Big Hits: Caprice, Stavely and Patriot Battery Metals
Other interesting drill hits were reported at Stavely Minerals' Fairview prospect in Victoria, while Patriot Battery Metals made a big caesium discovery in Quebec, Canada.
Caprice Resources (ASX: CRS)
Project: Island gold project, WA's Mid West region
Hit:
11m at 17.3g/t gold, including 9m at 21g/t from 170m
Caprice Resources struck gold with its standout 11m at 17.3g/t gold intercept, including 9m at 21g/t from 170m downhole at the company's Vadrian's target within its Island gold project in the Meekatharra–Cue–Mt Magnet greenstone belt in WA's Murchison region.
The high-grade hit from the company's first batch of samples from its phase three reverse circulation (RC) drilling program confirms the Evening Star lode as a significant discovery, doubling its strike length to 350m and extending mineralisation at depth, where it remains open.
Supporting this top result, additional high-grade gold intercepts from the final batch of phase three assays at Vadrian's include 9m at 14.8g/t from 154m, including 1m at 33.1g/t from 159m; 5m at 18.3g/t from 180m, including 1m at 62.6g/t; and 10m at 10.9g/t from 123m, including 1m at 63.9g/t.
Earlier phase three gold results also romped home with 10m at 11.7g/t from 175m, including 8m assaying 14.4g/t from 176m downhole and 9m at 8.3g/t from 94m.
Further potential is shown at the company's New Orient prospect, 1 kilometre south, in a notable intercept of 21m at 1.3g/t from 29m, including 2m going 9.2g/t gold from 46m. The mineralisation remains open to the north and down dip.
Caprice holds more than 1800 square kilometres of prospective WA ground, with 240 square kilometres across its Murchison gold projects, including the Island, New Orient and Cuddingwarra.
Island spans a 5km-long, 700m–1000m-wide corridor, which hosts gold in units of banded iron formation up to 30m thick, a key host rock in the Murchison Goldfields.
High-grade gold is associated with north-northwest / south-southeast trending en echelon vein sets and major crosscutting structures, mirroring the region's more-than-15-million-ounce total gold endowment in deposits.
The company has also discovered two new mineralised zones - West Star, with 2m at 3.2g/t gold from 132m and at Condenser, with 2m at 1.1g/t from 90m which reinforce the potential for other stacked lodes across the corridor.
Drilling to date has been limited to 170m below surface, leaving significant depth potential unexplored.
The company's phase three drilling program comprised 43 RC holes for 7024m and was completed in June. All assays have been received and the results confirm increasing gold grades at depth, satisfyingly validating the geological model.
Additionally, laboratory analysis confirms free gold in the intercepts, which will facilitate processing and refining.
Island's structural and geological setting, with banded iron formation units and crosscutting structures, is in keeping with other high-grade deposits in the Murchison.
Caprice is steadily moving towards a maiden mineral resource estimate with a fully funded phase four program of 20,000m of air core, RC and diamond drilling planned for September. The company anticipates the work will extend high-grade zones and provide structural data.
An air core program slated for the last quarter of the year will target an undrilled 1000m-long banded iron formation trending beneath Lake Austin's sediment cover, between New Orient and Vadrian's, as well as high-titanium basalt stratigraphy on Island's western edge, which is similar to the Break of Day deposits.
The Island project contains many of the historic mines in the Lake Austin gold mining centre and comprises two granted mining leases and one exploration licence. It sits between Ramelius Resources and Westgold Resources' processing infrastructure in the heart of the Murchison gold district.
Meanwhile, Caprice's 1500-square-kilometre West Arunta project, targeting gold, copper and niobium/rare earths, is capitalising on its multiple high-priority targets. These include analogues of WA1's Luni discovery and its 200Mt at 1 per cent niobium pentoxide mineral resource.
With high-grade hits at Vadrian's, new zones at West Star and Condenser, and a strategic mix of RC, diamond and air core drilling planned, Caprice is well-positioned to unlock further value at its Island project, potentially defining a significant gold resource in the Murchison.
Stavely Minerals
(ASX: SVY)
Project: Fairview North and South prospects in the Stavely copper-gold project
, Western Victoria
Hit:
1m at 49.2g/t gold from 10m
Stavely Minerals has uncovered high-grade gold at its Stavely copper-gold project in western Victoria, with significant results from RC drilling at its Fairview North and South prospects.
The standout assay from Fairview South revealed 1m at 49.2g/t gold from 10m within a broader 40m at 1.96g/t from surface, including 17m at 4.18g/t from 9m and 9m at 7.15g/t from 9m.
Other Fairview South results include 42m at 1.14g/t from a previous RC hole, with 9m at 3g/t, and an air core hole assaying 29m at 1.42g/t from surface.
Geological mapping and rock-chip sampling at Fairview South extended the mineralised zone 600m south, with high-grade assays from brecciated, quartz-veined and gossanous samples yielding up to 25.6g/t, 8.79g/t, and 4.49g/t gold.
Eight float samples showed anomalous gold above 0.1g/t, including 0.41g/t in massive gossan with quartz crystals.
The prospect features intermediate and felsic intrusive dykes near a gravity low tied to rhyolite intrusions at the intersection of a north-south gold trend and a west-northwest structure.
At Fairview North, 4.3km north, RC drilling yielded 59m at 1.31g/t from surface, including 27m at 2.33g/t with 3m at 10.81g/t from 19m, alongside 42m at 1.57g/t from 23m, including 8m at 4.76g/t, and 29m at 0.96g/t from surface, with 6m at 3.46g/t gold.
Fairview North's RC drilling confirmed well-developed, shallow, potentially heap-leachable gold mineralisation. Bottle-roll cyanide leach tests from 2017 indicate 72.6 per cent to 98.4 per cent gold recovery after 120 hours, and column leach tests showing 81.9 per cent to 95.8 per cent recovery.
The mineralisation aligns within a northwest-trending corridor with three sinusoidal structural zones, guiding further RC drilling to expand the footprint.
The Fairview prospects suggest a significant mineralised structure potentially spans 10km.
Stavely's forward program includes additional RC drilling to test structural geometries and composite metallurgical testwork to assess low-cost heap leach recovery options.
The company's high-grade gold hits and promising leach test results at both of its Fairview prospects signal a growing mineralised system, with ongoing drilling poised to unlock further potential in this emerging gold-copper play.

atriot Battery Minerals
(ASX: PMT)
Project:
Shaakichiuwaanaan, Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec, Canada.
Hits:
156.9m at 2.12 per cent lithium oxide; 1.1m at 26.61 per cent caesium oxide
Patriot Battery Metals has confirmed the world's largest pollucite-hosted caesium resource at its Shaakichiuwaanaan project in Quebec's Eeyou Istchee James Bay region, complementing its globally significant lithium and tantalum pegmatites.
The project, featuring CV5 and CV13 pegmatites, ranks as the largest lithium resource in the Americas and a top-tier critical minerals hub.
The standout lithium intercept is 156.9m at 2.12 per cent lithium oxide, including 25m at 5.04 per cent lithium oxide and 5m at 6.36 per cent lithium oxide from the CV5 pegmatite.
CV5 hosts the bulk of the project's lithium, with an indicated resource of 108 million tonnes at 1.40 per cent lithium oxide and 166 parts per million (ppm) tantalum pentoxide, plus an inferred 33.4Mt at 1.33 per cent lithium oxide and 155ppm tantalum pentoxide.
The top tantalum pentoxide intercept is 5.4m at 356ppm within 31.6m at 0.95 per cent lithium oxide.
The caesium discovery shines in the Rigel and Vega zones in the CV13 pegmatite. The top caesium intercept is 1.1m at 26.61 per cent caesium oxide from the Rigel zone, with another notable hit of 5m at 13.2 per cent caesium oxide, including 2m at 22.9 per cent caesium oxide.
CV13's resource includes Rigel's indicated 163,000t at 10.25 per cent caesium oxide and 1.78 per cent lithium oxide, and Vega's indicated 530,000t at 2.61 per cent caesium oxide and 2.23 per cent lithium oxide.
It has an inferred 1,698,000t at 2.40 per cent caesium oxide and 1.81 per cent lithium oxide for a total 30,599t indicated and 40,800t inferred caesium oxide.
Caesium is exclusive to CV13, with no significant occurrences in CV5.
Caesium is supply constrained and is used in drilling fluids, optical glass and atomic clocks for internet and mobile networks. Historically, only a few mines have produced caesium, often as a lithium by-product, including Sinomine's Tanco mine in Canada, the Bikita mine in Zimbabwe and Pioneer Resources' Sinclair mine in the WA Goldfields.
Power Metals' Case Lake project in Ontario recently reported a 13,000t inferred resource at 2.4 per cent caesium oxide, but Shaakichiuwaanaan's scale – with 30,599t indicated and 40,800t inferred caesium oxide - positions it as the global leader.
The project's lithium resource, the eighth largest globally, as well as a potential further tantalum resource enhance its strategic value.
Patriot is advancing a scoping metallurgical program using X-ray ore sorting to optimise pollucite recovery from the Vega zone drill core, alongside lithium and tantalum co-recovery.
Further drilling aims to upgrade inferred resources and support geo-mechanical studies and the company is planning a lithium-focused feasibility study this quarter.
Shaakichiuwaanaan's world-class caesium, lithium and tantalum resources position Patriot as a key player in North American and European critical mineral supply chains, with ongoing work set to unlock its multi-commodity potential.

Arika's search for golden game changer
Don't miss out on the headlines from Stockhead. Followed categories will be added to My News. 'Garimpeiro' columnist Barry FitzGerald has covered the resources industry for 35 years. Now he's sharing the benefits of his experience with Stockhead readers. In a $5100/oz-plus Aussie gold market there is nothing quite like a big targeted exploration program in a prodigious gold region to get the interest up. And so it is with Arika Resources (ASX:ARI), which has been attracting followers of late on the strength of its 10,000m drilling program at two projects in the Leonora-Laverton district. It is funded for the hunt after a $5 million capital raise in May and at a share price of 3.9c for a market cap of $33.5 million, Arika has plenty of leverage to exploration success. Investors won't die wondering with this one, as there will be a steady flow of exploration results over the next 6-12 months. Both of the company's projects – Yundamindra and Kookynie – are surrounded by the region's big name producers like Genesis, Northern Star and Gold Fields, among others. As recent activity in the region has demonstrated, there are plenty of options around toll treatment/ore purchase/acquisitions should Arika work up a deposit that is measured in the hundreds of thousands of ounces rather than the millions of ounces category. Arika is after the big discovery for sure. It's just that in this gold price environment there is plenty of value to be had with smaller finds. Think of it as a potential value backstop while Arika continues the hunt for the game changing discovery. Where is the game changer? Both of Arika's projects are peppered with historic workings which are obvious drilling targets. But there are also a bunch of targets hidden from oldtimers by cover. Geophysics and geochemical work leading up to the drilling program has taken what could be called high-priority targets to more than 50. Arika reported first results from drilling at the F1 Fault at the Landed at Last prospect at Yundamindra on Monday. The best intercepts included 4m at 41.56g/t from 52m and 27m at 2.45g/t from 61m, and they've served to rev up interest in the stock. F1is one of several north-east trending structures which cross-cut Landed at Last's mineralisation towards the northern end of what Arika, without blushing, calls the Yellow Brick Road. It is a mineralised structural corridor than extends for more than 16km along the western flank of the Yundamindra syncline. A 10km section of the Yellow Brick Road is dotted with historical workings. Despite its location and history of gold mining, the Yundamindra area has only ever been lightly explored. What modern era drilling was conducted by previous owners was mostly shallow at less than 50m. Before the latest drilling Arika tested for depth extensions, with the deepest hole to date at the prospect returning a super encouraging 14.8m grading 3.1g/t from 87m. More where that came from Arika boss Justin Barton said on Monday that it was important to remember that F1 was just one of the many under-explored prospects along the Yellow Brick Road. Garimpeiro reckons Dorothy most likely agrees. The drill rig motored on from F1 to another highly ranked prospect called Bonaparte (assays pending) and is now testing the Banjo's Camp prospect. As indicated earlier, assay results from the drilling campaign will be rolled out on a regular basis. Over at Kookynie, Arika shares tenement boundaries with Genesis Minerals (ASX:GMD) . An aeromagnetic survey has been completed at the Ithaca prospect, which sits immediately along strike from Genesis' Ulysses gold mine. Like the prospective areas at Yundamindra much of the prospective ground at Kookynie is on mining leases, which means if there is a near-term opportunity to monetise a smallish discovery while the search for the big one goes on, Arika will be able to act quickly.

Beyond Telstra, small cap telcos ring up the profits
Don't miss out on the headlines from Stockhead. Followed categories will be added to My News. Telstra's full year earnings soared 31%, but the nation's leading telco lacks the 'wow' factor Smaller rivals arguably have better growth prospects Tua's proposed $1.66 billion takeover of a Singapore rival will turbocharge its growth Telstra's (ASX:TLS) internal repair efforts are cracking along at a pace that would even leave self-help gurus such as Dale Carnegie and Stephen Covey in the dust. While the telco stalwart's full-year revenue edged up less than one per cent, earnings bounced 31%. Measures such as paring thousands of staff aside, Telco has been aided by a rare sector-wide outbreak of rational mobile plan pricing. Still, Thursday's result left investors nonplussed, even though they met market expectations. One concern is that customer growth in mobiles – Telstra's most important division – slowed in the second half. Telstra has a commanding 40% share of the sector. But overall growth looks elusive, as evidenced by the board's decision to launch a $1 billion share buyback. While Telstra will grab the headlines courtesy of its 1.14 million, yield-hungry shareholders, it's not the only telco stock to watch as the reporting season unfolded. Arguably there's better value elsewhere, especially given Telstra shares have gained 25% over the last year. Tuas can play at the M&A game How about a Singapore Fling instead? On Tuesday, Tuas (ASX:TUA) stole Telstra's limelight with a surprise S$1.4 billion ($1.66 billion) buyout of Singaporean rival M1. The proposed purchase shapes as transformative the $2.6 billion market cap Tuas, funded and led by TPG's creator, David Teoh. How much of a game changer for the owner of the Lion City's Simba Telecom? Citi models combined revenue of S$984 million in the current year, compared with S$178 million for the stand-alone Tua. Earnings before interest, tax depreciation and amortization (ebitda) soars to S$275 million, from S$79 million on a stand-alone basis. Still the consumers' Buddy Aussie Broadband (ASX:ABB) is expected to ring up some rosy numbers when it reports later this month. On the back of market share gains. On consensus numbers, Aussie should report revenue of $1.187 billion, 17% higher than previously. The telco's underlying earnings are expected to be $137 million, 13% higher. While Aussie lifted prices across its own brand, left its low-cost Buddy Telco's rates pricing unchanged. Citi says: 'Aussie Broadband's value proposition, solid user experience and superior customer experience continue to be differentiating factors compared to both incumbents and most of the challengers'. Super profits for Superloop The market expects internet provider Superloop's (ASX:SLC) full-year revenue to come in at $550 million, 33% better. The company in late June upgraded its guidance underlying ebitda at or above $91 million, 67% higher year on year. As with Telstra, the company's doing more bottom line with not so much top line. Citi says Superloop has 'set the tone for the rest of the industry' in terms of pushing through National Broadband Network (NBN) price increases. As part of a six-year a six-year wholesale agreement, Origin Energy is migrating its NBN customers to Superloop. Superloop's results next Wednesday should shed light on the pace of this transition. TPG has cash to spare Most of the intrigue around TPG Telecom (ASX:TPG) is what the owner of Vodafone Australia will do with the $5.3 billion of proceeds from the sale of its fixed-asset business to Vocus. S&P Global Ratings says TPG's capital needs are tapering because of an end to 5G investment and 'initiatives such as IT modernisation and business simplification that reduce fixed costs.' Once again, TPG should benefit from mobile price rises, but at the risk of higher churn and promotional costs. TPG has guided to flat ebitda of around $1.66 billion. Dipping into data centres Macquarie Technology Group (ASX:MAQ) is mentioned as an emerging force in the data centre game, having acquired land at Sydney's Macquarie Park to bolster its capacity threefold. But in the December half Macquarie still derived 31% of revenue ($56 million) and 22% of ebitda ($12.3 million) from its traditional telco business. Morgan Stanley tips total revenue of $382 million for the 2024-25 year, up 5% with ebitda edging up 4% to $113 million. Powered by data centre (and cloud) growth, turnover should climb to $419 million in the current year, up 10%. Ebitda should rise 11.5% to $126 million. Macquarie has been an outlier share price wise, falling 22% over the past year. Should the data centre sector wobble, the telco stuff is a nice hedge.

Gold Digger: There's a sector of the market doing EVEN BETTER than gold producers
Gold developers are beginning to outperform gold producers, even as the giants of the industry print cash Lion Selection Group says ASX developer/assessors are sitting on +80% gains in 2025 Evolution pumps up dividend after record year This week has been notable for the start of the gold's financial reporting season – the big one with the ASX's gold mining class uploading their financial year results to a thirsty shareholder base baying for dividends on the back of a year of record gold prices and profits. Back to that in a few pars, but for now, we're taking a look at a quarterly report that may have slipped through to the keeper for some. It's the Lion Selection Group (ASX:LSX) investor update, which has a pretty interesting statistic enclosed. Gold juniors, and resources microcaps in general have been left in the mud by large caps since the end of the post-Covid boom in 2022. But they're just starting to lead a resurgence according to some sleuthing from Lion, which has backed that sector of the market heavily in recent years. Gold producers have had a good run in 2025, outpacing the 28% lift in USD gold and 22% in AUD gold with a 40% YTD rise. But assessment and development stage companies, those looking to bring deposits into production in the coming months and years, have doubled that growth in percentage terms, lifting a heady 81% so far this year. To put that into context, the ASX All Ords gold sub-index is now looking at a 43% YTD return. Revenge of the nerds Lion CEO Hedley Widdup has largely been deploying the cash earned from the sale a few years ago of a stake in an Indonesian gold project into Australian gold names with development potential in recent years. Since January 2022 it's boasted 89% portfolio gains, with $40.9m in cash still in hand to deploy. A few months ago the fundie moved the needle on his patented mining investment clock to 5 o'clock, a sign that the next boom and end of the most recent (and relatively short-lived) bust could be near. According to the Lion clock, 6 o'clock is the point when the next upcycle begins, with midnight heralding the peak of the market and a coming bust. Lion's portfolio includes one junior producer in Brightstar Resources (ASX:BTR), with advanced developers in Medallion Metals (ASX:MM8), Saturn Metals (ASX:STN) and Antipa Minerals (ASX:AZY) all among its big winners so far this year. At the earlier stage, its gold investments include Queensland gold and copper explorer Sunshine Metals (ASX:SHN), Great Boulder Resources (ASX:GBR), NSW market darling Koonenberry Gold (ASX:KNB) and the unlisted Plutonic. Lion holds $17.9m in cash in legacy investments, largely companies with overseas projects outside the gold space, with investments made since January 2022 amounting to $73.5m. Speaking to Stockhead last week, Widdup said the market was beginning to wake up to the need to head down the ladder and look at juniors developers to access the next phase of gains for the gold sector, with commodity prices in excess of $5000/oz for months now. "I think that's probably the market waking up, maybe, to the bargain – maybe saying I've got my money in the producers and I'm recycling some money out of them into the next risk level down and I'm doing it with a perspective around who's most likely to get developed or bought," he said in an interview. M&A is one of the value drivers for these companies. Warriedar Resources (ASX:WA8) is being hunted by Capricorn Metals (ASX:CMM) in a $189 million scrip bid, the latest in a slew of deals announced across the WA gold space. Warriedar's Golden Range gold and antimony resource, including the large Ricciardo deposit, is 3km from 29Metals' Golden Grove copper, gold, silver and zinc mine and located to the northwest of CMM's Mt Gibson development. "I think that's probably helping the juniors across the space, you know, there's speculation sneaking in about M&A, the gold price set up is great already, but then that sentiment is starting to filter through." Widdup says the most strategic developer M&A targets are those juniors with more than 1Moz in resources and proximity to a growth hungry mid-tier – either geographically or via a big brother on its register. He views Antipa as a natural target for Greatland Resources (ASX:GGP), with its 2.5Moz Minyari Dome project located in the Paterson province near the massive Telfer gold mine. Another is Medallion, which has Alkane Resources (ASX:ALK) on board as a significant shareholder. It's eyeing ASX 300 inclusion after a merger with TSX-listed Mandalay Resources which will marry its Tomingley mine in NSW with the Costerfield gold-antimony mine in Victoria and Bjorkdall gold mine in Sweden. The firm also has the large Boda porphyry in its back pocket, but Medallion's Ravensthorpe gold project shapes as a much speedier, if smaller scale development with the company signing binding terms on the acquisition of IGO's Forrestania nickel plant ahead of a late 2025 FID. The other one Widdup is looking at closely, outside of Lion's portfolio this time, is Magnetic Resources (ASX:MAU) and its Laverton project, which is located next door to Genesis Minerals' (ASX:GMD) Laverton mill. "Genesis has just put its foot on everything that surrounds (MAU MD) George Sakalidis. So, you know, that was an easy one to speculate about as well," Widdup said. While MAU has been up a more pedestrian 21% YTD, MM8 and AZY have been leading lights among gold small caps, lifting 162% and 111% YTD respectively. Evolutionary science And now to the large caps, where Evolution Mining (ASX:EVN) has delivered the first major hit of financial reporting season, nearly tripling its final dividend to 13c. The $260 million payout was a positive start for gold bulls, coming on top of a 7c interim dividend and 260% higher than the 5c divvie paid out at the end of FY24. Evolution's profit after tax shined bright, up 119% to $926.17m. It's a tasty entree for ASX gold investors, with reporting season to get much busier from the start of next week. The gold and copper miner noted its average price for the year came in around $800 below current spot, with each $100m lift in the gold price equating to $70-80m in profit. The ~$400 million paid out over the interim and final dividends clocked up to ~40% of all dividends ever paid by the company to 2024. Talk about a gold boom. Those strong cash flows are expected to continue into 2026, with MD Lawrie Conway resisting the temptation other miners have given in to, keeping prices for resource and reserve shells where they are to preserve margins. He previously issued a note of caution to the gold sector at this month's Diggers and Dealers mining forum, warning that while gold prices were strong today they shouldn't just be chased higher and that at some point they will reverse.

Star Minerals (ASX:SMS) It was a quiet week for the Mid West WA gold explorer, which is planning to start mining at the small Tumblegum South gold project in the first quarter of 2026. That could be a tidy little money spinner, with pre-production costs of just $700,000 to $1.5 million predicted on a mine that would generate $9.4-19.6m in cash flow on just 11,800-15,900oz of gold production. And that's at prices ranging from $3000-3800/oz, well below current levels. Mining approvals are in train, with the new streamlined process for small mining operations under the Mining Amendment Act 2022 to come into effect with the laws on September 9 this year. There was a touch of intrigue this week, with Star's creeping share price prompting a trading halt on Thursday. It's due to end on Monday when Star exits the halt to respond to not only the speeding ticket, but also with some much anticipated RC drilling results. Only time will tell what's in store. Dateline Resources (ASX:DTR) Yet more enthusiasm for Donald Trump's (apparent) favourite ASX name this week, having ridden the wave of support from the US Department of Defense and Apple for the nearby Mountain Pass rare earths mine higher this year. Its 1.1Moz Colosseum gold mine in California sits around 10km from MP Materials. It doesn't have any rare earths resources yet, in spite of what commentary from the States and the frightfully named Truth Social might have you believe. But DTR did confirm some high priority rare earths drilling targets in a 3D magnetotelluric survey, identifying a large resistive anomaly with signatures characteristic of carbonatite hosted REE systems. Dateline, too, copped a speeding ticket this week, telling the ASX there was no new info to report outside the Monday announcement on the MT survey. We're now talking a $640m market cap and +5300% gain for DTR this year so far. Good if you can get it.
