Emu NL has moved from geological validation at Fiery Creek into a larger drilling campaign at its Yataga Valley copper project, after ending FY2026 with $3.15 million in cash. The progress comes with a material warning: the auditor said the company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends on securing further capital.

Regener8 Resources has identified three large, coherent silver-lead-zinc-antimony soil anomalies at its Srebrenica North project in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The results give the explorer a sharper target ahead of follow-up geophysics and potential drilling, although the project remains at an early exploration stage.

Reedy Lagoon is relying on shareholder approval for a $1.8 million underwritten placement after ending the year with $44,416 in cash and a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The recapitalisation would fund exploration, but comes with substantial dilution and a staged repayment of related-party debt.

Right Resources posted a A$5.16 million loss for FY2026 and warned of material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern, despite A$3.24 million in cash at year-end and a subsequent A$2.94 million capital raise. The explorer is betting that new drilling at Blue and a revised geological model at Pilot can improve the investment case.

Surefire Resources has flagged a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern after reporting a $2.07 million annual loss and $1.30 million in operating cash outflows. The company is advancing Victory Bore and Yidby, but both projects remain tied to funding, approvals and further execution.

Minerals 260 has emerged from FY26 with a 6.2Moz Bullabulling resource, a maiden 2.5Moz reserve and a pre-feasibility study pointing to a 19-year gold operation. The project is now moving into definitive feasibility, but debt funding, approvals and a final investment decision remain ahead.

Sabre Resources has expanded into a 4,000-square-kilometre Northern Territory gold and copper-gold portfolio, but its FY2026 loss more than doubled as cash declined. The company now has drilling underway and fresh capital, alongside a growing funding and dilution burden.

Javelin Minerals is pursuing an all-scrip takeover by FirstAU after its planned Eureka production partnership with MEGA Resources was terminated over regional processing constraints. The company reported a $2.69 million FY2026 loss, $3.92 million in cash and an auditor warning that further funding is required.

Westar Resources has reported a $3.30 million FY2026 loss after impairing $2.20 million of exploration assets, predominantly at Gidgee North. The explorer ended the year with $1.85 million in cash after raising $1.98 million, while adding several early-stage gold and copper projects.

MRG Metals has reported exceptional rare earth grades at its newly acquired Garies project and advanced its Mozambique portfolio, but the explorer remains dependent on capital markets. The FY26 annual report flags material uncertainty over going concern despite a subsequent A$725,000 placement and a further share purchase plan.

Venari Minerals has moved Red Mountain from grassroots discovery to a 3.03Mt lithium carbonate equivalent inferred resource, backed by 99.5% battery-grade lithium carbonate test work. The next test is commercial rather than geological, with drilling, permitting and a planned Scoping Study now competing against a large loss and ongoing funding needs.

Lightning Minerals has more than doubled its annual loss after writing off $4.16 million of lithium exploration assets, while its auditor flagged material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASX-listed explorer is now concentrating its limited resources on Queensland and New South Wales gold and copper projects.
