Hillgrove Resources Limited ( (AU:HGO) ) just unveiled an update.

Hillgrove Resources has defined its first Exploration Target for the southern area of the Kanappa prospect, estimating 5.8–11.5 million tonnes grading 0.2–0.8% copper and 0.05–0.1 g/t gold in a conceptual porphyry-style system. The target is based on prior drilling, soil geochemistry, geophysical surveys, and geological interpretation, but is not yet classified as a Mineral Resource under the JORC Code.

The South Australian Department for Energy and Mining has approved the environmental program for drilling under EL6526, clearing the way for a June quarter drill campaign running through the September quarter of 2026. Hillgrove is reallocating capital from lower-prospectivity tenements to focus on Kanappa, where new drilling will test deep IP anomalies and follow up earlier skarn mineralisation, potentially enhancing its copper-gold growth pipeline if results confirm a significant porphyry source.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:HGO) stock is a Buy with a A$0.08 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Hillgrove Resources Limited stock, see the AU:HGO Stock Forecast page.
