Latest Capital Raises News

49 Metals will begin a 3,500-metre follow-up drilling program at its Gold Mountain project in Nevada in October, targeting extensions of the Adit Zone discovery. The campaign is fully funded and follows a maiden program in which all 22 holes intersected gold and/or silver mineralisation.

Wia Gold has moved Kokoseb from exploration into a proposed mine development backed by a 1.95 million ounce Probable Ore Reserve, A$217 million in equity raised since May and indicative US$360 million debt terms. The funding pathway is substantial, but it still depends on permits, lender approvals and final documentation before construction can fully proceed.

Artemis Resources has repositioned around West Pilbara gold-copper exploration and the emerging Madura province, but its audited accounts warn that further funding is required to sustain planned activities. The company ended the year with $3.45 million in cash after an $8.81 million loss and a $5.23 million exploration write-off.

Resource Minerals International has expanded its exploration push across Tanzania and Saudi Arabia, but auditors flagged a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue without future capital raisings. The ASX-listed explorer ended FY2026 with $2.12 million in cash after raising funds through placements and convertible securities.

Western Yilgarn expanded its inferred bauxite inventory to 244Mt and added gallium, tellurium, cobalt, scandium and gold targets during FY2026. But the explorer ended the year with $159,481 in cash, a $1.78 million loss and an auditor warning that further funding is required to continue planned activities.

Powerhaus Uranium entered the ASX with a $2.14 million annual loss, $1.51 million operating cash outflow and net liabilities at 30 June 2026. A subsequent $9 million IPO and the Hidden Bay acquisition have given the early-stage explorer a larger exploration runway, but drilling remains subject to approvals and future funding will still matter.

Nexus Minerals has more than doubled its Wallbrook Mineral Resource to 631,000 ounces, lifting group resources to 709,000 ounces across Western Australian projects. The expansion comes alongside a $6.53 million FY2026 loss, falling cash reserves and a post-year-end $5.4 million capital raising.

Famien Resources has used the year to pivot decisively from Australian exploration towards a 3,700km² gold portfolio in Côte d’Ivoire, backed by A$15.2 million in placements and A$13.1 million in cash. Early drilling has produced several high-grade intercepts, but the company remains loss-making and has yet to declare a mineral resource.

Connected Minerals has made Angola’s Bailundo niobium and rare earths project its flagship after writing off A$3.40 million in Namibian and Western Australian exploration assets. The pivot is now backed by a completed A$4.5 million placement and a planned 6,000-metre drilling campaign, but Bailundo remains an exploration-stage project without a declared resource.

Barys Resources has opened a 1-for-1 renounceable entitlement offer priced at $0.01 a share, targeting gross proceeds of up to approximately $2.6 million. The partially underwritten raise is scheduled to close on 7 October 2026.

PainChek grew recurring revenue, implemented licences and customer sites in FY2026, but its $8.94 million loss and $9.24 million operating cash outflow prompted an explicit going-concern warning from its auditor. The company is now betting that US deployments and a sharper commercial focus can convert market access into cash-generating growth.

Strategic Energy Resources (ASX:SER) narrowed its FY26 loss and lifted cash to $1.84 million while advancing four Queensland copper-gold projects with Fortescue and Sumitomo. But auditors flagged a material uncertainty over the explorer’s ability to continue as a going concern, leaving future funding central to the investment case.
