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.

American West Metals expanded its Storm copper resource and reported a major indium-zinc-gold intersection at West Desert during FY2026. But the ASX-listed explorer remains reliant on further funding, with the auditor flagging material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

D3 Energy has lifted its combined 2C recoverable helium resource by 65% to 35.6 BCF while securing A$6.12 million in fresh capital. The annual report also shows the cost of advancing the portfolio, with the FY2026 loss widening to A$6.11 million and operating cash outflow reaching A$3.84 million.

Mont Royal Resources has used its first post-merger annual report to set out the scale of the Ashram rare earths project, while flagging the funding, permitting and technical work still ahead. The updated study outlines a 30-year operation with a C$2.03 billion post-tax NPV, but remains a preliminary assessment rather than a development guarantee.

Bindi Metals has converted its Ravni project in Serbia from surface exploration into a drill-tested gold-silver system, but the discovery story arrives alongside a larger loss and an auditor’s going-concern warning. The company ended June with $1.68 million in cash and a pipeline of follow-up drilling still dependent on future funding.

Prospect Resources has taken its flagship Mumbezhi Copper Project to 208.1 million tonnes, while lifting ownership to 90% and securing A$45 million for the next phase of work. The project remains pre-production, leaving the upcoming Scoping Study and further drilling to convert geological scale into an economic case.

Western Mines Group has reported its richest basal nickel intersection yet at Mulga Tank, including 38 metres at 0.71% nickel from more than 1.3 kilometres underground. The exploration progress is substantial, but the company also recorded a larger annual loss, limited year-end cash and a material going-concern uncertainty.

Lachlan Star’s 2026 annual report puts its 90%-owned New Waverley project at the centre of the company’s exploration strategy after drilling outlined shallow, high-grade gold mineralisation across roughly 400 metres. The company ended the year with $6.52 million in cash, but remains loss-making and without a mineral resource or ore reserve.

Podium Minerals says optimisation work has maintained approximately 80% overall 3E recovery while cutting the targeted size of its downstream recovery circuit by about half. The technical gains came alongside a larger annual loss and an explicit reliance on further funding to advance Parks Reef.

Peako has completed its 100% acquisition of six Saudi Arabian gold projects covering 862 square kilometres, clearing the way for maiden drilling from October. Recent fieldwork has identified extensive high-grade vein systems, but the reported grades remain exploration indicators rather than a mineral resource.

Viking Mines has confirmed thick tungsten intervals both beneath and above historic workings at its Linka project in Nevada, including 18 metres at 0.42% WO3 and 13 metres at 0.46% WO3. The results strengthen the geological model, but reassays affecting parts of two holes leave an important qualification hanging over the latest batch.

Ballymore Resources has extended high-grade silver-lead-zinc-indium mineralisation closer to surface at its Torpy’s discovery in North Queensland. The latest drilling supports a multiple-shoot interpretation, but the project remains at an early exploration stage with assays pending and no Mineral Resource defined.
