Latest Mineral Exploration News

Sultan Resources has lodged a prospectus for up to 91.4 million options to existing shareholders, alongside a further 25 million options for lead manager Xcel Capital. The offer brings in little immediate cash but could provide up to $3.43 million if the new options are later exercised.

Daly Resources has emerged from its June ASX debut with $11.05 million in cash, a 6,500 km² Northern Territory exploration portfolio and a growing list of drill targets. The catch is familiar for early-stage explorers: the company has yet to define a mineral resource or reserve, while its strongest Huckitta results remain surface sampling rather than drilling.

Patriot Resources has established a 31.4 million-ounce silver-equivalent inferred resource at its Tassa project in Peru, but the company's annual report warns that further capital raising is required to sustain operations. The explorer recorded a $4.82 million loss and remains dependent on final drilling approvals.

Buxton Resources has returned to profit after selling its 49% Copper Wolf joint venture interest to IGO for A$5.91 million. The transaction lifted cash and term deposit investments to A$7.39 million, but the explorer remains dependent on capital and future discoveries rather than recurring earnings.

Tasman Resources has swung to a $16.5 million FY2026 profit after booking a $19.48 million gain when Eden Innovations ceased to be controlled. The explorer also ended the year with $5.65 million in cash and no borrowings, but its next test is geological rather than accounting: drilling at Titan West and Parkinson Dam.

Ragnar Metals has identified at least five interpreted mineralised shoots at its Harnäs gold project in Sweden, but the exploration-led company ended FY2026 with only $233,220 in cash. The annual report also restates FY2025 after previously omitted Kaiser Reef options were recognised at $779,288.

Redstone Resources has expanded its exploration portfolio and reported deep copper intersections at West Musgrave, but its auditor has flagged material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue without further funding. The ASX junior ended FY2026 with A$557,426 in cash against A$636,787 of annual Australian tenement commitments.

Noronex Limited (ASX:NRX) swung to a A$1.145 million statutory profit in FY2026, but the result was driven mainly by tenement disposal gains while operating cash outflows increased sharply. The auditor also highlighted material uncertainty over the explorer’s ability to continue without further funding.

Australian Critical Minerals has emerged from a transformational year with six new Peruvian projects and early Flint drilling pointing towards a possible concealed porphyry system. But the annual report also flags a material uncertainty over going concern, with further funding required to sustain exploration.

Recharge Metals ended FY2026 with $5.61 million in cash after a $5.97 million capital raise and the acquisition of the Sunset Well gold project. The explorer now faces a sharper test: whether drilling can turn Prospero’s 94,500-ounce inferred resource and its broader exploration portfolio into something more substantial.

Verity Resources has expanded its Monument gold story in Western Australia, but the explorer’s stronger resource base sits alongside a sharply higher annual loss, A$4.67 million operating cash outflow and a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company finished FY2026 with A$1.05 million in cash and more than A$2.39 million of exploration commitments due within a year.

Maverick Minerals finished FY2026 with $5.3 million in cash after raising $6 million, but warned that further funding will be needed to sustain its expanded exploration program. The auditor highlighted a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
