FBR has cut its annual loss dramatically and moved its first Mantis welding robot into commissioning, but year-end cash of just A$27,814 leaves the company dependent on fundraising, tax funding and successful delivery. Its audited accounts flag a material uncertainty over whether the robotics developer can continue as a going concern.

Hastings Technology Metals has cut its annual loss sharply, but its latest report flags a material uncertainty over whether the pre-production rare earths company can secure the funding needed for Yangibana and its proposed Thai processing plant. The uncertainty comes as Wyloo seeks to sell its 60% Yangibana stake despite a study showing attractive project economics.

Black Rock Mining has advanced early works at its Mahenge graphite project, but the annual report warns that securing approximately US$298 million of project funding by November is critical to its survival as a going concern. The company ended FY2026 with A$4.7 million in cash and an A$7.6 million net loss.

Manuka Resources has moved its Wonawinta and Mt Boppy restart from planning towards production, but its FY26 annual report carries a qualified audit opinion and warns of material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company recorded no sales revenue, a $28.1 million loss and $26.1 million of operating cash outflows.

Boab Metals has moved Sorby Hills from investment decision to construction, but its A$236 million debt facility is not yet available for project drawdowns. The company ended FY26 with A$60.9 million in cash after raising almost A$117 million, while reporting a wider A$7.2 million loss.

Aguia Resources has begun commercial Pampafós phosphate production in Brazil and improved Santa Barbara gold recoveries, but its annual report carries a material going-concern warning. A Brazilian court has also declared the Três Estradas environmental licensing process null, leaving the company’s flagship new operation exposed to an unresolved legal fight.

Australian Bond Exchange Holdings improved revenue, reduced its annual loss and sharply cut operating cash outflow in FY2026. Yet with only A$249,000 in cash, net liabilities of A$1.43 million and A$2 million of convertible notes maturing from April 2027, the turnaround remains financially fragile.

MC Mining has warned of a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern, despite its flagship Makhado project entering hot commissioning.

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.

Delorean Corporation’s SA1 Salisbury renewable gas project is more than 85% complete after the company returned to near break-even EBITDA in FY2026.

Freehill Mining’s Chilean aggregates operation reached record quarterly sales as the company moved deeper into copper-gold development.

Tlou Energy has generated its first revenue from gas-derived power at the Lesedi project, but the milestone sits alongside a A$59.96 million loss, minimal cash and a material going-concern uncertainty.
