Javelin Minerals is pursuing an all-scrip takeover by FirstAU after its planned Eureka production partnership with MEGA Resources was terminated over regional processing constraints. The company reported a $2.69 million FY2026 loss, $3.92 million in cash and an auditor warning that further funding is required.

Vection Technologies delivered its first positive full-year operating cash flow and a sharp rise in adjusted EBITDA in FY26. Yet the audited report warns that continued operations depend on stronger sales, margin gains, cost reductions and potential access to further capital.

H3 Energy has consolidated ownership of its Alinya hydrogen and helium project and reframed Warro as a potential commercial gas development, but its annual report warns that funding remains critical. The company ended FY2026 with A$900,434 in cash, net liabilities of A$551,671 and a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

Energy Technologies has reported a deeper FY2026 loss, collapsing revenue and a $22.65 million equity deficiency, with its auditor flagging material uncertainty over the group’s ability to continue as a going concern. A five-year laser optics licence offers a potential new revenue path, but it remains conditional on development and future commercial sales.

Strickland Metals has lifted its Rogozna resource to 9.25 million ounces of gold equivalent, but the exploration company also reported a A$10.39 million FY2026 loss. The cash balance rose sharply after a A$55.11 million placement as the company prepares for studies, permitting and a leadership transition.

Silver Mines has built a substantially larger economic case for Bowdens, but the project still needs NSW approval before its 93.5 million ounce reserve can become a mine. The company is now funding the next phase with a A$70 million placement while absorbing dilution and a major royalty buy-back.

Larvotto Resources has extended high-grade antimony-gold-tungsten mineralisation at Clarks Gully about 100 metres beyond its 2025 resource model, with drilling also identifying several hanging-wall lodes. The results could support a larger resource and a potential underground feed source for Hillgrove, but assays, modelling and permitting work remain outstanding.

6K Additive has signed a 30-month Nickel 718 powder supply agreement with US advanced manufacturer ADDMAN, carrying a stated value of up to US$10.8 million. The deal also introduces a buy-back arrangement for used powder, linking new sales with recycled feedstock.

PDI Gold’s first full annual report after its Robex merger shows a transformed West African gold business with US$193.7 million in cash and two producing mines. The statutory result remains a US$63.7 million loss, while Bankan’s next phase still depends on an exploitation permit from Guinea.

Odyssey Gold has secured a native vegetation clearing permit and a new mining lease at Tuckanarra, while refurbishment work at the planned Kirkalocka processing facility moves ahead. The first toll milling parcel is targeted for June 2027, but a required joint venture agreement remains unresolved.

Independent LONGi testwork has produced 66.3% to 68.0% Fe magnetite concentrates from four Magnetite Range samples using a bench-scale dry flowsheet. The results strengthen the case for a water-efficient route in Accent Resources' pre-feasibility study, but remain preliminary and untested at pilot scale.

Barton Gold has moved deeper into development after raising $40.9 million, completing its largest-ever drilling campaign and ending FY2026 with $31.9 million in cash. The progress came alongside a $22.4 million loss as spending accelerated across Tunkillia, Challenger, Tolmer and Wudinna.
