Lead metalOther metals in the hitEquivalent grade only
Method

Ranked by gross in-situ metal value: every metal reported in the intercept, priced at fixed 2023–2025 average prices, times the intercept length (US$·m). Prices from IMF Primary Commodity Prices, or USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries where IMF has no series. Gold $2,590/oz, silver $30.53/oz, copper $9,193/t, zinc $2,765/t, lead $2,056/t, nickel $17,835/t, molybdenum $51,061/t, uranium $59.15/lb U3O8, lithium carbonate $19,933/t. Oxide and equivalent grades are converted to metal; an equivalent grade counts only when no metal grades are given. Gross value only: no recoveries, costs, depth or true width, so long low-grade holes rank high. No infill (the default) drops infill and resource-definition holes and keeps new, expansion and unclassified hits; switch it off to include infill. One hit per company per period; longer periods appear as the log builds (it starts Oct 22, 2026). Gold and Copper show hits where that metal is at least half the value. Infill holes excluded. Built from our daily drill scan, so it may miss some results. Full price deck · All logged hits.
