Blackstone Minerals Ltd ( (AU:BSX) ) just unveiled an update.

Blackstone Minerals has resumed exploration at its flagship Mankayan copper-gold project in the Philippines after a local cease-and-desist order was lifted, following sustained engagement with community groups and government bodies. The company has initiated a pre-feasibility study underpinned by a substantial JORC-compliant resource, with drilling, metallurgical test work, LiDAR and geophysical surveys planned to refine project economics and expand high-grade zones.

The miner reported a cash balance of $14.6 million and listed investments of $786,000 at quarter-end, while continuing to review corporate overheads for tighter capital management. It also strengthened its board with the appointment of mining executive Mark Williams and noted progress toward a license extension at the Ta Khoa nickel project in Vietnam, where it holds a free 20% carried interest, underscoring diversified growth options for stakeholders.
