, including several over 40m in length at Narryer Main, and confirmed mineralization at the new Narryer Southwest Target with a 31m intercept at 32.74% Fe. Metallurgical test work demonstrated the ability to produce high-grade iron concentrates averaging 67.44% Fe and 69.70% Fe, with a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for Narryer targeted for completion in December 2026.
Burley Minerals Limited announced encouraging assay results from its maiden RC drilling program at the Cane Bore Iron Project's North and Step-Out Targets in Western Australia. The program of 59 holes confirmed consistent shallow Channel Iron Deposit (CID) iron mineralisation, with significant intercepts including 7.0m of 52.7% Fe from 8m. The mineralisation remains open to the southwest and northeast, indicating potential for extension, though current drill spacing is insufficient for a Mineral Resource Estimate.
Killi Resources has commenced drilling with a second rig at the Lodestone Iron Ore Project to accelerate its 20,000m program. The program aims to expand and upgrade the existing 110Mt Inferred magnetite resource.
Macro Metals Limited's 2026 Annual Report highlights a transformative year, moving from an exploration company to one with an operating mining services division, achieving significant revenue growth and securing multi-year contracts with Tier-1 producers like BHP. The company made strategic acquisitions in iron ore and established new gold divisions, while divesting non-core assets and achieving ISO certifications. Despite these operational successes, the company remains in a loss-making position and acknowledges ongoing funding and execution risks.
Killi Resources Limited's 2026 Annual Report details the acquisition of the Lodestone Iron Ore Project in Western Australia, which hosts an Inferred Resource of 110 Mt at 33% DTR Mass Recovery, grading 69% Fe in concentrate. The company also strengthened its leadership team and completed capital raises, including a $4.2 million placement, to fund an aggressive 20,000-metre drilling program aimed at expanding the Lodestone resource and advancing its gold-copper exploration projects.
