Iltani Resources has successfully completed initial ore sorting testwork on a 5-tonne bulk sample of Orient diamond drill core using TOMRA's DE-XRT technology. The process yielded a 22% product mass, and sorted material has been dispatched to Core Metallurgy for upcoming flotation testwork and assay analysis.
Maronan Metals Limited presented an investor update at the Australian Gold Conference, highlighting its Maronan Silver-Lead and Copper-Gold Project in Queensland. The company reported positive metallurgical testwork results for both lead-silver and copper-gold flotation, achieving high recoveries and concentrate grades. The presentation also emphasized a recent A$22 million strategic investment by Kinterra Capital, ongoing 40,000m drilling to support an updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Pre-Feasibility Study in H2 FY27, and compelling economics from a prior PEA.
Maronan Metals has secured firm commitments for a $20 million placement to accelerate its flagship silver-lead and copper-gold project towards a Definitive Feasibility Study. The funds will support expanded drilling, engineering, and metallurgical testing. Recent drill results have also highlighted high-grade silver-lead and copper-gold intercepts.
Tartana Minerals has appointed new executive chairman Sonny Didugu following a board spill, with a focus on re-evaluating its North Queensland assets. The company has commenced new drilling at the Nightflower silver prospect and is working to unlock value across its copper, zinc, and tin-tungsten portfolio.
Ballymore Resources Limited has announced high-grade silver-lead-zinc-indium drill results from the Torpy's discovery within its Ruddygore Project in North Queensland. Key intercepts include 16m at 36.5 g/t silver, 1.3% lead, 2.4% zinc, and 2.5 g/t indium from 12m downhole in BTPRC022, with a high-grade sub-interval of 1m at 207.7 g/t silver, 9.9% lead, and 12.5% zinc. These results extend shallow mineralization and have been incorporated into an updated 3D geological model to refine exploration targets.
Iltani Resources has secured firm commitments for a $4.6 million equity placement at $0.39 per share. The proceeds will be used to accelerate the Orient Resource Extension Drilling Program, targeting 145 drill holes to grow the Orient Mineral Resource.
Iltani Resources has announced the date for its Annual General Meeting, scheduled for 26 November 2026. The release also provides a summary of the Orient Project's JORC Mineral Resource estimate, totaling 62.5 Mt at 81.5 g/t Ag Eq.
Maronan Metals Limited presented an investor update for its Maronan Silver Project in Queensland, highlighting a significant mineral endowment of 33.1 Mt Silver-Lead Resource (115 Moz Ag, 2 Mt Pb) and 32.0 Mt Copper-Gold Resource (271 kt Cu, 649 koz Au). The company reported compelling Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) results, with an NPV8% of A$908 million at spot prices, based on a small portion of the total resource. Recent achievements include a A$22 million strategic placement by Kinterra Capital, the granting of a Mineral Development Licence, and positive metallurgical testwork results for both silver-lead and copper-gold.
Iltani Resources Limited reported a transformational year in its 2026 Annual Report, highlighted by the maiden JORC compliant Mineral Resource Estimates for its Orient Silver-Indium Project. The combined MRE stands at 62.5Mt at 82 g/t Ag Eq., confirming it as Australia’s largest known silver-indium deposit. The company also secured an A$8 million investment from the Queensland Investment Corporation, comprising non-dilutive funding and an equity placement, and progressed its largest drilling program to date.
Ballymore Resources has reported further high-grade silver-lead-zinc-indium assay results from its Torpy’s discovery in North Queensland, extending mineralization towards the surface. Intercepts include 2m at 334.0 g/t Ag, 15.61% Pb, 19.08% Zn and 6.4 g/t In from 27m in BTPRC018, and 4m at 284.4 g/t Ag, 15.79% Pb, 10.40% Zn & 7.9 g/t In from 37m in the same hole. The results support an emerging interpretation of multiple high-grade mineralized shoots within a broader polymetallic system, with further assays pending.
