Panther Metals Leads With New Drilling Campaign

Panther Metals (ASX:PNT) is advancing its exploration efforts with a 2000m drilling program at its Burtville East gold project. This move aims to test potential extensional zones following bonanza-grade intercepts reported in 2024 and 2022. The project is situated within the Laverton gold project, which spans an area of 265 square kilometers in Western Australia’s prolific goldfields region. Having uncovered multiple gold-rich quartz lodes through maiden drilling exercises in 2022, Panther Metals aims to leverage current market conditions and gold prices for potential monetization.

BCI Minerals Edges Closer to Production at Mardie

Despite no new announcements today, BCI Minerals (ASX:BCI) recently secured approval from the WA Department of Water and Environmental Regulation for Phase 2 of its Groundwater Monitoring and Management Plan at the Mardie salt and potash project. The company is now awaiting federal approval to finalize the prerequisites necessary to achieve production targets by Q2 FY2027. With expectations of producing 5.35 million tonnes of high-purity sodium chloride annually, alongside 140,000 tonnes of potash, Mardie is set to become the world’s third-largest solar salt project.

Aurelia Metals Enhances Cobar Operations

Aurelia Metals (ASX:AMI) aims to improve operational efficiency at its Cobar Basin operations by upgrading its tailings and processing management. This includes repurposing existing infrastructure and installing new equipment to heighten copper and zinc recoveries. Expected to deliver clear financial benefits, the project is part of a broader initiative to process up to 1.2 million tonnes of ore annually from its Cobar operations.

Rising Interest in Others: Aruma Resources and New Murchison Gold

Shares of Aruma Resources (ASX:AAJ) saw a significant increase despite the absence of new announcements. The company remains engaged in exploring high-grade gallium deposits in WA's Pilbara region, a strategic mineral critical for technological applications. New Murchison Gold (ASX:NMG) also draws attention with the recent discovery of visible gold in drill cores at the Crown Prince target, indicating the potential for deeper mineral extensions.
