Global Gold Mining ended 2026 with $7.7 million in cash and a cleaner balance sheet, but remains loss-making and dependent on future funding as it pushes Sturec towards a pre-feasibility study.

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.
