Black Cat Syndicate has reported high-grade gold intercepts up to 47.05g/t from a seven-hole, 4000m diamond drilling programme targeting the Axial Core Zone at its Coyote Central underground operation in Western Australia’s Tanami region. Drilling has also defined a new exploration target at depth beneath existing workings, suggesting potential down-plunge extensions to the current resource envelope. For mine planners and geotechs, the deeper target will likely require updated geotechnical models, revised ground support designs and reassessment of economic cut-off grades at Coyote.

Forrestania Resources is targeting mid-December for first gold production from the restarted Edna May processing facility in Western Australia, as refurbishment and production-readiness works accelerate. Mill liner shipments are en route, with delivery to site scheduled for the final week of November to allow reline and commissioning of the grinding circuit. Completion of the first cell of the processing circuit is a key milestone, signalling imminent wet commissioning and a rapid ramp-up path for nearby open-pit and stockpile feed.

Tungsten Mining has intersected tungsten mineralisation up to 45m thicker than modelled at the Mulgine Trench deposit within its Mt Mulgine project in Western Australia, with initial results from 16 reverse circulation drill holes including a standout 292m at 0.11 per cent WO₃. The thicker-than-expected zones suggest scope to materially increase the existing resource and may support changes to pit shell design, strip ratios and long-term mine scheduling. Geologists and mining engineers will need to revisit block models and grade-tonnage scenarios as further assays are received.
