Latest Mineral Exploration News

G11 Resources has expanded its exploration footprint and reported a conceptual copper Exploration Target at Wilandra, while drilling near Tasmania’s Mt Lyell system continues. The company ended the year with $4.91 million in cash but remains loss-making and reliant on future funding to sustain exploration.

Delta Lithium reported a $13.2 million FY2026 profit after separating its gold assets into Ballard Mining, while advancing lithium projects at Mt Ida and Yinnetharra. The result was supported heavily by demerger-related accounting gains, leaving the next test firmly operational: whether the projects can move towards production.

DeSoto Resources has assembled about 1,300 square kilometres of gold tenure in Guinea’s Siguiri Basin, but the expansion came with a A$15.0 million FY2026 loss and a A$6.35 million write-off of Northern Territory exploration assets. The company enters FY2027 with drilling, geophysics and tenure renewals still to convert its large portfolio into a defined resource.

Solstice Minerals has emerged from FY2026 with a larger exploration story, a A$45.3 million liquidity base and drilling that extends Nanadie beyond its existing resource footprint. The company remains loss-making and pre-production, leaving future value tied to resource growth and exploration execution.

Iron Road’s largest shareholder has distributed its remaining 59.72% stake just as the company prepares to restart delayed nickel-copper-gold drilling at Irria. The transition also includes the November retirement of long-serving chief executive Larry Ingle, with no successor named.

Infinity Metals has reported a sharply smaller FY2026 loss as it shifts its exploration focus towards the United States and Australia. The pivot follows rejection of its San José mining licence application, a A$2.25 million placement and a growing portfolio of early-stage copper, molybdenum and tin targets.

Agrimin has completed its withdrawal from the Mackay Potash Project and repositioned itself around exploration at the 480-square-kilometre Mount Squires Project. The pivot reduced the company’s annual loss, but left it with $1.08 million in cash, net current liabilities and no JORC mineral resources or ore reserves.

Flynn Gold has returned to trading with a one-for-three renounceable rights issue priced at A$0.015, seeking up to approximately A$3 million for Tasmanian exploration. Only A$1.5 million is underwritten, leaving the final proceeds dependent on shareholder participation and shortfall demand.

Parbo Resources has completed a $5 million IPO raise ahead of a proposed ASX listing, giving the pre-revenue explorer fresh funding for its Western Australian projects. Its FY2026 accounts show a $187,285 loss, $2.29 million in cash at year-end and $1.31 million in capitalised exploration assets.

SQX Resources has raised $2.468 million before costs through a fully underwritten entitlement offer, with most new shares to be issued to the underwriter and sub-underwriters. The capital will fund exploration across its US and Queensland projects, but the deal will also expand the share count by almost 37.5%.

Argent Minerals has reported its first laboratory assays from Trunkey Creek, with narrow but high-grade gold intersections beyond a void interpreted as historic underground workings. The results strengthen the case for deeper drilling, while leaving the size and continuity of the mineralisation unresolved.

Enterprise Metals has secured $1.2 million in discounted equity funding alongside a proposed board overhaul led by mining executives Phillip Gallagher and Steven Zaninovich. The incoming team will review the company’s Western Australian portfolio and decide where its limited exploration capital should go next.
