Beetaloo Energy has secured a 25% non-operated interest in a 305 square kilometre Taroom Trough block as part of a four-company joint venture selected as Queensland’s preferred tenderer. The position comes with no upfront consideration, while its initial two-year work program is intended to be funded from existing cash.

Peregrine Gold has secured $2.25 million through a discounted placement backed by major shareholder Mark Creasy, Lion Selection Group and company directors. The funding is earmarked for maiden drilling and broader gold and iron ore exploration in Western Australia, subject to heritage and Programme of Work approvals.

Unity Metals has extended its Camp stockwork gold discovery in Cambodia by 35 metres to the northeast, with a new hole returning 1 metre at 10.2 grams per tonne gold. The mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike, although a nearby southwest test returned no significant intersections.

First Au will acquire six exploration licences in Western Australia’s Ora Banda district for A$150,000 upfront, with a further A$500,000 deferred at the seller’s discretion. The deal expands its Riverina tenure but comes with a A$250,000 drilling commitment and remains subject to completion conditions.

Viking Mines has repositioned itself around Nevada tungsten, with Linka producing a 56.9% WO₃ concentrate at 76.0% recovery and gaining approval for a 63-hole maiden drilling programme. The opportunity is advancing, but the company remains loss-making, has no JORC resource at Linka and will need further funding as work accelerates.

NeuRizer has secured agreements worth AUD$12.7 million with Reliance Industries, offering a potential funding bridge for its coal-gasification technology. But the company’s FY2025 accounts show a larger loss, just $183,666 in year-end cash and a material dependence on continued funding and creditor support.

Pure Resources finished 2026 with $3.67 million in cash and no debt after raising $4.7 million, but its annual loss widened as it shifted from explorer to a Garnet Hills-led advanced materials platform. The company is now pursuing garnet abrasives, jumbo flake graphite and heavy rare earth recovery through US research and defence partnerships.

Amara Minerals has warned of a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern after reporting an $8.79 million FY2026 loss and $2.08 million in cash. The company is advancing Victorian gold-antimony exploration, but further equity funding is required and a GST-related court dispute remains unresolved.

Dalaroo Metals has moved from a Western Australian base-metals explorer into a three-country gold and critical-minerals play, but its next phase depends on drilling success and continued access to capital. The annual report records a $2.63 million loss, $509,442 in year-end cash and a material uncertainty over going concern.

Everlast Minerals has completed its first export shipment from Bangladesh, but the 109-tonne cargo remains a pilot-scale milestone rather than proof of commercial production. The ASX-listed company ended FY26 with $3.32 million in cash, a $3.03 million loss and commissioning still incomplete at its expanded Gaibandha operation.

Verity Resources has expanded its Monument gold story in Western Australia, but the explorer’s stronger resource base sits alongside a sharply higher annual loss, A$4.67 million operating cash outflow and a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company finished FY2026 with A$1.05 million in cash and more than A$2.39 million of exploration commitments due within a year.

Rumble Resources has moved Western Queen closer to a potential 2027 gold start, pairing a larger resource with third-party processing access and A$10 million in royalty funding. The project remains pre-production, however, with approvals, financing, feasibility work and a final investment decision still outstanding.
