Resources & Energy Group has signed the definitive Maranoa mining agreement under which Rembrandt Mining will fund all development, processing and rehabilitation capital. The quarter also delivered high-grade drilling results across East Menzies, although REZ produced no gold and cash fell to A$734,000.

Blaze Minerals has reported exceptionally high-grade tungsten channel samples from its Bahati Project in Uganda, while completing the $2.06 million second tranche of a larger placement after quarter end. The September quarter closed with just $184,000 in cash and an estimated 0.38 quarters of funding before that financing was received.

Perpetual Resources has expanded its Nevada Scheelite tungsten project more than 15-fold and reported selective underground samples grading up to 12.03% WO₃. The exploration momentum comes with a sharper funding question, with A$1.639 million in cash and an estimated 2.37 quarters of funding at 30 September.

Manhattan Gold has completed its largest-ever Hook Lake drilling campaign, with strong gold results at Jaws and polymetallic sulphide intercepts at Spectre widening the project’s exploration case. But five assays remain outstanding, the next funding tranche still needs shareholder approval, and the company reports only 1.54 quarters of cash coverage on its current spending basis.

Perpetual Resources has returned selective underground tungsten assays of up to 12.03% WO₃ at its Nevada Scheelite project, with eight of nine underground samples above 1%. The results are encouraging but do not yet establish grade continuity, mineralised widths or a resource.

Evion Group has secured mining permits for its flagship Maniry graphite project in Madagascar and signed its first binding supply commitment, while its Nevada fluorspar exploration and Indian downstream operations also advanced. The company ended September with A$5.755 million in cash, but major development milestones still depend on funding, approvals and final agreements.

Great Bear Exploration has completed its maiden field campaign in Canada’s Northwest Territories, generating more than 200 high-priority targets ahead of planned 2027 drilling. The company ended September with $3.508 million in cash, but assays from 103 rock-chip samples are still pending and half of its airborne survey remains unfinished.

Strike Resources swung to an $8.58 million FY2026 profit, largely through its stake in LE Minerals rather than iron ore operations. The company is also relying on a conditional Apurimac sale for cash while withdrawing its previously reported mineral resource estimate.

Tivan Limited (ASX:TVN) is moving several projects towards major technical and financing milestones, including a proposed $50 million Molyhil joint venture and maiden drilling in Timor-Leste. The company ended September with $19.925 million in cash, equivalent to about 2.3 quarters of funding at the quarter’s reported spending rate.

Rokeby Resources has defined a maiden 6,100-ounce Inferred JORC resource at the Maude tailings stockpile in Victoria, adding to a broader 17,497-ounce surface stockpile inventory. The opportunity is shallow and potentially low-capital, but the estimate still rests on historical data, assumed density and incomplete metallurgical evidence.

Cobre has secured 150,000 tonnes of low-cost ENAMI oxide material while testing two ways to recover copper from Sierra Atacama’s old leach infrastructure. The initiatives could lift SX-EW utilisation, although the historical pad opportunity remains early-stage and non-JORC.

CZR Resources has reported its strongest Top Camp gold intercept to date, including 0.70 metres at 67.2 grams per tonne, while rock chips point to high-grade iron targets near BHP’s Yarrie operations. The results strengthen the exploration case, but further drilling is needed to establish continuity, thickness and scale.
