Encounter Resources Limited (ASX: ENR) has reported a significant extension of high-grade niobium and rare earth element (REE) mineralisation at the Aileron Niobium-REE Project in the West Arunta region of Western Australia. New results from broad-spaced aircore drilling have identified a mineralised zone more than 500m east at Crean.

Moho Resources Ltd (ASX: MOH) is preparing to commence maiden drilling at the Bush Chook Gold Project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia (Figure 1), following receipt of government approval for its Programme of Works (PoW). The drilling program is a critical step in the Company’s strategy to advance its Swan Prospect, a large and high-grade gold anomaly that could emerge as the cornerstone of Moho’s Pilbara growth portfolio.

Algorae Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: 1AI) has launched AlgoraeOS Version 2, a major upgrade to its AI-driven platform for drug-combination discovery. Developed in partnership with UNSW Biomedical AI Laboratory, UNSW AI Institute, and CSIRO Data61, the new system represents a significant advancement in modelling complex therapeutic interactions.

Mount Ridley Mines Limited (ASX: MRD) has declared a maiden Inferred Gallium Mineral Resource Estimate (JORC 2012) of 838.7Mt @ 29.3 ppm Ga (39.5 ppm Ga₂O₃) at a 25 ppm Ga cut-off across three blocks at the Mt Ridley Project, ~55 km NE of Esperance, WA (Figure 1). Mineralisation is shallow, flat-lying and clay/saprolite-hosted, with strong associations to HREE and scandium.

October 2025 marked a pivot for Kaiser Reef (ASX: KAU). At Henty (Tasmania), Ore Reserves rose 29% to 199 koz @ 3.28 g/t, while the plant proved ~400 ktpa—about one-third above nameplate—via low-capex debottlenecking. At Maldon–Union Hill (Victoria), shallow in-pit drilling confirmed high-grade continuity along the Eaglehawk Reef over ~160 m strike, supporting near-term underground access and platform drilling. More ounces, faster milling, clearer pipeline. Focus now: sustain

E79 Gold Mines Limited (ASX: E79) has reported a promising set of exploration results from its Laverton South Gold Project, Western Australia (Figure 1). Located approximately 130km east-northeast of Kalgoorlie, this project spans 272km² across the southern portion of the Laverton Tectonic Zone (LTZ) — one of the world’s richest gold belts.

Lion Rock Minerals Limited (ASX: LRM) has released first-pass mineralogy from the Minta Monazite & Rutile Project in central Cameroon (Figure 1), outlining broad zones of high-grade natural rutile from surface and near-surface. Results include up to 2.2% in-situ rutile and rutile making up to 71% of the heavy-mineral assemblage. With reconnaissance complete over a >5,000 km² target area and results received across ~3,800 km²

Cauldron Energy Limited (ASX: CXU) has delivered two complementary updates on the Yanrey Uranium Project in WA (Figure 1). October’s note uses fresh passive-seismic work to sharpen drill targeting at Manyingee South, Manyingee North and Koodarie ahead of near-term field activity, while September’s announcement frames a non-binding MOU with Navoiyuran that brings ISR operating expertise and potential funding pathways into the study mix.

Encounter Resources Limited (ASX: ENR) reports air-core step-outs that extend high-grade niobium more than 1 km east of the Green resource footprint at the Aileron Nb-REE Project (Figure 1), while a shallow REE corridor is emerging along the southern carbonatite margin. The program is transitioning to 200 × 80 m infill at Green East and diamond drilling for metallurgy to define resource-ready domains.

Thunderbird Resources Limited (ASX: THB) has updated its due diligence on the Springfield Gold Deposit in NSW (Figure 1), and the take-home is simple: very limited historical drilling has already cut thick, shallow gold, and the geology points to a much larger mineralised system along a 7 km structural corridor. Systematic geochem in mid-November will set up a maiden drill program immediately after assays are in.

Peninsula Energy Limited (ASX: PEN) has completed a A$69.9 million equity raise alongside full drawdown of its Davidson Kempner debt facility, settled legacy contract liabilities, and confirmed that first dried yellowcake has been produced at the Lance Central Processing Plant in Wyoming (Figure 1). The combined funding and operational milestones underpin the Horizon 2 plan and position Lance for a disciplined scale-up.

Boab Metals Limited (ASX: BML) has officially commenced Early Works at the Sorby Hills Silver-Lead-Zinc Project in WA’s East Kimberley (Figure 1)—moving from planning into on-ground activity and marking the formal start of mine development. The program covers site access roads, processing-plant foundations, non-processing infrastructure, and an on-site accommodation camp. Boab is fast-tracking pre-wet season site prep so major packages can mobilise in April 2026.
