Latest Asx Mining News

Talisman Mining’s Sheepyard prospect has emerged as the company’s clearest exploration opportunity after drilling outlined shallow gold mineralisation across an unconstrained 800-metre strike. But the annual report also shows a shrinking royalty income stream, a $2.705 million loss and fresh reliance on equity funding.

Arika Resources has consolidated full ownership of its two Western Australian gold projects after a year of expanding mineralisation and fresh high-grade targets. The exploration story is gathering momentum, but auditors have flagged material uncertainty around funding as the company moves into a more than 20,000-metre drilling campaign.

Nordic Resources increased its FY2026 loss as it accelerated exploration in Finland, drilling nearly 11,500 metres across its gold projects and ending the year with A$8.48 million in cash. The next test is whether drilling, metallurgy and permitting can turn a growing resource base into a mine development case.

Albion Resources has moved into its maiden Gidgee drilling campaign, but the gold explorer’s $2.38 million cash balance and $2.52 million annual operating outflow underpin an auditor warning over its ability to continue without further funding. The company reported a $2.01 million FY2026 loss as it shifted exploration focus towards Gidgee and Yandal West.

Torque Metals enters FY2027 with a 351,000-ounce Ritz Gold Project resource, $13.6 million in cash and an exceptional post-year-end HHH intercept. But the annual report also carries an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over going concern, with further funding potentially required to sustain exploration.

Unity Metals has secured an oversubscribed $3.5 million placement and plans a further $1 million share purchase plan to accelerate drilling across its Cambodian gold projects. The raise gives the explorer funding to test extensions at O’Phlay and new targets at Ngot, but also brings dilution and shareholder-approval hurdles.

Lunnon Metals has delivered thick, consistent gold intersections at the Plentiful prospect, where drilling now sits at approximately 20m by 20m spacing. The company is moving towards modelling and economic assessment, although a separate deep-drilling target failed to deliver enough encouragement for further work.

Sunshine Metals reduced its annual loss and ended June with $20.6 million in cash, but its auditor flagged a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The warning comes as Sunshine funds the Mt Moss processing conversion, faces a $10 million deferred payment and targets first gold in mid-2027.

Lachlan Star’s 2026 annual report puts its 90%-owned New Waverley project at the centre of the company’s exploration strategy after drilling outlined shallow, high-grade gold mineralisation across roughly 400 metres. The company ended the year with $6.52 million in cash, but remains loss-making and without a mineral resource or ore reserve.

Ballymore Resources has extended high-grade silver-lead-zinc-indium mineralisation closer to surface at its Torpy’s discovery in North Queensland. The latest drilling supports a multiple-shoot interpretation, but the project remains at an early exploration stage with assays pending and no Mineral Resource defined.

Zeus Resources has completed due diligence on its Diaguili copper-gold project in southern Mauritania after regulators validated the environmental notice for exploration. The company will now proceed to the first completion stage of the acquisition, with historical drilling providing the project’s main technical attraction but also its principal qualification.

Yandal Resources posted its busiest exploration year yet, expanding the Arrakis discovery and ending FY2026 with 450,200 ounces of reported resources and $9.7 million in cash. But a larger loss, material going-concern uncertainty and a CEO transition leave the company needing to convert drilling momentum into resources and renewed funding support.
