[TradingView](https://www.tradingview.com/news/smallcaps:7c4d539bb094b:0-linq-minerals-discovers-copper-gold-system-at-gilmore-s-gidginbung-south-target/) carried the announcement on October 21, 2026.\n\n## What the Gidginbung South Hole Showed\n\nInitial visual assessment of core confirmed high sulphidation-style epithermal and porphyry vein-style mineralisation beneath younger rock cover, running to the end of the hole at 750.3m. The discovery lies 800m south of the previously known southern limit of similar mineralisation at the Gidginbung deposit, and 1.6 kilometres south-west of similar porphyry mineralisation at LinQ's Dam copper-gold deposit.\n\nThe hole remains open in all directions for extension, and final assays are expected within the next two months to determine its economic significance. Linq Minerals has planned a further three holes up to 1,000m in depth at Gidginbung South.\n\nGidginbung South was initially identified from magnetic data, records of pyrite, and strong epithermal-style alteration seen in a shallow historic drill hole to 465m depth located about 200m from the drilled hole. An induced polarisation survey located a chargeability anomaly, and the core of that anomaly, about 200m east of the new mineralisation, will be tested in the next drilling program.\n\n\"This first hole at Gidginbung South could be a significant breakthrough discovery for LinQ as we pursue an aggressive drilling campaign to prove that the Gilmore project has the potential to be the next major economic mining centre in the Macquarie Arc,\" technical director John Holliday said.\n\n## Linq Minerals' Gilmore Project Scale\n\nLinq Minerals is a Perth-based explorer founded in 2023 and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange under ticker LNQ, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records put the Gilmore project at 516Mt containing about 3.7Moz gold and about 1.2Mt copper, with more than 20 prospects identified across roughly 40km of strike length. The Gilmore South brownfields gold sub-project carries a mineral resource estimate of about 1.7Moz gold and about 200Kt copper.\n\n## Copper Exploration Elsewhere\n\nCoyote Copper Mines is advancing a copper exploration project of more than 70 square kilometres near Phoenix, Arizona, next to Rio Tinto and BHP's Resolution Copper project, and recently secured a drill permit, [Aktien](https://www.wallstreet-online.de/nachricht/21503053-video-ceo-clips-coyote-copper-exploring-for-a-major-copper-discovery-arizona-s-copper-triangle) reported on October 9, 2026. Angkor Resources said a university study backed copper-molybdenum porphyry potential at the Thmei North target in Cambodia's Andong Bor license, with drilling plans targeting 1,700 meters in early 2027, [The future of trading](https://capital.com/en-int/news/angkor-resources-says-university-study-backs-copper-molybdenum-porphyry-potential-at) reported on October 13, 2026.\n\n## What Comes Next at Gidginbung South\n\nFinal assays from the first hole are expected within two months. The company has planned three further holes up to 1,000m in depth at Gidginbung South, and the chargeability anomaly core about 200m east of the new mineralisation will be tested in the next drilling program.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
