Latest Mining News

Golden Mile Resources has reported broad, high-grade surface gold results at its Aurora prospect in Arizona, including 2.38g/t over about 126 metres. The exploration momentum comes alongside a $2.41 million annual loss, $609,757 in cash and an explicit warning that further funding is required.

Hawthorn Resources reported a wider Australian-dollar loss for FY2026, with revenue falling sharply and cash declining by $1.53 million. The company is directing its remaining balance sheet toward exploration at the Trouser Legs gold joint venture and Mount Bevan’s other minerals project.

Conico's statutory loss widened sharply in FY2026, largely because of non-cash share-based payments linked to its recapitalisation. The company ended the year debt free with $2.53 million in cash, but warned that funding remains critical as it prepares for Mt Thirsty drilling.

NewPeak Metals reported a $4.36 million FY2026 profit, but the result was driven mainly by fair-value gains and investment disposals rather than mining revenue. The auditor has flagged a material uncertainty over going concern even after the explorer secured a post-year-end $3.5 million placement.

KGL Resources says its Jervois copper project is funded through construction and ramp-up after a US$300 million Wheaton agreement and a post-year-end A$300 million equity raising. The company is now targeting a final investment decision in the second half of 2026 and first copper concentrate in 2028, while its annual report highlights the execution risks still attached to that timetable.

Wildcat Resources has entered FY27 with a $60 million placement, a $37.2 million year-end cash balance and its Tabba Tabba lithium project advancing towards a definitive feasibility study. The funding strengthens the development runway, but final investment approval, financing and approvals remain ahead.

GreenX Metals has put a conceptual copper-silver target at Tannenberg and a major Poland arbitration award at the centre of its next phase. The annual report also shows the cost of that strategy: a $12.34 million loss, a $4.42 million project impairment and continued reliance on equity funding.

Rubix Resources ended FY2026 with a $1.283 million loss, only $95,001 in cash and a net asset deficit, prompting its auditor to flag a material uncertainty over going concern. The company’s Paperbark drilling produced an encouraging copper signal, but further exploration depends on fresh funding.

Strickland Metals has lifted its Rogozna resource to 9.25 million ounces of gold equivalent, but the exploration company also reported a A$10.39 million FY2026 loss. The cash balance rose sharply after a A$55.11 million placement as the company prepares for studies, permitting and a leadership transition.

Charger Metals has reduced its FY2026 loss and secured $3.75 million from the sale of Bynoe, giving the lithium explorer more room to advance its Lake Johnston assets. The company’s Medcalf resource now stands at 10.6Mt, although further drilling and funding will be needed to test its economic potential.

TerraCom has been suspended from trading while it completes audited FY2026 results expected to include material impairments to its South African and Australian assets. The company has not yet disclosed the size or effect of those write-downs.

American Rare Earths has expanded the proposed Cowboy State Mine in Wyoming to a 4.5 million tonne per year operation with a 26-year mine plan and an estimated after-tax NPV of US$1.07 billion. The stronger study case comes with higher capital, lower recoveries and no Ore Reserves, leaving metallurgy, permitting and funding as the next tests.
