Breakthrough Minerals Limited (ASX:BTM)

Breakthrough Minerals Limited (ASX: BTM) announced further assay results from resource expansion drilling at the Turpentine Deposit within its North Queensland Copper-Gold Project in Queensland, reporting that three additional holes extended interpreted copper-gold mineralisation northward and at depth beyond the current resource envelope. Key new results were 26TUR004 returning 9m at 1.59% CuEq from 262m including 5m at 2.62% CuEq, 26TUR008 returning 24m at 0.46% CuEq from 271m including 3m at 0.99% CuEq, and 26TUR009 returning 14m at 1.57% CuEq from 251m including 5m at 3.75% CuEq, with 26TUR009 the northernmost hole drilled by BTM at Turpentine to date and the highest-grade intersection in this phase. The company said all nine BTM holes drilled at Turpentine in 2026 have intersected copper mineralisation, supporting continuity of the system and its strategy to grow the existing Inferred Mineral Resource of 8.7Mt at 1.16% CuEq for 101,000 tonnes contained CuEq at Turpentine, within the broader North Queensland Copper-Gold Project resource inventory of 18.8Mt at 1.07% CuEq for 200,000 tonnes contained CuEq. Drilling is scheduled to recommence the following week using a dedicated RC rig to test further northern down-plunge extensions, with more assays expected from early October 2026 and a further approximately 2,500m RC program planned across Hazel Creek targets including Turpentine South, Eight Mile Creek North and Eight Mile Creek East.
