Latest Impairment Charges News

Pioneer Minerals has warned of a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern after closing FY2026 with just A$80,302 in cash. The company is relying on a proposed A$2.5 million capital raising while pushing its Idaho tungsten-gold-gallium project towards maiden drilling.

Tempest Minerals has reported a $4.62 million FY2026 loss after impairing $3.28 million of exploration assets, while cash fell to $969,693. The company retains exposure to Range gold drilling, the Remorse iron deposit and a $3.08 million Capricorn Metals shareholding, but says further funding will be needed to sustain exploration.

Resource Base Limited (ASX:RBX) reduced its FY2026 loss, but ended the year with only $140,776 in cash and an auditor warning of material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company is relying on fresh capital to advance early-stage titanium targets in South Australia.

Riedel Resources has completed the equity-funded acquisition of the Cosmo and Mt Venn gold projects, expanding its exploration portfolio beyond Arizona. But the annual report carries a material going-concern uncertainty, leaving future drilling dependent on further capital and execution.

Western Ridge Resources reported a $12.22 million loss for the year ended 30 June 2026, with cash falling to $407,860 and its auditor warning of a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The company is now relying on Keystone drilling and further funding to advance its Nevada exploration strategy.

ActivEX has eliminated its borrowings and reported a 310,000-ounce gold resource at Mt Hogan, but the balance sheet remains dependent on future funding. The ASX-listed explorer posted a $2.149 million loss after impairing exploration assets by $2.616 million.

Group 6 Metals has reported a sharp FY2026 turnaround, backed by stronger tungsten sales, improved plant performance and A$55.7 million in operating cash flow. The result also carries substantial accounting benefits, while the next test is whether underground mining can make the improvement durable.

Power Minerals has repositioned around two Brazilian critical minerals projects, led by Morro do Ferro’s thick, high-grade rare earth intersections and a conceptual 10.7Mt Exploration Target. The shift comes with stronger funding and no borrowings, but the audited accounts warn that further financing remains essential.

Fin Resources’ first drilling campaign at Cabin Lake delivered gold in all eight holes, including two high-grade shallow intersections at Arrow. But the ASX-listed explorer also reported a sharply wider loss, a major impairment and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue without further capital.

Famien Resources has used the year to pivot decisively from Australian exploration towards a 3,700km² gold portfolio in Côte d’Ivoire, backed by A$15.2 million in placements and A$13.1 million in cash. Early drilling has produced several high-grade intercepts, but the company remains loss-making and has yet to declare a mineral resource.

Strike Energy has moved South Erregulla into final commissioning and lifted West Erregulla’s net 2P reserves by about 20%, but the project-heavy year came with sharply lower earnings and operating cash flow. The company is now relying on execution, financing and new production to convert a larger asset base into cash generation.

Everest Metals moved Mt Dimer into mining, established a 260,780-ounce Revere gold resource and upgraded its Mt Edon rubidium project in FY2026. Yet the company remains loss-making, has impaired its Mt Dimer development assets and warns that future funding and project cash inflows are needed to support its going-concern assessment.
