Latest Capital Raises News

Reach Resources has increased the Blue Heaven resource by 30% to 80,000 ounces while advancing a proposed profit-sharing mining arrangement with Andel Resources. The progress came alongside a sharply larger FY2026 loss and a balance sheet still dependent on future project execution.

Tanami Gold has entered FY27 with funding in place for a 3,500-metre underground decline at Groundrush, after raising $70.5 million and reporting a 2.8 million ounce Central Tanami resource. The project remains in the study and resource-definition phase, with no Ore Reserve or production decision yet disclosed.

DeSoto Resources has assembled about 1,300 square kilometres of gold tenure in Guinea’s Siguiri Basin, but the expansion came with a A$15.0 million FY2026 loss and a A$6.35 million write-off of Northern Territory exploration assets. The company enters FY2027 with drilling, geophysics and tenure renewals still to convert its large portfolio into a defined resource.

Latrobe Magnesium has secured A$8.5 million in equity funding to complete its Latrobe Valley demonstration plant and advance a proposed South Carolina magnesium project. The raising gives the company near-term funding certainty, but also brings further dilution and leaves the larger US development dependent on future capital.

Solstice Minerals has emerged from FY2026 with a larger exploration story, a A$45.3 million liquidity base and drilling that extends Nanadie beyond its existing resource footprint. The company remains loss-making and pre-production, leaving future value tied to resource growth and exploration execution.

Narryer Metals is buying the Redhill Copper Project in southern Chile from 29Metals, gaining an existing 4.3Mt inferred resource and a much larger conceptual exploration target. The deal also brings a A$1 million strategic investment from 29Metals at a 54% premium to Narryer’s pre-announcement share price.

Cadence Opportunities Fund has raised $5.7 million through a strongly supported share purchase plan and placement, increasing the company’s net tangible assets by 17%. The new shares will also qualify for upcoming fully franked dividends.

Bounty Oil & Gas NL (ASX:BUY) is pursuing a 2,322 km² deepwater exploration block offshore Liberia, backed by a $3.55 million placement and major vendor-linked securities. The opportunity remains conditional: the block has no executed production sharing contract, no independent resource estimate and has not yet been reviewed directly by Bounty.

Emerald Resources-backed Manda Resources has completed a suite of North Queensland asset acquisitions, lifting its combined global JORC gold resource to 1.33Moz. The vehicle has started drilling and appointed experienced explorer Tara French as CEO ahead of a proposed ASX listing later in 2026.

Tungsten Mining has secured firm commitments for a $50 million placement at $0.32 a share, giving its Watershed tungsten project fresh funding as it moves toward a final investment decision. The raise comes at a discount to recent market prices and will also support the company’s broader project portfolio.

Gold Hydrogen has advanced Ramsay drilling, testing and commercial studies, but its annual report carries a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The pre-revenue explorer ended FY2026 with $9.42 million in cash after spending heavily on exploration.

McLaren Minerals has moved its flagship McLaren Titanium Project into bankable feasibility, backed by a 529 million tonne resource and a 663-hole drilling campaign. But the pre-revenue explorer remains reliant on further funding, with the Barossa acquisition still conditional and 118.4 million options issued after year-end.
