3 ASX mining shares to buy now

The following three ASX mining stocks represent good opportunities for investors as they surged on Tuesday due to positive operational updates and sector tailwinds that have improved investor sentiment.

Solstice Minerals Limited (ASX: SLS)
announced strong early drilling results on 3 February 2026 from its Phase 1 RC program at the 100% owned Nanadie Copper Gold Project in Western Australia.

The company reported wide and high-grade copper gold intercepts from the first five drill holes including a standout result of 62 metres at 1.55% copper and 0.66 grams per tonne gold to end of hole which highlights the scale and strength of the mineralised system.

Mineralisation extended well beyond the existing 40.4 million tonne resource model which confirms that the system remains open at depth and along strike and improves the exploration upside.
Geological logging also showed a broad mineralised mafic intrusive package over 150 metres wide and at least 900 metres long which supports the potential for meaningful resource expansion through follow up drilling.
