Latest Lithium News

Narryer Metals has advanced its Australian critical-minerals portfolio and agreed to acquire the Redhill Copper Project, but its FY2026 accounts flag a material uncertainty over continued funding. The company ended the year with A$1.36 million in cash after a A$1.32 million loss attributable to shareholders.

Prospect Resources has taken its flagship Mumbezhi Copper Project to 208.1 million tonnes, while lifting ownership to 90% and securing A$45 million for the next phase of work. The project remains pre-production, leaving the upcoming Scoping Study and further drilling to convert geological scale into an economic case.

Lake Resources will issue 67.5 million shares to raise A$3 million for work on its Kachi lithium project in Argentina. The shares are priced at a 4.6% premium to recent trading, although the raise adds another layer of dilution while the project advances toward construction-phase engineering.

Tambourah Metals has reported high-grade exploration results at Beatty Park South and Tambourah King, alongside a stronger cash position and a reduced annual loss. The projects remain at exploration stage, with drilling and resource modelling now carrying the story forward.

Charger Metals has restarted diamond drilling and added an RC rig to a 10,000m campaign at its Lake Johnston lithium project in Western Australia. The programme targets extensions and infill at the 10.6Mt Medcalf resource while testing whether the conceptual Medcalf West target can be converted into a mineral resource.

Core Lithium has moved Finniss from care and maintenance back into active mining, with first spodumene concentrate produced after year end and a December-quarter shipment targeted. The restart leaves the company with A$181.8 million in cash, but also a substantial execution task ahead as Grants ramps up and BP33 is developed.

Galan Lithium says first lithium chloride concentrate sales from its Hombre Muerto West operation remain on track for the fourth quarter of 2026, while plant performance improves and expansion earthworks begin. The company has also reported at least 98% sulphate rejection from its nanofiltration plant across more than three months of data.

Resource Minerals International has expanded its exploration push across Tanzania and Saudi Arabia, but auditors flagged a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue without future capital raisings. The ASX-listed explorer ended FY2026 with $2.12 million in cash after raising funds through placements and convertible securities.

Xenora Minerals has reduced its annual loss and lifted cash to A$2.17 million while advancing geochemical targets at the Dudley Lithium Project. The next test is whether those anomalies can justify drilling and support the company’s next funding decision.

Lake Resources has reduced Kachi’s estimated capital cost by US$220 million and outlined a 25-year, 25,000-tonne-per-year operation. But the lithium developer still needs further funding, environmental approval, offtake and a final investment decision before construction can begin.

Katana Capital Limited (ASX:KAT) delivered a 17.98% gross investment return in FY2026, beating the All Ordinaries by 15.55 percentage points as its portfolio benefited from defence, infrastructure, resources and technology exposures. Net profit rose to $3.808 million, while the listed investment company entered FY2027 with elevated cash and a deliberately cautious stance on banks.

Patagonia Lithium has reported 15% total porosity and substantial free-fluid storage from Cilon Well 8, strengthening its interpretation of the aquifer’s pumping potential. The evidence is encouraging but remains incomplete, with four core results, further BMR Gamma data and a 72-hour pump test still outstanding.
