Latest Investment Activity News

Vantage Metals has reported high-grade silver-zinc-copper-gold intersections in Argentina, but the exploration win sits alongside a A$26.7 million impairment and a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company ended June with A$2.5 million in cash and remains reliant on further funding.

Amara Minerals has warned of a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern after reporting an $8.79 million FY2026 loss and $2.08 million in cash. The company is advancing Victorian gold-antimony exploration, but further equity funding is required and a GST-related court dispute remains unresolved.

Koonenberry Gold posted a sharply wider FY2026 loss after impairing its namesake project, while exploration spending rose and Enmore drilling extended a gold system to depth. The company has since raised $3.78 million from a placement, but remains dependent on equity funding.

Celsius Resources has reported a sharply wider FY2026 loss after impairing its disputed interest in the MCB copper-gold project, while an Equinaire credit bid has complicated ownership of the Philippine asset. The company is relying on a pending Opuwo sale, fresh financing and arbitration to keep its development strategy alive.

Estrella Resources has delivered a 27,371-tonne manganese stockpile and a maiden 621-million-tonne limestone resource in Timor-Leste, but the operational progress came alongside a $23.98 million FY2026 loss and a $21.13 million impairment of Western Australian assets. The next test is whether the manganese stockpile can become cash and whether Werumata can move beyond an Inferred resource.

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.

Tlou Energy has generated its first revenue from gas-derived power at the Lesedi project, but the milestone sits alongside a A$59.96 million loss, minimal cash and a material going-concern uncertainty. Proposed debt conversions could reduce liabilities, yet neither transaction is binding or provides new funding.

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.

Thor Energy has pushed HY-Range closer to drilling after recording natural hydrogen readings of up to 3% and commissioning a 464 line-kilometre seismic survey. But the annual report also carries an explicit material uncertainty over going concern, leaving funding as the project’s immediate constraint.

Venari Minerals has moved Red Mountain from grassroots discovery to a 3.03Mt lithium carbonate equivalent inferred resource, backed by 99.5% battery-grade lithium carbonate test work. The next test is commercial rather than geological, with drilling, permitting and a planned Scoping Study now competing against a large loss and ongoing funding needs.

Gowing Bros’ FY2026 loss widened to $3.49 million as Surf Hardware International remained deeply loss-making and investment properties were marked down by $3.0 million. The ASX-listed investment company kept its fully franked final dividend at 3 cents per share, despite negative operating cash flow and lower cash reserves.

Benjamin Hornigold Limited (ASX:BHD) delivered a 9.93% portfolio return in FY2026 but still posted a $420,931 loss after $565,697 in legal fees. Two settlements worth $2.6 million were received after year-end, while an $8.97 million judgment against JB Markets was assigned no value.
