Lunnon Metals has noted an agreement where BHP will sell the Kambalda Nickel Concentrator to Gold Fields, the company's largest shareholder. The company is investigating potential opportunities arising from this change in ownership and has restated its Baker nickel Mineral Resource.
Western Mines Group has released final assay results from Phase 5 RC drilling at its Mulga Tank Project in Western Australia, reporting broad zones of nickel sulphide mineralization with associated cobalt, copper, and platinum group elements. The drilling, which included infill and extension holes, returned intercepts such as 186m at 0.30% Ni in MTRC090 and 113m at 0.31% Ni including 2m at 1.29% Ni in MTRC091. These results will be incorporated into an updated Mineral Resource Estimate and will feed into a Scoping Study.
Ardea Resources Limited's 2026 Annual Report details significant progress for its Kalgoorlie Nickel Project (KNP) - Goongarrie Hub, securing strategic recognition from Australian, Japanese, and US governments and potential project financing of up to A$1 billion. The company advanced its Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) and strengthened partnerships, while also completing a successful A$5.34 million capital raise. The report also restates the JORC-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate for the KNP from June 2023, totaling 854 Mt at 0.71% Ni and 0.045% Co for 6.1 Mt contained nickel and 386 kt contained cobalt.
The annual report for Western Mines Group Ltd for the year ended June 30, 2026, highlights significant exploration progress at its flagship Mulga Tank Ni-Co-Cu-PGE Project in Western Australia. The company completed two further phases of drilling, with 37 holes totaling over 12,500m, yielding high-grade nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE intercepts, notably a deep 116m at 0.50% Ni intersection in MTRC009. WMG also successfully raised $3.7 million during the year and an additional $2.7 million post-year-end, and rationalized its project portfolio by divesting two projects and acquiring two new nickel-copper focused tenements.
Karora Resources announced strong initial drill results from its 50C infill drilling program at the Beta Hunt mine, including 8.2% Ni over 5.1 metres (true width) and 12.0% Ni over 2.9 metres (true width). These high-grade nickel intercepts are expected to upgrade and extend the 50C Nickel Mineral Resource, which remains open along strike. The drilling program aims to increase confidence in the resource for future mine production.
Huntsman Exploration has announced exceptional drill results from the Tulloch Prospect at the Canegrass Ni-Cu-Co Project in Western Australia. The results include a 26.55m intercept at 1.4% Ni and a high-grade 1.55m copper-rich intercept at 5.2% Cu.
Huntsman Exploration Inc. has completed its 5,000m drilling program at the Canegrass Nickel Project in Western Australia, reporting visually encouraging results from RC and diamond drilling. However, all assays are pending with a 9-12 week turnaround time. The release also highlights several historical drill intercepts from 2018 and 2021, which are not new information.
Huntsman Exploration has commenced a 5,000m drilling program at the Canegrass Nickel Project in Western Australia using both RC and Diamond rigs. The program aims to expand existing targets and test new anomalies in the northeast.
