In 2025, Cobra further expanded its portfolio by optioning the Manna Hill Copper Project in the Nackara Arc, South Australia. The project contains multiple underexplored prospects with strong potential to deliver large-scale copper discoveries.

Tier-1 Copper-Gold Potential in a Forgotten Porphyry Province

Manna Hill covers 1,855 km² in South Australia’s Nackara Arc – an underexplored region with proven porphyry-style mineralisation, offering substantial discovery upside

High-Grade, Shallow Drill Intersections Across Multiple Targets

Historic drilling at Blue Rose returned results such as 

  • 48m @ 2.2% Cu & 0.76 g/t Au and 
  • 132m @ 0.52% Cu, indicating immediate scalability and walk-up drill targets

Immediate Value Catalysts Through Near-Term Exploration

With land access secured and drill-ready targets defined, Cobra is positioned to rapidly demonstrate scale and value through a focused, high-impact exploration programme

Highlights

  • 1,855 km² of tenure across three exploration licences in the Nackara Arc, South Australia
  • Located in an underexplored porphyry province with strong geological similarities to the Macquarie Arc
  • Focused on copper-gold skarn and porphyry systems with proven high-grade intersections
  • Drill-ready targets with historical results including 47m @ 2.2% Cu & 0.76 g/t Au
  • Large-scale IP and magnetic anomalies indicating porphyry potential
  • Immediate value catalysts through near-term exploration during the option period

Priority Exploration Targets

  • Blue Rose – Copper-Gold Skarn & Porphyry Target

    Shallow, high-grade skarn mineralisation over 1.6 km with drill results up to 47m @ 2.2% Cu and 0.76 g/t Au; underlain by an untested demagnetised anomaly interpreted as a porphyry source.

  • Netley Hill – Large-Scale Copper-Molybdenum System

    3 km long chargeability anomaly with broad, shallow Cu-Mo intersections, including 350m @ 0.1% Cu & 0.05% Mo from surface; prospective for a large porphyry system.

  • Golden Sophia – Carlin-Style Gold Target

    Consistent, shallow gold mineralisation (up to 60m @ 0.58 g/t Au) hosted in sericitised carbonaceous pelite; located near historic Wadnaminga goldfields and a blind magnetic anomaly that may indicate porphyry linkage.
