Mount Ridley Mines has used its FY2026 annual report to put scale and processing progress at the centre of its Grass Patch story, including a post-year-end scandium resource upgrade to 946.1 million tonnes.

Apollo Minerals ended 2026 with A$7.74 million in cash and no debt after raising A$9.3 million, but remains a loss-making explorer with no JORC Mineral Resources or production.
