Blue Bell Delivers High-Grade Fluorspar Across Multiple Zones
Maiden channel sampling at Blue Bell in Nevada returned 24m at 51.1% CaF₂, 28m at 29.2% CaF₂ and 12m at 39.7% CaF₂, with rock chip samples grading up to 98.4% CaF₂. Multiple mineralised zones have been identified across a surface footprint of approximately 70m by 100m, including a high-grade vein and broader footwall breccia and stockwork zones. Mineralisation remains open in several directions, and Blue Bell is now a fourth high-priority exploration prospect within the Quinn Fluorspar Project.

Rokeby Resources (ASX:RKB)
Sunnyside Drilling Hits 138g/t Gold at Mt Wills
Diamond drilling at the Sunnyside deposit in Victoria returned 0.3m at 138g/t Au from 139.2m in hole 26SSDH004. Replacement hole 26SSDH005B returned 0.35m at 5.86g/t Au from 71m and 0.1m at 4.73g/t Au from 127.65m after hole 26SSDH005 intersected historical workings and was abandoned. The maiden 9-hole, 2,180m diamond drilling programme is complete, with results intended to underpin a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource Estimate and guide expanded drilling across Mt Wills. Assays from holes 6 and 7 are expected shortly, holes 8 and 9 results are anticipated in mid-November, and an updated resource estimate is anticipated in early November.

Midas Minerals (ASX:MM1)
Deblin Drilling Uncovers Multiple High-Grade Copper Zones
Drilling at the Deblin deposit in Namibia returned 7.0m at 4.89% Cu, 6.2m at 3.47% Cu and 9.8m at 1.92% Cu in hole DBDD008. Additional results included 8.2m at 3.22% Cu from 498.4m in DBDD006 and 24m at 1.84% Cu from 169m in RC hole DBRC031, including 3m at 8.24% Cu. Drilling indicates up to 3 high-grade mineralised positions within the Askevold volcanics, with 3 core rigs operating at Deblin and assays pending for 11 completed core holes. Initial Mineral Resource Estimates for Deblin and Spaatzu, alongside an updated T-13 estimate, are targeted for Q1 2027.

iTech Minerals (ASX:ITM)
Falchion Drilling Extends Antimony and Hits Deeper Gold
5 further RC holes at Falchion, within iTech's 100%-owned Reynolds Range Gold-Antimony Project in the Northern Territory, extended the eastern antimony zone and intersected the main gold zone at greater depth. Results included 6m at 1.64% Sb from 54m, including 2m at 4.34% Sb, while deeper drilling returned 6m at 2.14g/t Au and 1.04% Sb from 117m. The antimony zone has now been intersected in 4 holes over approximately 70m of strike and remains open to the east and at depth. Follow-up drilling is being planned, with diamond drilling at Sabre scheduled to commence in mid-November.

Zenith Minerals (ASX:ZNC)
Every Dulcie Central Hole Intersects Gold
All 8 holes in the latest Dulcie Central batch intersected gold, including 6m at 4.14g/t Au from 123m in SRRC182, including 3m at 7.75g/t Au . The drilling is testing an approximately 600m strike gap between the Dulcie North and Dulcie deposits. Across the wider 34-hole RC programme, assays have been received for 24 holes, with final results expected in late October. These results will inform an assessment of a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for M77/599.

American Tungsten & Antimony (ASX:AT4)
High-Grade Antimony and Silver Strengthen Mine-to-Metal Strategy
Drilling at the Little Emma prospect in Utah returned 1.49m at 18.23% Sb from 28.35m, including 0.36m at 68.1% Sb. Selective rock-chip sampling at White Spar returned silver grades of up to 432g/t Ag from in-situ material, while a historical spoil sample returned 665g/t Ag. These selective samples do not establish representative grades across the deposit. Del Sol has produced antimony ingot grading 99.8% Sb from White Spar material, exceeding Regulus II specifications. AT4 is assessing the technical and commercial feasibility of a dedicated silver recovery circuit. The proposed acquisition of White Spar remains subject to completion.

Broken Hill Gold (ASX:BH6)
Icebreaker Defines Large Geophysical Targets Beneath Gold-Copper Hits
Geophysical surveys at Icebreaker defined a ~1.5km² chargeability anomaly coincident with a ~1km² high-intensity magnetic anomaly, encompassing high-grade gold-copper intersections from previous RC drilling. The anomalies provide targets to test potential depth and strike extensions of the known mineralisation. A 3,000m diamond and RC drilling programme is commencing to test these targets, with first results expected in late November. Further geophysical surveys are also underway or commencing across Vertigo, Mary Mine, Green & Gold and Wilkins.

Estrella Resources (ASX:ESR)
Werumata Upgrades 274Mt Limestone Resource to Indicated
Estrella's updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Werumata Limestone Project in Timor-Leste comprises 274Mt Indicated and 259Mt Inferred, for a total central estimate of 533Mt. Approximately 70% of the 391Mt Product 1 limestone resource is now classified as Indicated, following an expanded bulk density programme. The total estimate decreased from 621Mt to 533Mt due to changes in estimated bulk densities, with the modelled mineralised volume unchanged. The updated classification provides a technical basis for further development studies and evaluation of potential production scenarios.

Golden Dragon Mining (ASX:GDR)
Stella Range Defines 2.2km Untested Gold Anomaly
Auger drilling at the Stella Range Gold Project identified a coherent gold-in-soil anomaly extending approximately 2.2km along strike. Analysis of 719 samples returned a peak gold value of 73ppb Au, with associated copper and tellurium pathfinder geochemistry defining a northwest-trending anomaly in a magnetic low setting. The target lies approximately 12km along strike from Brightstar's Lord Byron gold deposit and has not been tested by drilling. Golden Dragon plans further geological interpretation and target refinement to guide the next phase of exploration.
