Latest Drilling Programs News

Tasman Resources has swung to a $16.5 million FY2026 profit after booking a $19.48 million gain when Eden Innovations ceased to be controlled. The explorer also ended the year with $5.65 million in cash and no borrowings, but its next test is geological rather than accounting: drilling at Titan West and Parkinson Dam.

Indiana Resources has finished FY2026 with A$30.1 million in cash and term deposits, promising exploration results in South Australia and an unresolved dispute over 18% of its Tanzania settlement proceeds. The company is also preparing for Managing Director and CEO Matthew Bowles to leave in November.

QMines has moved its Mt Chalmers copper-gold project into a Definitive Feasibility Study after securing a $15 million strategic package from QIC. The development push comes alongside a larger annual loss, $9.21 million in operating cash outflow and continued reliance on future funding.

Ragnar Metals has identified at least five interpreted mineralised shoots at its Harnäs gold project in Sweden, but the exploration-led company ended FY2026 with only $233,220 in cash. The annual report also restates FY2025 after previously omitted Kaiser Reef options were recognised at $779,288.

Rokeby Resources has shifted its centre of gravity to the Omeo Gold Project, but the strategic reset comes after a near-doubling annual loss and with substantial future funding obligations. The company ended FY2026 with A$3.39 million in cash and drilling underway at Sunnyside.

Vantage Metals has reported high-grade silver-zinc-copper-gold intersections in Argentina, but the exploration win sits alongside a A$26.7 million impairment and a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company ended June with A$2.5 million in cash and remains reliant on further funding.

High-Tech Metals enters FY2027 with $9.8 million in cash after a major option exercise, while its Western Australian gold portfolio advances toward development. The company remains loss-making and has no Ore Reserves, leaving drilling, studies and future funding as the key tests.

GBM Resources has paired encouraging gold results beyond the existing Twin Hills resource with a substantially stronger balance sheet after a A$40 million placement and convertible-note repayment. The exploration-stage company finished the year with A$31.7 million in cash, but its next resource upgrade still depends on assays and further drilling.

Maverick Minerals finished FY2026 with $5.3 million in cash after raising $6 million, but warned that further funding will be needed to sustain its expanded exploration program. The auditor highlighted a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Odessa Minerals has expanded its Western Australian exploration targets and ended FY2026 with $3.66 million in cash, but its annual loss nearly doubled as equity-based payments increased. The company is now preparing a maiden 10,000-metre air-core program while remaining dependent on future funding and exploration success.

Heavy Rare Earths has identified high-grade heavy rare earth zones at Subron while preparing drilling across its South Australian portfolio. But the FY2026 report also highlights a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, with only $459,327 in cash at year-end.

Killi Resources has emerged from FY2026 with $14.68 million in cash and a far larger strategic ambition, centred on its proposed 80% acquisition of the Lodestone Iron Ore Project. The company remains loss-making and the transaction was still conditional at year-end, but a 20,000-metre drilling campaign is now targeting rapid resource growth.
