ASX-listed K2fly has had its Land Access, Communities and Heritage, Ground Disturbance and Rehab software K2fly Solutions certified as an Endorsed App by global business processes provider SAP.

Comet Resources has wasted no time in kicking rocks at its Barraba copper project in the New England Fold Belt region of NSW after only recently securing exploration access to the historic mining area. It has just completed an initial field program around the old high-grade Murchison copper mine and the Gulf Creek North prospect consisting of geochemical soil sampling, rock chip sampling and geological mapping.

InteliCare is continuing to expand its network across the east coast of Australia, signing a distribution agreement with Technology for Ageing and Disability ACT in the Australian Capital Territory.

ASX-listed West Africa bauxite hopeful, Lindian Resources, has started the next significant phase of technical analysis at its Gaoual bauxite project in Guinea as it looks to tackle the relatively high content of the impurity silica in the high-grade conglomerate deposit. The Perth-based company has just sent its geological crew to the project site to carry out all-important screening tests on Gaoual’s aluminium oxide ore.

ASX-listed Blackstone Minerals has whipped out yet another high-priority prospect from a seemingly endless production line of brownfields exploration targets at its historic Ta Khoa nickel-copper-PGMs project about 160km west of Hanoi in Vietnam. The company says its internal geophysics work came up trumps again identifying the new King Snake prospect, located just 1.5km north-east of its flagship Ban Phuc disseminated sulphide deposit.

Aruma Resources has kicked off its gold hunt in WA, with drilling commencing at its Saltwater project in the Ashburton Basin, south-west of Newman.

Drilling is expected to be completed before Christmas, with results in early January 2021.

ASX-listed gold explorer, Surefire Resources, has picked up the first of several tenements it is looking to secure near the town of Perenjori in the Mid West region of WA.

ASX-listed Kalgoorlie gold miner, Horizon Minerals, has cranked out further promising near-surface drill intersections from one of the four core satellite deposits supplementing its advancing Boorara gold project 10km east of Kalgoorlie-Boulder.

Dampier Gold looks set to launch into a second phase of a geochemical targeting program across its Credo Well joint venture north of Kalgoorlie in the Eastern Goldfields of WA.

K2fly has wasted no time integrating with fellow software as a service provider, SATEVA, following the purchase of the mining software developer in late October.

ASX-listed manganese player, Element 25, is closing in on the scheduled production start-up of early next year at its Butcherbird manganese project in the Pilbara region as it continues to pick off key development milestones.
