The results give the explorer a sharper target ahead of follow-up geophysics and potential drilling, although the project remains at an early exploration stage.

Sabre Resources has expanded into a 4,000-square-kilometre Northern Territory gold and copper-gold portfolio, but its FY2026 loss more than doubled as cash declined. The company now has drilling underway and fresh capital, alongside a growing funding and dilution burden.

European Lithium reported a A$930.6 million FY2026 profit, but the headline result was dominated by a A$1.276 billion accounting gain after losing control of Critical Metals Corp. The company now heads towards an October vote on a merger that would fold its cash, CRML stake and mineral assets into a single NASDAQ-listed group.

Westar Resources has reported a $3.30 million FY2026 loss after impairing $2.20 million of exploration assets, predominantly at Gidgee North. The explorer ended the year with $1.85 million in cash after raising $1.98 million, while adding several early-stage gold and copper projects.

Ellerston Asia Growth Fund Complex ETF (ASX: EAFZ) returned 38.4% after fees for the year ended 30 June 2026, beating its Asian equities benchmark by 2.6 percentage points.

H3 Energy has consolidated ownership of its Alinya hydrogen and helium project and reframed Warro as a potential commercial gas development, but its annual report warns that funding remains critical. The company ended FY2026 with A$900,434 in cash, net liabilities of A$551,671 and a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

NewPeak Metals reported a $4.36 million FY2026 profit, but the result was driven mainly by fair-value gains and investment disposals rather than mining revenue. The auditor has flagged a material uncertainty over going concern even after the explorer secured a post-year-end $3.5 million placement.

KGL Resources says its Jervois copper project is funded through construction and ramp-up after a US$300 million Wheaton agreement and a post-year-end A$300 million equity raising.

Rubix Resources ended FY2026 with a $1.283 million loss, only $95,001 in cash and a net asset deficit, prompting its auditor to flag a material uncertainty over going concern. The company’s Paperbark drilling produced an encouraging copper signal, but further exploration depends on fresh funding.
