Latest Government Funding News

Westar Resources has reported a $3.30 million FY2026 loss after impairing $2.20 million of exploration assets, predominantly at Gidgee North. The explorer ended the year with $1.85 million in cash after raising $1.98 million, while adding several early-stage gold and copper projects.

Felix Gold advanced bulk extraction, processing and refinery plans at its Alaska antimony project in FY26, but the push came with a larger loss, falling cash and an auditor-documented material uncertainty over going concern. A potential US$18 million Department of Energy award remains subject to negotiation rather than a committed funding source.

Critical Minerals Group has put a substantial economic case around its Lindfield vanadium project, but its FY26 accounts also flag a material uncertainty over funding. The company is targeting a 2027 investment decision while holding less than A$1 million in year-end cash and navigating a leadership change.

Prairie Limited has secured C$6.3 million in interest-free Canadian government financing to fund the next construction phase of its Saskatchewan lithium project. The company is targeting commissioning and first lithium brine production from its initial commercial well in Q4 2026.

IperionX has moved its Virginia titanium operation into 24/7 production, lifting nameplate powder capacity to about 200 tonnes a year while commissioning equipment aimed at higher-value components. The progress came alongside a US$66.8 million annual loss, US$63.5 million of operating and investing cash outflows, and continued reliance on government support, customer qualification and future capital.

Singular Health has signed a non-binding MOU to build and operate a medical imaging repository for Florida Medicaid, with approximately A$3.5 million of potential revenue subject to definitive agreements and delivery. The project could give its 3DICOM platform a state-funded infrastructure reference site, but recurring funding remains unassured.

Tungsten Mining says non-binding debt proposals could fund up to 70% of its Watershed project, equivalent to about A$200 million against estimated pre-production capital of A$274 million. The financing remains uncommitted, with strategic investment, offtake and government-backed options still in play.

Micro-X has secured an eight-month, US$0.75 million contract extension from the US Department of Homeland Security to upgrade its miniature CT baggage scanner for scaled manufacturing. The award advances a technology platform towards possible commercial use, but does not yet represent a product sale or customer deployment.

Litchfield Minerals has expanded its Harts Range exploration model, raised A$8 million and ended FY2026 with A$4.6 million in cash. The opportunity is growing, but the auditor flagged material uncertainty over the company’s ability to fund future operations.

Iron Bear Resources says a new federal-provincial assessment framework, major Labrador clean-energy investment and strategic-project coordination could improve the development pathway for its Canadian iron ore project. The initiatives are supportive, but they do not yet represent project approvals, secured power or construction funding.

OD6 Metals has transformed its portfolio with the completed acquisition of Nevada’s Quinn Fluorspar Project, but the strategic expansion comes alongside a larger loss, ongoing funding needs and substantial permitting risk. The company is now targeting drilling and a maiden resource at Quinn while advancing laboratory-scale rare earth processing work at Splinter Rock.

Wildcat Resources has secured firm commitments for a A$60 million institutional placement to push Tabba Tabba into engineering, site establishment and construction readiness ahead of a definitive feasibility study targeted for later in 2026. The raise strengthens funding, but part of the share issue still requires shareholder approval and the financing does not establish a final investment decision.
