Kalgoorlie Gold Mining has identified multiple coherent gold-in-regolith anomalies across the first 225-hole aircore test of its LTZ Flexure target at Pinjin. The strongest exploration signal stretches up to 2km, but primary gold mineralisation at depth remains unconfirmed.

Dynamic Metals will sell its Lady Jane Gold Project to First Au for up to A$650,000 while retaining a 1.5% gross revenue royalty. The buyer must spend at least A$250,000 on direct drilling within two years, or Dynamic can seek to take the project back.

Indiana Resources has finished FY2026 with A$30.1 million in cash and term deposits, promising exploration results in South Australia and an unresolved dispute over 18% of its Tanzania settlement proceeds. The company is also preparing for Managing Director and CEO Matthew Bowles to leave in November.

Australian Critical Minerals has emerged from a transformational year with six new Peruvian projects and early Flint drilling pointing towards a possible concealed porphyry system. But the annual report also flags a material uncertainty over going concern, with further funding required to sustain exploration.

Koonenberry Gold posted a sharply wider FY2026 loss after impairing its namesake project, while exploration spending rose and Enmore drilling extended a gold system to depth. The company has since raised $3.78 million from a placement, but remains dependent on equity funding.

Reedy Lagoon is relying on shareholder approval for a $1.8 million underwritten placement after ending the year with $44,416 in cash and a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The recapitalisation would fund exploration, but comes with substantial dilution and a staged repayment of related-party debt.

Sabre Resources has expanded into a 4,000-square-kilometre Northern Territory gold and copper-gold portfolio, but its FY2026 loss more than doubled as cash declined. The company now has drilling underway and fresh capital, alongside a growing funding and dilution burden.

Thor Energy has pushed HY-Range closer to drilling after recording natural hydrogen readings of up to 3% and commissioning a 464 line-kilometre seismic survey. But the annual report also carries an explicit material uncertainty over going concern, leaving funding as the project’s immediate constraint.

Rubix Resources ended FY2026 with a $1.283 million loss, only $95,001 in cash and a net asset deficit, prompting its auditor to flag a material uncertainty over going concern. The company’s Paperbark drilling produced an encouraging copper signal, but further exploration depends on fresh funding.

Tarrina Resources has identified five kilometre-scale IOCG target zones at Walparuta after soil sampling returned copper values up to 2,891 ppm and gold up to 466 ppb. The planned 23-hole drill campaign remains subject to native title, heritage, land access and government approvals.

Truscott Mining has confirmed gold mineralisation at a new Westminster structural target and is preparing diamond drilling ahead of a JORC 2012 resource update. The exploration progress comes alongside a larger loss, ongoing funding dependence and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

North Stawell Minerals has expanded and refined its Darlington-Caledonia exploration targets, including a post-year-end intercept of 0.4 metres at 17.1 g/t gold. But the gold explorer ended FY2026 with $701,960 in cash, a deeper loss and an auditor warning that further funding is needed to sustain operations.
