Join us as we speak with Brendan Cummins, Managing Director at Black Canyon (ASX:BCA), to explore the latest exploration progress at the Wandanya Project in Western Australia’s Pilbara Region. Brendan shares on-the-ground insights from field camp as the team wraps up a major diamond drilling program and prepares for a busy year ahead.
Key topics discussed:
- Diamond drilling and test work: The team has completed PQ3 diamond drilling, generating two to three tonnes of material for metallurgical testing on both iron ore and ‘high-grade’ manganese.
- Promising new ground at Wandanya South: Recent rock chip assays returned more than 60% iron and 50-60% manganese, mirroring strong results from the 3km mineralised zone already drilled.
- Big growth plans for 2026: Black Canyon is preparing 20,000 metres of drilling across Wandanya, Wandanya South, and northern target zones, supported by a recent $10 million capital raise.
