Latest Gold And Silver News

Vertex Minerals’ Reward Gold Mine produced 679 ounces in its first production year, but the transition came with a A$16.4 million loss, negative operating cash flow and a formal going-concern warning. The company now faces a narrow window to prove its mechanised mining plan can lift production before debt repayments and further funding decisions bite.

Manuka Resources has received its first gold revenue after restarting processing at the Wonawinta plant in New South Wales. The company expects fortnightly gold revenue of A$3.0 million to A$4.0 million through the end of 2026, although sales remain dependent on the plant reaching steady state.

Broken Hill Gold has recast itself from explorer to South Australian gold operator, producing its first doré while uncovering a deeper gold-copper sulphide system at White Dam. The transformation came with a $14.46 million FY2026 loss and continuing reliance on capital markets.

Piche Resources has identified a broad gold-silver system at Toro Hosco in Argentina after completing its maiden 5,911-metre drilling campaign. The exploration progress came alongside a $5.27 million annual loss, $5.22 million operating cash outflow and reliance on post-year-end equity funding.

QMines has moved its Mt Chalmers copper-gold project into a Definitive Feasibility Study after securing a $15 million strategic package from QIC. The development push comes alongside a larger annual loss, $9.21 million in operating cash outflow and continued reliance on future funding.

Taruga Minerals has transformed its exploration strategy around two Papua New Guinea projects, but the next phase comes with a clear funding constraint. The ASX-listed explorer ended FY2026 with A$1.84 million in cash, a A$3.77 million loss and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

Rimfire Pacific Mining has expanded its NSW scandium inventory and reported preliminary leach results that could support a simpler extraction route. But the ASX explorer ended FY2026 with $583,770 in cash, negative working capital and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

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.

NewPeak Metals reported a $4.36 million FY2026 profit, but the result was driven mainly by fair-value gains and investment disposals rather than mining revenue. The auditor has flagged a material uncertainty over going concern even after the explorer secured a post-year-end $3.5 million placement.

Barton Gold has moved deeper into development after raising $40.9 million, completing its largest-ever drilling campaign and ending FY2026 with $31.9 million in cash. The progress came alongside a $22.4 million loss as spending accelerated across Tunkillia, Challenger, Tolmer and Wudinna.

G50 Corp has moved from early-stage exploration towards a two-project drilling campaign, backed by a post-year-end A$26.25 million placement. The company remains loss-making and reliant on exploration success, but says the capital allows uninterrupted work at its Arizona and Nevada projects.

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.
