Dreadnought Resources has sharply reduced its FY2026 loss while building a larger exploration portfolio and advancing two high-grade gold deposits toward potential production. The ASX-listed explorer ended the year with $15.7 million in cash, but remains dependent on funding until operating income arrives.

Alchemy Resources finished FY2026 with a sharply wider loss, lower cash and a smaller asset base, even as drilling delivered strong copper-gold results at Yellow Mountain and high-grade iron results at Valley Bore. The explorer has reshaped its portfolio, but its next phase still depends on exploration success and further funding.

Galileo Mining advanced several PGM, nickel, copper and gold targets at Norseman during FY2026, but a A$4.55 million exploration impairment pushed its annual loss to A$4.67 million. The company ended the year with A$7.48 million in cash and a growing drilling pipeline for Mission Sill and Callisto South.

Cazaly Resources will replace managing director Tara French with mining executive Adrian Byass from 8 October, while launching a review of its exploration portfolio. Byass will receive a $325,000 annual salary and may be granted up to 7 million performance rights, subject to approval and conditions.

Elixir Energy says its Lorelle-3H well reached a peak test rate of 10.5 MMscfd and a stable rate of 2.35 MMscfd during first-phase cleanup. The ASX-listed gas explorer is now preparing for post-soak testing while weighing farm-outs, joint ventures and other structures for its Taroom Trough assets.

PGG Wrightson delivered a sharp improvement in FY26 earnings, with Operating EBITDA up 15% to NZ$64.3 million and net profit rising 46% to NZ$15.6 million. The result supports a fully imputed 5.5 cents per share final dividend, although debt and GO-STOCK receivables have also expanded.

Benz Mining’s quarterly loss widened sharply as exploration spending surged at its Western Australian projects, but a subsequent C$148.02 million placement has given the company substantial funding to accelerate Glenburgh drilling. The project’s 10.1-12.0 million ounce Exploration Target remains conceptual rather than a Mineral Resource.

Prominence Energy has secured an independent resource framework for its Eyre Project, with RISC Advisory estimating 202.8 Bscf of 2U unrisked hydrogen and 9.2 Bscf of helium across 15 leads. The milestone moves the South Australian project towards target selection, potential farm-out discussions and a planned mid-2027 drilling campaign, but the volumes remain undiscovered and highly exploratory.

ADX Energy has secured a potential funding partner for its next Austrian gas well, with Empyrean Energy offering EUR 555,400 for a 10% economic interest in the GOLD Cluster Area. The arrangement remains conditional on a final investment agreement before drilling is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.

AngloGold Ashanti has completed a 2,659-sample soil geochemistry program at EcoGraf’s Golden Eagle project in Tanzania, with results now pending ahead of a planned drilling phase. The work forms part of a US$9 million farm-in while EcoGraf prepares separate exploration across a broader portfolio of gold and critical-minerals targets.

Forte Energy has bought nine more months to secure funding for the required Idris Prospect well after regulators suspended work-program conditions on WA-424-P. The extension preserves the permit, but drilling finance and the prospect’s technical credentials remain unresolved.

H3 Energy says four prospective partners have completed initial evaluations of its Warro gas project and been invited to submit commercial proposals. At Alinya, multiple global energy companies have signed confidentiality agreements and entered the data room, but no binding farm-out deal has yet been secured.
