Latest Mineral Exploration News

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.

Pantera Minerals has received an unqualified audit opinion for its 2026 financial report, with the disposal of its Daytona Lithium and Folsom Point subsidiaries emerging as the year’s defining accounting event. The report also places a $507,994 exploration asset under audit scrutiny as the company advances its remaining portfolio.

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.

Zeus Resources has reported high-grade surface antimony results in Morocco while moving to acquire a copper-gold project in Mauritania. The exploration story is advancing, but the audited accounts flag a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

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.

Litchfield Minerals has expanded its Harts Range exploration model, raised A$8 million and ended FY2026 with A$4.6 million in cash. The opportunity is growing, but the auditor flagged material uncertainty over the company’s ability to fund future operations.

Cannindah Resources has expanded drilling at its Mt Cannindah copper-gold project, identifying the Southern Shoot and extending the Southern Porphyry Target, while equity raisings lifted cash to $14.1 million. The exploration-led result came with a larger annual loss and a substantially expanded share count.

Australasian Metals has paired a sharply smaller annual loss with a $1.05 million placement aimed at exploring two proposed Côte d’Ivoire lithium projects. The projects remain an option, not an acquisition, while May Queen drilling is being prepared in Queensland.

Australian Silica Quartz Group is shifting its centre of gravity from exploration to development after adding the 47.3Mt White Swan Kaolin Project. The project has an approved 250,000-tonne-per-year mining concept, but commercial offtake and feasibility work remain ahead.

Stavely Minerals has outlined a potentially valuable 13-year copper-gold-silver project, but its latest annual report makes clear that funding remains the immediate constraint. The company ended June with A$3.1 million in cash and an auditor-flagged material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

Leeuwin Metals ended FY2026 with a 342,300-ounce Marda resource, which increased to 378,600 ounces shortly after year end following further Evanston drilling. The gold explorer is now shifting towards permitting and mine planning, although it remains loss-making, has no Ore Reserves and expects to require further funding.

Legacy Minerals enters FY2027 with a larger Mt Carrington resource, a positive preliminary development study and fresh drilling underway, but the proposed mine still requires substantial funding. The ASX-listed explorer reported a A$1.85 million FY2026 loss and held A$6.07 million in cash at year-end.
