EcoGraf has replaced its earlier Epanko announcement after ASX correspondence, setting out the assumptions behind a potential increase in Stage 1 production to 87,600 tonnes per annum. The higher-throughput case lowers estimated unit costs, but remains preliminary and is not yet the basis for project financing or a final investment decision.

Black Rock Mining has advanced early works at its Mahenge graphite project, but the annual report warns that securing approximately US$298 million of project funding by November is critical to its survival as a going concern. The company ended FY2026 with A$4.7 million in cash and an A$7.6 million net loss.

International Graphite has moved its graphite processing strategy from plans towards construction and joint ventures, but the FY2026 annual report shows the company remains loss-making and reliant on external funding. Collie is scheduled for building completion in Q2 2027, while the proposed European hub still requires financing and development work.

Kingsland Minerals has advanced its flagship Leliyn Graphite Project into pre-feasibility, backed by high-grade drilling, gallium testwork and a A$2.16 million capital raising. But the ASX-listed explorer finished FY2026 with only A$458,032 in cash and remains dependent on further funding.

Pure Resources finished 2026 with $3.67 million in cash and no debt after raising $4.7 million, but its annual loss widened as it shifted from explorer to a Garnet Hills-led advanced materials platform. The company is now pursuing garnet abrasives, jumbo flake graphite and heavy rare earth recovery through US research and defence partnerships.

Quantum Graphite has moved Uley 2 into front-end engineering and design, renewed key mining leases and formalised its downstream structure with Sunlands Pure Group. But the company ended FY2026 with just $210,710 in cash, $10.50 million in borrowings and an auditor-documented material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

Metal Bank has made Homestead its preferred route to first Western Australian gold production, targeting 2027 while reporting a $4.38 million annual loss and a material going-concern uncertainty. The company ended June with $1.86 million in cash and says further funding may be required.

Infini Resources has expanded and intensified its Canadian uranium exploration, but the ASX-listed explorer remains dependent on future funding despite ending FY26 with A$6.36 million in cash. Its auditor highlighted a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

NGX Limited (ASX:NGX) has warned of a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern after cash reserves fell to A$1.65 million. The minerals explorer says it will need additional working capital through September 2027, despite advancing graphite, rutile and uranium projects.

Lincoln Minerals has moved Minbrie’s Eagle Ridge prospect towards diamond drilling after air core work supported its geological model. But the ASX-listed explorer remains loss-making, cash-burning and dependent on further funding to continue its exploration program.
