Neu Horizon has completed the main phase of its Swedish uranium exploration campaign, collecting more than 12,000 line kilometres of airborne geophysical data across its portfolio. The company is now integrating the results and refining targets for a maiden drilling programme planned for early 2027, subject to permitting.

FireFly Metals has turned a year of aggressive drilling into a substantially larger, higher-confidence Green Bay resource, backed by an August PEA and fresh funding. The next test is execution: feasibility, permits, construction decisions and the capital required to build a mine.

Antipa Minerals has expanded its Minyari Project resource to 3.6 million ounces of gold equivalent and advanced key pre-feasibility work, including conventional processing and deeper open-pit studies. The progress comes with an auditor-highlighted going-concern uncertainty as the company prepares for further exploration and development spending.

Dreadnought Resources has sharply reduced its FY2026 loss while building a larger exploration portfolio and advancing two high-grade gold deposits toward potential production. The ASX-listed explorer ended the year with $15.7 million in cash, but remains dependent on funding until operating income arrives.

Alchemy Resources finished FY2026 with a sharply wider loss, lower cash and a smaller asset base, even as drilling delivered strong copper-gold results at Yellow Mountain and high-grade iron results at Valley Bore. The explorer has reshaped its portfolio, but its next phase still depends on exploration success and further funding.

Condor Energy has consolidated 100% ownership of its offshore Peru acreage and moved its 1 Tcf Piedra Redonda gas discovery closer to commercialisation. The company enters FY2027 with a larger resource base and stronger project control, but auditors have warned that additional funding is needed to sustain operations.

Altitude Minerals has secured a $1.215 million placement and plans a further $1.487 million rights issue to fund drilling at its Nevada gold-silver projects. The raising offers free options, but shareholders who do not participate in the non-renounceable offer face dilution.

Hydrix has secured a three-year contract with Singapore’s National Heart Centre to deploy the Implicity remote cardiac monitoring platform. The agreement is expected to generate about A$0.625 million, although the final value depends on patient volumes and implementation.

ABx Group has locked in approximately $4.1 million through a placement and fully underwritten share purchase plan, with strategic partner Good Importing International committing $1 million. The funding will support the Deep Leads rare earths project and construction and commissioning of the ALCORE pilot plant, but comes with substantial new equity and options.

Chariot Resources has secured A$1.1 million from institutional and sophisticated investors to advance its proposed Nigerian lithium acquisition, exploration and partner-funded development program. The raising also brings potential option dilution and only partially addresses the company’s secured debt.

Maronan Metals has reported broad and high-grade silver-lead intersections from its ongoing 40,000-metre infill program, including 11 metres at 10.3% lead and 116g/t silver. More than 15,000 metres have now been completed, with results feeding a planned 2027 resource update and pre-feasibility study.

Echo IQ says it sees a path to US FDA clearance for EchoSolv HF after receiving a Not Substantially Equivalent determination. The company is weighing an appeal, an Ombudsman review or a fresh 510(k) submission, but has not selected a route or set a firm timetable.
