Omnia Metals has shifted its exploration focus to US antimony, silver, rare earths and gallium projects, backed by $3.1 million in equity raisings. Early Montana sampling produced follow-up targets, but the company remains loss-making and says the results are reconnaissance-scale rather than evidence of a resource.

St George Mining’s Araxá project now boasts a 111.2Mt rare earths resource after a major post-year-end upgrade, alongside 630,000 tonnes of contained niobium. The 2026 annual report shows a company moving rapidly towards development, but still without an ore reserve, mine design or production decision.

Eminence Minerals has cut its FY2026 loss and raised its pro forma cash position to about A$5.4 million after selling the Mata da Corda titanium project. The portfolio is now centred on Hamersley iron ore and Brazilian rare earth exploration, but heritage litigation, ungranted tenure and future funding needs remain material constraints.

Blaze Minerals reported a narrower FY2026 loss, but ended the year with just $43,552 in cash and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company is relying on shareholder-approved funding, a proposed 20:1 consolidation and a conditional Ugandan tungsten acquisition to reshape its next phase.

Green Technology Metals has cleared the environmental assessment for its Seymour lithium project, while a A$15.9 million capital raising leaves the company better placed to complete its definitive feasibility study. The next test is whether permitting, financing and Indigenous agreements can convert that progress into a Final Investment Decision in FY27.

Tempest Minerals has reported a $4.62 million FY2026 loss after impairing $3.28 million of exploration assets, while cash fell to $969,693. The company retains exposure to Range gold drilling, the Remorse iron deposit and a $3.08 million Capricorn Metals shareholding, but says further funding will be needed to sustain exploration.

VBX has expanded the Wuudagu Bauxite Project’s resource to 143.2 million tonnes, but its FY26 accounts expose acute funding pressure, with just $301,208 in cash and an auditor warning of material uncertainty over going concern. The definitive feasibility study has been pushed into the first quarter of 2027 while the company relies on fresh equity, related-party funding and prospective strategic partners.

Valiant Gold’s first annual report shows a newly listed gold company with $62.8 million in cash, no debt and two Western Australian projects moving from demerger to execution. The immediate test is whether Comet can be restarted while drilling at Reedy converts resource potential into something mineable.

Kalgoorlie Gold Mining has finished FY2026 with a larger exploration footprint at Pinjin, deeper mineralisation at Kirgella Gift and Providence, and high-grade results at Lighthorse. The company has also raised $3.4 million after year end, although its exploration-stage balance sheet remains dependent on continued access to capital.

Resource Base Limited (ASX:RBX) reduced its FY2026 loss, but ended the year with only $140,776 in cash and an auditor warning of material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company is relying on fresh capital to advance early-stage titanium targets in South Australia.

PTR Minerals has posted a 463 million tonne maiden resource for its Rosewood titanium project, backed by strong early processing results and fresh funding. The next test is whether the large geological inventory can become an economically viable mine.

Unico Silver has more than tripled its reported silver-equivalent resource base across Joaquin and Cerro Leon, ending FY26 with A$55.1 million in cash and a maiden Joaquin Pre-Feasibility Study ahead. The next stage will test whether geological scale can become an economically viable project.
