Latest Bulk Sampling News

Felix Gold advanced bulk extraction, processing and refinery plans at its Alaska antimony project in FY26, but the push came with a larger loss, falling cash and an auditor-documented material uncertainty over going concern. A potential US$18 million Department of Energy award remains subject to negotiation rather than a committed funding source.

Resolution Minerals has turned Horse Heaven into the centre of its strategy, pairing broad gold drilling with high-grade antimony and tungsten test work. The expansion came with a sharply higher A$53.3 million FY2026 loss and a disclosed dependence on future funding.

Cadoux says resampling of 21 historical Danube drill holes has extended rare earth-zircon mineralisation up to 1.4 kilometres north of its June Exploration Target and opened a southern target area. The results move the project towards planned infill drilling, a maiden Mineral Resource and a Scoping Study, but key mineralogy and access hurdles remain.

Nex Metals returned to profit in FY2026 after selling its remaining Arika joint venture interest, but the gain did not resolve its underlying funding pressure. The company ended the year with $422,452 in cash, net liabilities of $471,232 and a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

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.

Ballymore Resources enters FY2027 with Dittmer moving towards underground resource drilling, bulk sampling and trial mining, while Torpy’s has emerged as a second high-grade polymetallic opportunity. The progress came alongside a $3.10 million loss, a $10.92 million royalty liability and a disclosed material uncertainty over ongoing funding.

Alliance Nickel has approved a second phase of vat leach testing after preliminary NiWest results supported continued evaluation of the alternative processing route. The potential prize is substantial, but quantified recoveries and capital savings remain unproven.

Peregrine Gold has reported a $3.47 million FY2026 loss and $3.56 million operating cash outflow, with its auditor highlighting material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Against that financial pressure, the ASX-listed explorer is preparing RC drilling across two high-grade channel iron prospects and advancing several gold targets in the Pilbara.

Mt Malcolm Mines has moved closer to an integrated gold development model, combining a maiden 13,200-ounce resource with ownership of major 500,000-tonne-per-year processing plant components. The shift came with a $1.639 million loss, $1.445 million of operating cash outflows and a warning that further working capital is likely to be required within 12 months.

Greenwing Resources has warned of material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern after reporting a $3.90 million loss for FY2026. The result was hit by a $2.23 million non-cash impairment at its dormant Graphmada graphite mine, while cash remains below near-term project commitments.

Australasian Metals has paired a sharply smaller annual loss with a $1.05 million placement aimed at exploring two proposed Côte d’Ivoire lithium projects. The projects remain an option, not an acquisition, while May Queen drilling is being prepared in Queensland.

Australian Silica Quartz Group is shifting its centre of gravity from exploration to development after adding the 47.3Mt White Swan Kaolin Project. The project has an approved 250,000-tonne-per-year mining concept, but commercial offtake and feasibility work remain ahead.
