Gold held near $3,300 this week. Silver was volatile between $32 and $34. The drill rigs did not care. Four junior mining companies released results across Ireland, Canada, and Peru — copper, gold, silver, and the kind of antimony grades that put a European discovery on the critical minerals map.
Group Eleven Resources Drills 23.60% Copper and 506 g/t Silver at Ballywire Discovery Ireland
On June 11, Group Eleven Resources (TSXV: ZNG / OTCQB: GRLVF) released results from drill hole 26-3552-57 at the Ballywire discovery within the PG West Project in the Republic of Ireland. The intercept: 23.60% Cu, 506 g/t Ag, and 2.04% Sb over 0.6 meters within a broader 2.8-meter zone. A second interval returned 6.6 meters of 1.60% Cu, 83 g/t Ag, and 0.19% Sb.
The geology here is a layered system. The upper horizon is zinc-lead-silver hosted in Waulsortian Limestone (a distinctive Carboniferous-era carbonate rock that hosts the majority of Irish base metal deposits). Below it sits the copper-silver-antimony zone the company has been drilling toward. This is the same system that Group Eleven has been expanding since the 2022 Ballywire discovery announcement, which has been called the most significant mineral discovery in Ireland in over a decade. Antimony (a critical mineral used in flame retardants, semiconductors, and military ammunition) grades of 2.04% in a western jurisdiction are rare.
Market cap approximately CAD $70 million. Exploration stage, no production revenue. The Ballywire system has now returned meaningful copper-silver-antimony grades across multiple holes, which is the step that converts a single exciting intercept into a repeatable system.

Gold Terra Resource Expands Walsh Lake Gold Corridor with 6.40 g/t Gold Over 3.4 Meters in NWT
Gold Terra Resource Corp. (TSXV: YGT / OTCQB: YGTFF) released additional assay results on June 11 from its 2026 Winter Drill Program at the Yellowknife Project in the Northwest Territories. Drill hole from Zone 14-24 in the North Belt Area returned 6.40 g/t Au over 3.4 meters, expanding the Walsh Lake gold corridor.
Gold Terra has been systematically drilling the Walsh Lake corridor for several years. Yellowknife is one of Canada’s historically productive gold districts, with existing roads, power infrastructure, and a skilled workforce from decades of mining activity in the region. Zone 14-24 sits within a broader corridor that the company has been expanding hole by hole. The 2026 Winter Program is designed specifically for corridor expansion rather than infill drilling, which means each new result is adding to the footprint rather than confirming existing resources.

Caprock Mining Reports Final Deep Drill Holes at Destiny Gold Project Near Val d’Or Quebec
On June 12, Caprock Mining Corp. (CSE: CAPR) announced results from the final three deep drill holes of its recently concluded deep drilling campaign at the Destiny gold property near Val d’Or, Quebec. The highlight: 8.32 g/t Au over 2.6 meters from the deep drilling program. All eight recently drilled deep holes returned high-grade intercepts in the 500 to 600 meter depth range.
Val d’Or sits in the Abitibi greenstone belt, one of the most prolific gold-producing regions in the world. The Destiny project overlies a 6-kilometer segment of the Despinassy shear zone, a splay off the regional Chicobi Fault. Caprock published an open pit-constrained NI 43-101 resource estimate in March 2025. The deep drilling program was designed to test extensions below that resource. Eight for eight high-grade holes at depth is the result that keeps a project moving forward.
One important note for US investors: Caprock Mining is listed exclusively on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker CAPR. No OTCQB or OTCQX listing has been confirmed. US investors should verify tradability through their broker before attempting to trade. Filings on SEDAR+.
Tier One Silver Reports 448 g/t Silver Over One Meter at Curibaya in Final Phase 2 Assays
Tier One Silver Inc. (TSXV: TSLV / OTCQB: TSLVF) released the second and final round of Phase 2 assay results on June 11 from its Curibaya epithermal silver-gold-copper project in the Tacna Department of Peru. The highlight: 1 meter of 448.2 g/t Ag and 0.37 g/t Au. The Phase 2 program consisted of eight diamond core drill holes.
Curibaya is an epithermal system (a type of silver-gold deposit formed by hot fluids at relatively shallow depths, known for producing bonanza-grade silver veins) in a region of Peru with established mining infrastructure and a long history of silver production. Tier One Silver has been drilling toward a mineral resource estimate. The Phase 2 final round completes the drill dataset needed to build that estimate. Peru carries real jurisdiction and operating risk that readers researching Tier One should review in the company’s most recent SEDAR+ filings. Filings on SEDAR+.
SAGA Metals Reports Stronger Second Batch of Vanadium Assays at Radar Labrador
SAGA Metals Corp. (TSXV: SAGA / OTCQB: SAGMF) — We covered SAGA’s first batch of Radar Critical Minerals Project results last week, holes R-0039 to R-0043 from June 4. This week a second batch landed. Holes R-0044 to R-0046 returned 58.33% Fe2O3, 8.78% TiO2, and 0.415% V2O5 at Trapper South in Labrador. The new grades are stronger than the first batch, which returned 51.20% FeO, 7.94% TiO2, and 0.340% V2O5. Each successive batch is expanding the iron-titanium-vanadium system and confirming that the deposit is consistent across multiple holes.
Upcoming Catalysts: Group Eleven Ballywire Update, Gold Terra Winter Program, Caprock Shallow Drilling, Tier One Resource Estimate
Group Eleven Ballywire: multiple holes still pending assay from the ongoing 2026 program. Any additional copper-silver-antimony results will either extend or define the boundaries of the system. A maiden resource incorporating the copper-silver zone would be the next major milestone.
Gold Terra Walsh Lake: the 2026 Winter Program is ongoing. Additional Zone 14-24 results and any new zone intersections along the North Belt Area are the catalysts to watch as the corridor expansion continues.
Caprock Mining Q2 shallow program: approximately 3,200 meters across 10 shallow drill holes targeting near-surface extensions west of the current resource. Commencement announcement and first assays from the shallow program are the next milestones.
Tier One Silver resource estimate: the Phase 2 dataset is now complete. Watch for any resource estimate initiation announcement or timeline guidance for a first NI 43-101 compliant resource at Curibaya.
SAGA Metals: each successive batch of assays from the 2026 drilling program is expanding the Trapper South target. Watch for any resource estimate initiation at Radar or announcement of additional drilling at the critical minerals project.
