Golden Deeps has reported high-grade polymetallic results at its Graceland prospect in Namibia while stepping up deeper drilling across an 800-metre target corridor. The explorer ended FY2026 with $4.218 million in cash, but remains dependent on exploration success and future funding.

Metallium has moved Flash Joule Heating from tiny laboratory tests to multi-reactor campaigns in Texas, backed by feedstock contracts, offtake and A$125 million raised during FY2026. Yet the ASX-listed group remains pre-revenue, lost A$42.8 million and says continued access to funding is a material uncertainty.

Battery Age Minerals finished FY26 with stronger cash reserves and drilling progress across Austria and Argentina, but warned that further funding or asset realisations are needed to sustain planned exploration. The company reported a $4.97 million loss, including a $2.60 million non-cash charge linked to its diluted Eminence Minerals holding.

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.

Zinc of Ireland has transformed from a small Irish zinc explorer into a metals technology developer, acquiring Meclex, raising A$5.5 million and advancing ARGO and VOLTA. The opportunity is substantial, but both technologies remain uncommercialised and the VOLTA partnership requires formal renewal.

Zinc of Ireland’s ARGO hydrometallurgical process achieves near-complete recovery of silver, lead, and copper from zinc leach residues, fast-tracking pilot plant plans for early 2027.

Renegade Exploration has boosted and prolonged its loan facility to $2 million, using shares from its recent Carpentaria JV sale as additional security to support ongoing exploration.

Metallium has resolved a key permitting constraint at its Texas Gator Point campus, enabling chlorinated Flash Joule Heating testing to resume ahead of a major September campaign. The company also marks first revenue from its MXene development program and strengthens engineering leadership.

Golden Deeps has kicked off a deeper diamond drilling program at its Graceland discovery in Namibia, aiming to test high-grade copper-silver-zinc-lead-germanium sulphide zones analogous to the world-class Tsumeb deposit. Recent shallow drilling confirmed continuity of exceptional grades, underpinning the exploration push.

Zinc of Ireland (ASX: ZMI) has fast-tracked its ARGO technology development to recover germanium, gallium, and indium, targeting early 2027 for pilot plant operations. The move aligns with EU regulatory demands for critical minerals and aims to reduce waste and emissions in zinc smelting.

Metallium Limited has demonstrated its Flash Joule Heating technology can process a broad range of critical metal feedstocks, from rare earth ores to industrial wastes, opening new commercial pathways beyond electronic waste.

American West Metals (ASX: AW1) reported significant exploration breakthroughs at its West Desert Project in Utah and ongoing Pre-Feasibility Study progress at the Storm Copper Project in Nunavut, backed by a $10 million capital raise.
