Latest Gallium News

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.

Bubalus Resources finished 2026 with $3.03 million in cash after posting a $1.62 million loss and writing off $1.01 million of exploration assets. The exploration company is narrowing its focus across Victorian gold, rare earths and lithium targets, but says further funding may be required.

Renegade Exploration has sharpened its portfolio around Nevada and Yukon exploration, with several targets moving towards drilling after high-grade surface results. But the ASX-listed junior ended FY2026 with just $59,869 in cash and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

Australasian Metals has paired a sharply smaller annual loss with a $1.05 million placement aimed at exploring two proposed Côte d’Ivoire lithium projects. The projects remain an option, not an acquisition, while May Queen drilling is being prepared in Queensland.

Nimy Resources has paired a maiden gallium resource and encouraging metallurgical recoveries with a sharp warning about funding pressure and an unresolved Lind legal dispute. The explorer ended FY2026 with $3.92 million in cash, but a $4.76 million Lind liability and an auditor-flagged going-concern uncertainty remain central risks.

Narryer Metals has advanced its Australian critical-minerals portfolio and agreed to acquire the Redhill Copper Project, but its FY2026 accounts flag a material uncertainty over continued funding. The company ended the year with A$1.36 million in cash after a A$1.32 million loss attributable to shareholders.

Western Yilgarn expanded its inferred bauxite inventory to 244Mt and added gallium, tellurium, cobalt, scandium and gold targets during FY2026. But the explorer ended the year with $159,481 in cash, a $1.78 million loss and an auditor warning that further funding is required to continue planned activities.

Connected Minerals has made Angola’s Bailundo niobium and rare earths project its flagship after writing off A$3.40 million in Namibian and Western Australian exploration assets. The pivot is now backed by a completed A$4.5 million placement and a planned 6,000-metre drilling campaign, but Bailundo remains an exploration-stage project without a declared resource.

BluGlass has agreed an A$8.0 million R&D-backed loan with Rockford, refinancing its existing Radium facility and adding about A$5.5 million of liquidity. The funding gives the laser developer more room to scale, but carries a 16.5% interest rate and repayment obligations tied to future tax refunds.

Mount Ridley Mines has reported broad, shallow scandium intersections extending up to 8km beyond the Grass Patch Project’s current Block 1 and Block 2 resource boundaries. The results could support a larger JORC resource, but the company has yet to convert the exploration footprint into an updated estimate.

Eminence Minerals has begun field exploration across three pending licence applications at its Tayra rare earth project in Bahia, Brazil, while continuing a planned 70-hole auger campaign at Campo Grande. The work remains early-stage, with no Mineral Resource defined and Tayra’s tenure still awaiting confirmation from Brazil’s mining regulator.

BluGlass has begun a three-to-five-month, A$286,000 feasibility collaboration with global photonics company Coherent to develop a novel gallium nitride device for scientific and medical applications. The agreement offers technical and commercial promise, but does not yet include a production commitment or confirmed product launch.
