QMines has reported significant copper-rich drill intercepts at the Mt Chalmers project in Central Queensland, including 44m at 1.03% Cu. The drilling is intended to support the advancing Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) through both geological data and fresh metallurgical samples.
Cannindah Resources is expanding its drilling program with a second diamond rig to test strike and depth extensions of the Cannindah Breccia. An updated mineral resource estimate incorporating 45 new drill holes is expected by the end of September.
Breakthrough Minerals has reported high-grade copper-equivalent drill results from its Turpentine deposit, extending the mineralised system north of the current resource boundary. The results include a 5m intercept at 3.75% CuEq, supporting the company's strategy to grow its existing resource base.
Maronan Metals has intersected strong shallow copper-gold mineralisation to the north of its existing resource at its namesake project in Queensland. The drill results from holes MRN26004 and MRN26008 include high-grade copper-gold and silver-lead intercepts, supporting potential resource expansion and upgrading.
New Frontier Minerals has confirmed high-grade copper mineralization at its Mt. Storm prospect in Queensland, Australia. Surface pit and dump samples returned copper grades ranging from 0.49% to 6.88% Cu.
Global Energy Metals' partner, Metal Bank, has signed a non-binding MOU with Austral Resources to assess toll treatment of Millennium Project ore at the Rocklands processing facility. The facility is located 19km from the project, offering potential for regional consolidation in the Cloncurry-Mt Isa region.
Global Energy Metals' partner, Metal Bank Ltd., has commenced a diamond drilling program at the Millennium Project in Queensland, Australia, funded by a $250k government grant. The program targets graphite extensions and metallurgical sampling, while a new mining lease application has been lodged to include the 'Gap Zone' mineralisation.
Essex Minerals has completed a Phase 1 IP geophysical program at the Mt Turner Cu-Mo-Au project in Queensland, identifying significant chargeability anomalies indicative of porphyry-style mineralization. These anomalies coincide with known gold, copper, and molybdenum soil anomalies and define new near-surface and deeper drilling targets. The company is also under an option agreement with Meryllion Resources to fund further exploration.
Essex Minerals has entered into an option and earn-in joint venture agreement with Meryllion Resources for the Mt Turner (Cu-Mo) and Drummer Fault (Au) projects in Queensland, Australia. The agreement provides for up to $3.8 million in staged exploration funding to earn a 70% interest in the projects.
Essex Minerals has identified a large copper-molybdenum porphyry target at the Mt Turner project in Queensland, Australia, using soil geochemistry and aeromagnetic data. The company is also in discussions with an Australian group regarding a potential joint venture and spin-out of the property.
