An update from True North Copper ( (AU:TNC) ) is now available.

True North Copper reported a strong March quarter marked by accelerated field activity at both its Mt Oxide and Cloncurry Copper projects, despite seasonal wet weather. The company strengthened its technical team and recommenced drilling in mid-February, aiming to deliver extensive drilling programs and a Pre-Feasibility Study for Cloncurry by late 2026, underpinned by $12.3m in cash.

At Mt Oxide, final 2025 drilling results confirmed Aquila as a high-grade copper-cobalt-silver system up to 40–60 metres wide and at least one kilometre long, remaining open along strike and at depth. True North Copper also secured around $750,000 in government grants to support drilling, assess legacy stockpiles and run UAV-based geophysics, with drilling restarting in April to test Aquila extensions, the Vero resource and other targets.

At the Cloncurry Copper Project, updated mineral resource estimates increased contained copper to about 109,000 tonnes, reinforcing the economics and scope of the ongoing Pre-Feasibility Study. The company completed 2,900 metres of drilling at the Great Australia Mine and commenced a 3,300-metre campaign at Wallace North, aimed at extending resources, advancing exploration and feeding metallurgical test work.

Strategically, True North Copper moved to expand its regional footprint by signing a purchase agreement to acquire an interest in the Carpentaria joint venture with Glencore, which hosts the 3.1-million-tonne Mongoose copper resource. The company also identified new high-priority copper-gold targets near its existing Wynberg gold resource on a granted mining lease, supporting potential resource growth and broader portfolio value for investors and regional stakeholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:TNC) stock is a Buy with a A$1.20 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on True North Copper stock, see the AU:TNC Stock Forecast page.
