Key Highlights

Australian Gold and Copper (ASX:AGC) reported shallow gold intercepts from Evergreen, including 16 metres at 5.1 grams per tonne.
Rox Resources (ASX:RXL) reported high-grade intercepts from Youanmi Deeps, with one hole returning 15.13 grams per tonne over 4.87 metres.
Maritana Minerals (ASX:MRT) completed final Boorara drilling, with 20 metres at 7.77 grams per tonne from 100 metres.
Each company has pending assays or resource updates that will follow the November drilling.

Three ASX-listed gold explorers released drilling updates on 5 November 2026, covering projects in New South Wales and Western Australia. The results show shallow mineralisation at Australian Gold and Copper's Evergreen prospect, deeper high-grade intercepts at Rox Resources' Youanmi Deeps, and final infill holes at Maritana Minerals' Boorara project.

Australian Gold and Copper (ASX:AGC)

Australian Gold and Copper (ASX:AGC) reported assays from nine of 21 reverse circulation holes at Evergreen in the South Cobar Basin. The best intercept was 16 metres at 5.1 grams per tonne gold from 61 metres, including 4 metres at 17.5 grams per tonne. The company holds cash of A$5.9 million and no debt, and it is seeking approvals for further drilling, with 12 holes still pending.

Rox Resources (ASX:RXL)

Rox Resources (ASX:RXL) reported the first results from its Youanmi Deeps program, which aims to convert and grow the resource below the existing pit. Hole RXDD241 returned 4.87 metres at 15.13 grams per tonne gold from 584.13 metres. The company said the mineralisation matches the expected down-plunge position of the orebody, and it intends to pursue step-out drilling next.

Maritana Minerals (ASX:MRT)

Maritana Minerals (ASX:MRT) reported the final 52 holes from its 119-hole Boorara program, located 17 kilometres east of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. The results extended mineralisation below the planned southern pit floor, which is scheduled to begin Mining in mid-2027. Boorara is a key ore source for the Black Swan Processing Hub, and an updated resource is due in the March 2027 quarter.

Final Word

The three updates show a common focus on converting or extending gold resources, though the stages differ. Evergreen remains at the assay stage, Youanmi Deeps is moving into step-out drilling, and Boorara is moving toward a resource update and mining. Each company's next announcements will show whether the early intercepts are supported by the wider drilling results.
