Mining exploration advances in Arizona and Nevada

Ragusa Minerals has identified 14 priority drill targets at the Black Rock Manganese Mine prospect within its Purple Pansy Manganese-Gold Project in Arizona. Geophysical surveying via induced polarisation (IP) delineated several anomalous zones extending along the strike of manganese oxide mineralisation. The company is now planning drilling operations to determine the scale and economic potential of these untested targets.

Separately, ACDC Metals has confirmed contracts for a maiden drill program and a geophysical survey at its Mount Jackson Gold-Silver Project in Nevada. The drilling campaign, scheduled to begin in Q4 2026, will involve up to 2,500 metres of reverse-circulation drilling to test extensions of known mineralisation and explore the previously untouched 3 Shaft Zone. A 12-line-kilometre CSAMT survey will also be conducted to refine drill targets.
