Manuka Resources has moved its Wonawinta and Mt Boppy restart from planning towards production, but its FY26 annual report carries a qualified audit opinion and warns of material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

Rumble Resources has moved Western Queen closer to a potential 2027 gold start, pairing a larger resource with third-party processing access and A$10 million in royalty funding.

Tribune Resources delivered a sharply stronger FY2026 result, with revenue up 28.4% and profit attributable to shareholders rising to $75.7 million. The result was helped by a $35.0 million reversal of the prior Raleigh impairment, while operating cash flow and year-end cash both fell.

Emu NL has moved from geological validation at Fiery Creek into a larger drilling campaign at its Yataga Valley copper project, after ending FY2026 with $3.15 million in cash.

Australia United Mining has reported a $596,624 loss, $20,802 in cash and a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.
