Latest Joint Ventures News

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. The company’s Forsayth project generated a modest production return, but operations remain dependent on further funding and related-party creditor support.

Patronus Resources enters FY2027 with approximately 2.3 million ounces of gold-equivalent Mineral Resources, $65.1 million in cash and liquid investments, and a 30,000-metre Northern Territory drilling campaign underway. The annual report also records an $8.6 million net loss and a proposed uranium rights transaction that remains conditional.

Latitude 66 returned to a A$1.71 million FY2026 profit as asset sales funded a larger gold resource base and major KSB milestones. But the auditor flagged material uncertainty over the explorer’s ability to continue without further funding.

Hawk Resources has reported broad near-surface copper mineralisation at its Cactus project, while its FY2026 loss widened and the company flagged a continuing need for fresh funding. The explorer ended June with A$4.52 million in cash after substantial equity raisings and has since secured an 80% Olympus scandium interest for A$1.36 million.

Chalice Mining is moving Gonneville from study to execution, with a feasibility study underway and a targeted investment decision in the first half of 2028. The project’s sizeable economics sit alongside a A$26.2 million annual loss and a funding task that remains unresolved.

Orbminco has shifted from exploration to gold development, with Majestic North now carrying a 50,300-ounce JORC resource and a proposed low-capital route towards production. The annual report also flags material uncertainty over going concern as cash stood at $1.92 million after a loss-making year.

Beacon Minerals has reported a sharp FY2026 recovery, underpinned by higher gold revenue, Lady Ida production and a substantial increase in the Iguana Ore Reserve. The headline profit includes a sizeable asset-sale gain, leaving the next test focused on recurring mine performance.

Blaze Minerals reported a narrower FY2026 loss, but ended the year with just $43,552 in cash and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company is relying on shareholder-approved funding, a proposed 20:1 consolidation and a conditional Ugandan tungsten acquisition to reshape its next phase.

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.

PTR Minerals has posted a 463 million tonne maiden resource for its Rosewood titanium project, backed by strong early processing results and fresh funding. The next test is whether the large geological inventory can become an economically viable mine.

Temas Resources and SAGA Metals have begun an eight-week optimisation program aimed at turning strong laboratory recoveries into a defined processing flowsheet and first high-purity titanium, vanadium and iron products. A successful stage could lead to a C$650,000-C$750,000 mini-pilot, although that funding remains subject to technical results and SAGA approval.

Strike Energy is moving from construction into execution, with its 85 MW South Erregulla power project nearing commercial operations and a 251 PJ West Erregulla reserve base underpinning its next gas development. The opportunity comes with a weaker FY26 earnings result, A$111.4 million of net debt and major funding obligations arriving from late 2026.
