Latest Approvals News

eMetals has shifted its exploration focus from Uganda to a larger Utah tungsten project, where high-grade re-assays have set up a 17-hole drilling campaign. But the ASX-listed explorer ended the year with $1.79 million in cash, $1.40 million of deferred consideration and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

ASF Group strengthened its balance sheet in FY2026 by selling non-core investments and subsidiaries, lifting cash to A$5.19 million and eliminating borrowings. Profit attributable to shareholders fell sharply as the prior year benefited from a one-off gain, leaving the investment group reliant on future portfolio realisations and development projects.

Solara Minerals has reported a sharply wider FY2026 loss after impairing $3.14 million of exploration assets, while cash fell to $2.03 million. The early-stage explorer expanded its Bryah Basin portfolio but says further funding may be needed to continue exploration.

Emperor Energy has moved its Judith Gas Field closer to a targeted April 2027 appraisal well, with the VALARIS 107 rig lined up and regulatory work advancing. But the company’s auditor has highlighted a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern, with management forecasting a need to raise about $45 million through September 2027.

Desane Group Holdings reported a sharp FY26 profit decline as lower property revaluation gains and higher finance costs overwhelmed largely stable rental income. The ASX-listed property group enters FY27 with more cash, conservative gearing and two developments that now need to convert asset value into earnings.

Critical Minerals Group has put a substantial economic case around its Lindfield vanadium project, but its FY26 accounts also flag a material uncertainty over funding. The company is targeting a 2027 investment decision while holding less than A$1 million in year-end cash and navigating a leadership change.

Tennant Minerals has reported a high-grade maiden resource and further strong drilling at its Bluebird copper-gold discovery, but the annual report carries a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. A $2.8 million capital raise completed around year-end provides near-term funding, while further exploration and processing studies remain ahead.

Finder Energy has shifted decisively from exploration towards development, with its Timor-Leste oil project backed by independent reserves, an acquired FPSO and expanded TIMOR GAP funding. The transition came at a steep cost, however, with a $30.0 million annual loss and Final Investment Decision still ahead.

Avenira has pushed its first Wonarah phosphate shipment target into the first half of 2027, while its auditor warned that funding remains critical to the company’s survival. The annual report records project progress, but also a $3.34 million loss, $759,415 in year-end cash and a proposed $49 million rights issue.

oOh!media’s $1.68-per-share takeover by I Squared Capital has cleared another formal milestone, with the scheme booklet now registered by ASIC. The independent expert considers the offer fair and reasonable, but shareholders must still vote before the proposed 26 November implementation.

Key Petroleum reduced its FY2026 loss, but the oil and gas explorer continues to rely on equity funding while awaiting Queensland Government decisions on ATP 920 and ATP 924. An auditor’s unmodified opinion still highlights material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

West Cobar Metals ended FY2026 with more cash but a larger loss and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue without further funding. Exploration advanced across Salazar and Cobar West, but the company remains dependent on equity markets to keep its programmes moving.
