Rox Resources has commenced an 8,000 metre drilling campaign aimed at extending the defined mineral resources and testing new regional greenfields exploration targets at its Mt Fisher gold project near Wiluna, WA. The area holds a mineral resource of 1.025 million tonnes grading 2.7g/t for just over 89,000 ounces of gold and the drilling will target geological structures potentially hosting higher-grade primary gold mineralisation at depth.

Caravel Minerals expects copper concentrate from its namesake project in WA’s Wheatbelt region to be sought after by copper smelters due to the very low levels of impurities such as arsenic. The concentrate was produced using composite samples from the project and contained about 25% copper while other impurities such as cadmium, selenium, antimony and lead were well below typical threshold limits for smelters.

Hammer Metals has generated high-grade gold and copper results from a rock chip sampling program at its Malbon project near Mount Isa, Queensland. The El Questro prospect produced values up to 99.4g/t gold and 5.96% copper in iron-rich quartz veining and requires follow up work. Numerous copper-bearing zones with gold mineralisation were also defined at the Mt Philp Breccia project to the west.

Legend Mining has recorded encouraging multi-element geochemical assays from its latest infill aircore drilling of an EM anomaly at the Worsley prospect in the Fraser Range, WA. Best results included 28m @ 0.17% zinc and 1.37g/t silver from 40m down-hole, which incorporated a higher-grade section of 4m @ 0.71% zinc and 1.71g/t silver from 52m and may indicate proximity to a volcanogenic massive sulphide ore system.

Drilling has indicated that Hot Chili’s Cortadera copper-gold deposit in Chile may have greater growth potential than anticipated after confirming a large northern extension to the main porphyry centre, Cuerpo 3. The company is completing a second diamond hole to test the extent of a potential higher-grade core at Cuerpo 3 and plans to drill two further holes to determine the potential for an increasing grade profile with depth.
