Cobre (ASX:CBE) completed its first deep diamond hole since 2021 at the Sierra Atacama copper project in Antofagasta, Chile. Hole SA_CBR_DD001 reached 986.9 metres and intersected 3.57 metres of estimated 4% chalcopyrite and 2% pyrite mineralisation from 784.90 to 788.47 metres, plus 0.60 metres of about 6% chalcopyrite and 3% pyrite in magnetite breccia from 798.20 to 798.80 metres. Cobre is advancing a roughly 40,000-metre program, with 11 reverse-circulation holes done and four rigs operating, to convert the NI 43-101 resource of 109.6 million tonnes at 0.67% copper into a JORC estimate; the asset delivered first positive cash flow on 1 July 2026.

Mt Malcolm Mines (ASX:M2M) a ouvert un nouveau corridor d'exploration cuivre-or en Australie-Occidentale. La société a identifié quatre prospects cuivre-or sur des cibles dont Braiser, où des échantillons de roche en surface ont livré des teneurs en cuivre allant jusqu'à 1,37 % et en or jusqu'à 0,44 g/t. Ce nouveau corridor élargit les styles de minéralisation et l'espace de recherche du projet. Mt Malcolm prévoit un échantillonnage systématique en surface et des forages de suivi pour tester les anomalies et évaluer plus avant le potentiel cuivre-or.

Caravel Minerals (ASX:CVV) is advancing its Caravel copper project in Western Australia, keeping the definitive feasibility study on track for September 2026. The updated ore reserve stands at 597 million tonnes at 0.24% copper, containing 1.42 million tonnes of copper. Mining Plus completed the mining study in July, supporting a conventional open-pit operation that would use a tier-one contractor for early pre-strip before transitioning to owner mining. Caravel signed a non-binding offtake term sheet with Adani's Kutch Copper covering up to 100% of copper concentrate, and secured A$30 million from Regal plus up to US$220 million in export-credit debt interest.
