IAMGOLD provided a Q3 2026 operational update for the Côté Gold Mine, highlighting record mining volumes and plant throughput in September. While recoveries were slightly lower due to Vertimill downtime, the company expects an updated mine plan and Mineral Reserve estimate in Q4 2026.
Bellavista Resources has released its first assay results from the maiden drilling program at the Pickle Crow Gold Project in Ontario. The results confirm significant shallow gold mineralisation in Zone 1, supporting an open pit strategy and intersecting gold below previous pit shell optimisations.
Aruma Resources Ltd announced further high-grade copper and silver drill results from its Phase-2 diamond drilling program at the Tillex Project in Ontario, Canada. New intercepts, including 38.58m at 1.69% Cu and 4.82 g/t Ag, have extended the high-grade mineralisation to approximately 230m strike length. The results confirm the continuity of shallow, wide mineralisation and highlight the project's potential for further expansion.
Magna Mining announced robust results from its Pre-Feasibility Study for the Crean Hill Project in Ontario, outlining a 12-year mine life with strong economics including a 43.4% after-tax IRR and $251.0 million after-tax NPV7%. The study projects manageable initial capital of $127.0 million, with construction approved to begin in 2027. The company also reported updated Mineral Resource and Reserve Estimates, which underpin the PFS.
Hemlo Mining Corp. reported Q3 2026 operating results, highlighting stable gold production and improved grades despite an underground electrical substation outage. The company achieved a 95.0% gold recovery and is advancing bulk mining test work and equipment upgrades to support future growth.
West Red Lake Gold Mines has reported high-grade gold intercepts from its Madsen Mine, including 176.04 g/t over 5.3 m in the 904 Complex. The company is also seeing success with the Upper 8 discovery near surface and is developing infrastructure to test deeper mineralization below 1.3 km.
McFarlane Lake Mining has successfully repaid most of its US$15 million acquisition debt following a C$6.75 million investment and a subsequent C$17.3 million financing. The company is now launching a 50,000 m Phase 2 drill programme at the Juby Gold Project to target a 10 Moz resource, with a scoping study expected by Q2 2027.
Magna Mining Inc. announced positive results from a Pre-Feasibility Study for its Crean Hill Project, outlining a 12-year mine life with robust economics, including an after-tax NPV7% of C$251.0 million and an IRR of 43.4%. The study, compliant with NI 43-101, led to the Board of Directors approving construction to commence in 2027, leveraging existing infrastructure at the brownfield site. The project is expected to produce a balanced mix of copper, nickel, and precious metals, with initial capital costs of C$127.0 million and a net initial funding requirement of C$72.4 million after tax credits and pre-commercial cash flow.
Discovery Mining Ltd. announced highly positive drill results from its Dome project, confirming and extending high-grade gold mineralization. New intersections extended mineralization 600 meters to the south of the current resource pit, with several bonanza-grade intercepts. The results support the potential for a larger open-pit operation and contribute to a planned resource update in Q1 2027.
Inventus Mining has commenced a 6,000-metre, 155-hole Phase 3 drill program at the Pardo 'River of Gold' Project in Ontario. The program aims to expand the tested area by 196% and test extensions of multiple gold-bearing layers, coinciding with the upcoming release of a maiden mineral resource estimate in mid-November 2026.
