African Pioneer has commenced a drilling programme in Namibia covering 119 holes and approximately 7,000 metres across the Ongombo and Ongeama copper projects. The campaign aims to extend existing resources and investigate extensions at Ongeama to support potential open-pit mining.
Midas Minerals Limited has announced new high-grade copper, silver, gold, and molybdenum drill assay results from its Deblin deposit at the Otavi Project in Namibia. The results include several significant intercepts, such as 7.0m at 4.89% Cu and 8.2m at 3.22% Cu, indicating multiple high-grade mineralized zones. The company plans to increase drilling activity and is on track to deliver initial Mineral Resource Estimates for Deblin and other deposits in Q1 CY2027.
Arkle Resources PLC announced a significant uranium discovery at its ULG target in Namibia, with maiden reconnaissance drilling confirming mineralization in eight of nine holes across a 1.4 km by 0.6 km footprint. The drilling intersected thick, near-surface uranium mineralization, including higher-grade sheets, and the system remains open at depth, showing grades comparable to regional bulk-tonnage open-pit deposits. Follow-up drilling is planned for November to further define the target towards a maiden Mineral Resource estimate.
Paladin Energy Ltd reported mixed operational results for Q1 FY2027, with U3O8 production of 1.00 Mlb at its Langer Heinrich Mine impacted by a planned maintenance shutdown and ore characteristics, leading to a higher cost of production. However, the company achieved strong realised prices of US$79.4/lb and reaffirmed its FY2027 production guidance, expecting improved performance in the second half. Concurrently, exploration drilling at the Patterson Lake South Project in Canada successfully extended high-grade uranium mineralisation at the Atlas and Saloon East discoveries, and significant permitting milestones were achieved for the project's Construction Licence.
Wia Gold Limited reports new assay results from 33 diamond drill holes at its Kokoseb Gold Project in Namibia, reinforcing underground resource growth potential. Significant intercepts include 15.5m @ 6.53 g/t Au and 20.7m @ 1.75 g/t Au, extending known mineralization and confirming grade continuity. The drilling program combines infill and step-out efforts, with results supporting the project's underground development and future resource updates.
Arkle Resources PLC announced positive first-phase drilling results from its Erongo uranium project in Namibia, intersecting near-surface uranium mineralization along 2.9 km of the Paleo East channel. All twelve mineralized intervals begin within five metres of surface, with a best intercept of 6 m at 102 ppm U₃O₈ from surface in hole R057. The results are comparable to the nearby Trekkopje deposit, and only 23% of the interpreted channel length has been tested, indicating significant exploration upside.
Kaoko Metals has reported maiden drill assays from its Chalkos project in Namibia, confirming a shallow copper-silver discovery at the Otniel prospect. The results from holes DDOT001 and DDOT002 show broad mineralised zones with notable high-grade sub-intervals.
Midas Minerals Limited announced wide, medium-to-high grade copper-silver intercepts from step-out drilling at its Spaatzu Deposit within the Otavi Copper Project in Namibia. These results extend the known mineralization to a 1.5km strike length, confirming the potential for a shallow, bulk tonnage, open-pit resource. The company also noted that initial resource estimates for Spaatzu and Deblin, and an updated T-13 Resource, are expected in Q1 CY2027.
Koryx Copper has provided an interim update on its Haib Copper Project PFS, highlighting significant flowsheet optimizations including the use of coarse particle flotation (CPF) and Jameson cells to increase throughput to 48 Mtpa. The company also reported progress on power and water infrastructure agreements and confirmed that the PFS is on track for publication by late November 2026.
