Latest Due Diligence News

Enova Mining has launched a 1-for-4 entitlement offer at A$0.001 a share to raise up to A$495,152 for exploration and working capital. The modest raising sits alongside a proposed A$2 million placement and potential Caraubas acquisition issues that could materially expand the share count.

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.

Noble Helium has rebuilt its balance sheet ahead of drilling at Tanzania’s North Rukwa project, but its auditor has warned that future capital raisings remain critical to the company’s survival. The Kinambo campaign is now moving from preparation to execution, with two wells planned and a prospective helium resource still to be proven.

Patronus Resources enters FY2027 with approximately 2.3 million ounces of gold-equivalent Mineral Resources, $65.1 million in cash and liquid investments, and a 30,000-metre Northern Territory drilling campaign underway. The annual report also records an $8.6 million net loss and a proposed uranium rights transaction that remains conditional.

Hawk Resources has reported broad near-surface copper mineralisation at its Cactus project, while its FY2026 loss widened and the company flagged a continuing need for fresh funding. The explorer ended June with A$4.52 million in cash after substantial equity raisings and has since secured an 80% Olympus scandium interest for A$1.36 million.

Andromeda Metals completed key early works at its Great White kaolin project and achieved 99.9986% HPA purity at pilot scale. But a $98.9 million impairment, $3.2 million cash balance and material going-concern uncertainty leave funding as the decisive hurdle.

PhosCo has expanded its Gasaat phosphate project with a 166.6Mt resource and new processing results, but its auditor has flagged material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASX-listed explorer ended FY2026 with $5.86 million in cash, a $4.48 million consolidated loss and a $2.71 million working capital deficit.

Blaze Minerals reported a narrower FY2026 loss, but ended the year with just $43,552 in cash and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company is relying on shareholder-approved funding, a proposed 20:1 consolidation and a conditional Ugandan tungsten acquisition to reshape its next phase.

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.

Hot Chili’s La Verde copper-gold discovery has expanded rapidly enough to become a cornerstone of the Costa Fuego project, while new funding gives the company room to pursue the next studies and permits. The key test now is whether drilling can translate into a maiden resource and a credible development case.

West Cobar Metals ended FY2026 with more cash but a larger loss and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue without further funding. Exploration advanced across Salazar and Cobar West, but the company remains dependent on equity markets to keep its programmes moving.

Pantera Minerals is seeking a low-cost foothold in Western Australia’s Albany Fraser Orogen through the proposed acquisition of the 470km² Corona Gold Project. The tenure carries an 8km historical gold anomaly and untested auger targets, but the evidence remains reconnaissance-stage and the transaction terms contain a share-count discrepancy that investors will want clarified.
