Latest Joint Ventures News

Lord Resources has extended copper mineralisation across multiple lodes at Ilgarari, but its FY2026 annual report carries a material uncertainty over whether the explorer can continue as a going concern. The company ended the year with $554,820 in cash after a $2.54 million loss and $1.87 million of operating cash outflows.

GCM Corporation’s FY26 report charts its shift from explorer to thermal-management manufacturer, with independent VHD validation, 44 products and first reported product sales. But the company remains loss-making, cash-burning and dependent on further funding, while its auditor warns of material uncertainty over going concern.

Renegade Exploration has sharpened its portfolio around Nevada and Yukon exploration, with several targets moving towards drilling after high-grade surface results. But the ASX-listed junior ended FY2026 with just $59,869 in cash and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

Evion Group has moved its flagship Maniry graphite project into the development stage and secured a binding German offtake terms sheet, but its FY2026 accounts carry a material going concern warning. The company also faces an unpaid A$730,000 placement shortfall as it funds graphite, fluorspar and downstream expansion plans.

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.

Tamboran Resources has delivered first gas from the Beetaloo Basin into the Northern Territory network, while completing its Sturt Plateau compression facility about US$9 million below forecast. The commercial milestone remains an early-stage start: volumes are demand-limited and commissioning is still underway.

Greenwing Resources has warned of material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern after reporting a $3.90 million loss for FY2026. The result was hit by a $2.23 million non-cash impairment at its dormant Graphmada graphite mine, while cash remains below near-term project commitments.

Cullen Resources posted a $340,251 FY2026 profit after selling its Wyloo iron ore royalty for $1.5 million. The result came with a qualified audit opinion over its remaining iron ore-related assets and a warning that further capital raisings will be needed.

Miramar Resources has outlined a maiden 39,764-ounce Inferred gold resource at its Gidji joint venture, but its annual report also flags material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. A September placement has improved liquidity, though further funding and drilling remain central to the story.

Nexsen has proposed a 50:50 joint venture with FlashDx Shenzhen to develop and commercialise an enhanced molecular Group B Streptococcus test, using an existing CE-marked platform as its starting point. The proposed venture could shorten Nexsen’s path into hospital and intrapartum testing across Asia-Pacific, but the term sheet remains non-binding and regulatory work is still ahead.

Astral Resources has strengthened its balance sheet and expanded its Mandilla gold resource as it moves from explorer toward developer. The next test is converting deep drilling, permitting progress and a proposed early-production joint venture into funded construction decisions.

Metals Australia has established a maiden 45.7Mt Inferred VTM resource at Manindi West, alongside test work producing titanium oxide above 99% purity. The opportunity is sizeable, but remains an early-stage resource supported by conceptual expansion targets and screening-level economics.
