Latest Funds News

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. Proposed debt conversions could reduce liabilities, yet neither transaction is binding or provides new funding.

Botala Energy’s Serowe CBM project has reached its most important testing phase after well 3.5B delivered strong early water production and casing pressure. The operational progress is material, but the company still faces a funding hurdle and has not yet demonstrated sustained commercial gas flow.

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. The company is now concentrating its exploration story on the reinstated Couflens tungsten-gold project in France, while carrying a conceptual zinc-lead target in Gabon.

Heavy Rare Earths has identified high-grade heavy rare earth zones at Subron while preparing drilling across its South Australian portfolio. But the FY2026 report also highlights a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, with only $459,327 in cash at year-end.

Victor Group Holdings has swung from a $1.43 million profit to a $3.93 million half-year loss after fully impairing its iRich Finance investment. Revenue rose sharply, but operating cash flow remained negative and auditors identified a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Rincon Resources posted a $6.96 million FY2026 loss after writing down $5.53 million of exploration assets, while its cash balance rose following a $3.1 million placement. The explorer has narrowed its focus to Telfer South and Crackerbox, but remains dependent on future drilling and funding.

Killi Resources has emerged from FY2026 with $14.68 million in cash and a far larger strategic ambition, centred on its proposed 80% acquisition of the Lodestone Iron Ore Project. The company remains loss-making and the transaction was still conditional at year-end, but a 20,000-metre drilling campaign is now targeting rapid resource growth.

Rumble Resources has moved Western Queen closer to a potential 2027 gold start, pairing a larger resource with third-party processing access and A$10 million in royalty funding. The project remains pre-production, however, with approvals, financing, feasibility work and a final investment decision still outstanding.

Raptor Metals completed its transformation into a Canadian copper and polymetallic explorer in FY2026, backed by drilling success at Chester and new Bathurst Mining Camp acquisitions. But the company’s $3.28 million loss, $3.97 million operating cash outflow and auditor-flagged funding uncertainty leave the next capital raise as a central investor question.

XPON Technologies has completed the sale of Datisan to Incubeta Australia, securing $8.1 million in cash and potential additional earn-out consideration of up to A$2 million. The transaction leaves XPON focused on its Wondaris AI Marketing Platform and AI-sector acquisitions.

HiTech Group Australia delivered a weaker FY2026 profit and lower revenue, but finished with $10.56 million in cash and no debt before completing its Hudson acquisition. The post-year-end deal and $4 million institutional raise now place execution, funding and integration at the centre of the story.

Axel REE has more than doubled the Woolrich resource to 264.6 million tonnes and delivered its first Indicated classification at the Brazilian rare earths project. The upgrade comes as the loss-making explorer prepares a controlled in-situ recovery field validation program, with A$5.73 million in cash at year-end.
