The Day's Play Edition 174: 119m rare earths, deeper copper and a westward extension
THE COIN TOSS
Power Minerals (ASX:PNN)
119m High-Grade Rare Earths Intersected From Surface
MFSR-056 returned 119m at 4.94% TREO from surface, including 10m at 12.31% TREO and 2m at 11.05% TREO. The hole was drilled on a new section 57m northwest of the original drilling baseline and has extended the observed high-grade REO mineralisation into a previously less-tested area. The mineralisation boundary remains undefined, with further assay results pending and additional drilling required to define its geometry and extent.

White Cliff Minerals (ASX:WCN)
High-Grade Copper Strengthens Danvers 1 Continuity
DAN26047 returned 76.5m at 2.01% Cu from 49.5m, including 16m at 5.07% Cu and 4m at 11.19% Cu, strengthening the defined high-grade zones at Danvers 1. Three deeper holes also intersected visible copper sulphides below historical drilling, with DAN26050 extending the visible sulphide zone to approximately 240m vertically below surface. Assays from these deeper holes are pending, while drilling continues across Danvers 1, 2 and 3 and the northeast extension.

Midas Minerals (ASX:MM1)
High-Grade Copper-Silver Zone Extends West
T13DD034 returned 22.6m at 6.01% CuEq from 347.5m, including 10m at 11.55% CuEq, while T13DD030 returned 33.2m at 2.51% CuEq from 310.3m. The stronger-than-anticipated mineralisation in T13DD034 extends the T-13 system to the west, where mineralisation remains open. Midas now has 7 rigs operating at the Otavi Copper Project, with more than 15,000m of drilling completed since December 2025 and an updated T-13 MRE targeted for Q1 CY2027.

iTech Minerals (ASX:ITM)
Deep Gold-Antimony Shoot Extends To 270m
Deep RC drilling at the Sabre Prospect has extended Shoot 1 from approximately 100m to approximately 270m below surface, with the shoot remaining open at depth. SBRC26-017 returned 25m at 4.88g/t Au and 0.85% Sb from 242m, including 10m at 8.50g/t Au and 1.83% Sb from 245m, while SBRC26-016 returned 28m at 3.23g/t Au and 0.40% Sb from 192m. Drilling also identified a second gold shoot approximately 120m south of Shoot 1.

Lode Resources (ASX:LDR)
New High-Grade Lode Opens Montezuma Upside
Drill hole MZS43 returned 5 high-grade intercepts across 3 mineralised zones at the Montezuma Silver & Antimony Project, including a new lode at Moores. Moores Lode returned 1m at 437g/t Ag, 3.4% Cu, 2.4% Pb, 1.2% Sb, 1.2g/t Au and 3.7% Sn, while the Montezuma Lode was extended south with 1.1m at 790g/t Ag and 7.2% Cu. Drill-defined mineralisation now extends approximately 250m along strike and 200m down dip and remains open in all directions.

Manhattan Gold Corporation (ASX:MHC)
Maiden Spectre Drilling Hits High-Grade Base Metals
SPC26001 returned 6.10m at 3.18% Cu, 1.37g/t Au, 147.9g/t Ag and 1.35% Zn from 45.72m within a broader 19.81m zone containing 1.77% Cu, 0.80g/t Au, 84.3g/t Ag and 2.30% Zn. The hole also intersected a broader 82.3m sulphide zone grading 0.45% Cu, 0.21g/t Au, 22.7g/t Ag and 1.26% Zn. A second hole, SPC26002, intersected copper, gold, silver and zinc mineralisation 77m along strike, confirming the system continues beyond the initial hole.

Great Boulder Resources (ASX:GBR)
Shallow High-Grade Gold Continues Across Peak Hill
Latest assays from Great Boulder’s maiden 40,000m drilling program at Peak Hill have returned multiple high-grade gold intervals at Enigma and Five Ways. Enigma returned 9m at 4.17g/t Au from 6m, 11m at 3.60g/t Au from 44m and 4m at 8.48g/t Au from 64m, while Five Ways returned 5m at 3.70g/t Au from 149m and 1m at 20.7g/t Au from 155m. Three rigs are currently operating across the project as the drilling program continues.

Barkly Rare Earths (ASX:BAK)
Rare Earth Results Continue Across 43 Of 44 Holes
A further 16 holes produced 15 significant rare earth intercepts, taking the total to 43 of 44 holes reported with significant intercepts, with drillholes testing areas up to 23km apart. New results include 1.5m at 2,869ppm TREO and 3m at 1,578ppm TREO, including a 0.5m interval at 5,156ppm TREO. Follow-up assays also widened known mineralisation in 11 of 28 previously reported intercepts, while further assays and more than 300 planned holes are expected to continue testing the Barkly system.

Terrain Minerals (ASX:TMX)
Tungsten Footprint Expands Across Smokebush
Re-assaying and database review identified 20 tungsten intersections above 1,000ppm W across 16 holes and 5 prospects, including 1m at 0.75% WO₃ and 2m at 0.55% WO₃. A further 80 intersections above the 200ppm W lower cut-off have now been identified across 32 holes. Tungsten has been confirmed across 6 prospects covering approximately 6km by 5km, with the overall limits still undefined and tungsten assays completed on only approximately one-third of the existing sample database.

Antares Metals (ASX:AM5)
Enterprise Earn-In Adds Fourth Quinns Gold Target
Antares has agreed to acquire a 90% interest in Mining Lease M51/19, which hosts the historic Enterprise gold mine, through an earn-in and joint venture arrangement. Historical production at Enterprise averaged 19.3g/t Au, while previous shallow drilling returned 9m at 4.68g/t Au and 7m at 2.88g/t Au. The transaction adds Enterprise as a fourth drill target within Quinns, and the current air core program has been expanded to 2,500m to test extensions of the known mineralisation.

Yugo Metals (ASX:YUG)
Petrovo Land Access Secured Ahead Of Drilling
Yugo has secured 18,227m² of private land at Petrovo for 6 years, covering planned drill sites and key areas of historical drilling. The agreement provides rights for access, drilling, sampling and geophysical surveys, while also giving Yugo an option to purchase the land during the agreement term. An IP survey is scheduled to commence next week, with drilling planned for Q4 CY2026 after the survey results and subject to required approvals.

Elk Range Mining (ASX:ELK)
Maiden Hole Extends Visible Gold Below Historical Drilling
Elk Range has completed maiden diamond hole 26FRD001 at the Friday Gold Project to 336.8m, approximately 200m beyond the end of the historical hole it was designed to parallel. Additional visible gold was identified at 407ft, 455ft, 524.5ft and 767ft downhole, with the 455ft, 524.5ft and 767ft occurrences extending beyond the historical hole. These are visual observations only and do not establish grade or continuity, with assays expected in late October to early November while 26FRD002 is already underway with 24-hour drilling.
