Great Western Exploration has identified zinc-silver-lead mineralisation at its Seymour target in Western Australia, which it interprets as the outer edge of a potentially fertile volcanic-hosted massive sulphide system. The company says a nearby copper-gold core remains untested and is accelerating permitting, geophysics and follow-up drilling.

Gratifii narrowed its FY26 net loss to $7.56 million, but continued cash burn, a $4.04 million net current liability deficit and an auditor warning leave its growth strategy dependent on fresh execution and funding. The ASX-listed loyalty technology company is also pursuing acquisitions and a $5 million Marketplacer investment whose benefits have yet to reach reported earnings.

Castle Minerals has reported a $3.23 million net loss for FY2026, with its auditor highlighting material uncertainty over the explorer’s ability to continue without further capital or spending cuts. The company is redirecting its portfolio towards gold assets in Côte d’Ivoire and Western Australia, backed by a partly completed $4 million post-year-end placement.

Australia United Mining has reported a $596,624 loss, $20,802 in cash and a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company’s Forsayth project generated a modest production return, but operations remain dependent on further funding and related-party creditor support.

Truscott Mining has confirmed gold mineralisation at a new Westminster structural target and is preparing diamond drilling ahead of a JORC 2012 resource update. The exploration progress comes alongside a larger loss, ongoing funding dependence and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

Golden Dragon Mining’s first full financial year as an ASX-listed explorer delivered high-grade shallow gold results at Cue, but also a $735,073 loss and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over going concern. A subsequent $2.2 million placement has strengthened the balance sheet, leaving drilling results and funding discipline as the key tests for FY2027.

Battery Age Minerals finished FY26 with stronger cash reserves and drilling progress across Austria and Argentina, but warned that further funding or asset realisations are needed to sustain planned exploration. The company reported a $4.97 million loss, including a $2.60 million non-cash charge linked to its diluted Eminence Minerals holding.

Tempest Minerals has reported a $4.62 million FY2026 loss after impairing $3.28 million of exploration assets, while cash fell to $969,693. The company retains exposure to Range gold drilling, the Remorse iron deposit and a $3.08 million Capricorn Metals shareholding, but says further funding will be needed to sustain exploration.

Cokal’s 60%-owned BBM subsidiary has pushed repayment of a US$20 million capital sum from January 2027 to January 2030. The relief comes with deferred fees carrying 10% annual interest and marketing rights over the first 20 million tonnes of mine production.

Oceana Metals has begun a 20,000-metre diamond drilling campaign at its Serra Negra rare earths project in Brazil, backed by high-grade historic assays and fresh capital. But the company’s $11.5 million FY2026 loss and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over going concern add a harder edge to the exploration story.

The Takeovers Panel has allowed Pengana Capital Group to withdraw its challenge to Pengana International Equities’ buy-back and proposed rights issue, but stopped short of endorsing the transactions. The regulator said it remained concerned about the structure and warned that settlement terms must not obstruct future proceedings.

Pivotal Metals’ maiden scoping study gives its Horden Lake copper project a projected post-tax NPV of A$920 million against A$411 million of pre-production capital. The headline returns are strong, but the project remains a preliminary study with no Ore Reserve, material Inferred Resource exposure and more than A$400 million still to raise.
