Pure Resources finished 2026 with $3.67 million in cash and no debt after raising $4.7 million, but its annual loss widened as it shifted from explorer to a Garnet Hills-led advanced materials platform. The company is now pursuing garnet abrasives, jumbo flake graphite and heavy rare earth recovery through US research and defence partnerships.

Redstone Resources has expanded its exploration portfolio and reported deep copper intersections at West Musgrave, but its auditor has flagged material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue without further funding. The ASX junior ended FY2026 with A$557,426 in cash against A$636,787 of annual Australian tenement commitments.

Caprice Resources has put its Murchison gold portfolio at the centre of a larger exploration campaign after extending Vadrians mineralisation and raising A$12.8 million. The company remains pre-production and loss-making, with a maiden resource estimate still to come.

Rokeby Resources has shifted its centre of gravity to the Omeo Gold Project, but the strategic reset comes after a near-doubling annual loss and with substantial future funding obligations. The company ended FY2026 with A$3.39 million in cash and drilling underway at Sunnyside.

Altair Minerals finished 2026 with A$33.7 million in cash after major equity raisings, giving it room to pursue a large Greater Oko drilling campaign in Guyana. The balance-sheet improvement came alongside a wider A$4.81 million loss, substantial dilution and an unresolved dispute with BHP over Olympic Domain.

Blackstone Minerals has reported a larger FY2026 loss and warned of material uncertainty around its ability to continue as a going concern, despite ending the year with $13.7 million in cash. The company is directing its remaining financial capacity towards the Mankayan copper-gold project while seeking to reduce exposure to its Vietnam nickel assets.

Noronex Limited (ASX:NRX) swung to a A$1.145 million statutory profit in FY2026, but the result was driven mainly by tenement disposal gains while operating cash outflows increased sharply. The auditor also highlighted material uncertainty over the explorer’s ability to continue without further funding.

West Coast Silver has crossed from explorer to resource-stage company after defining 2.795 million ounces of contained silver at Elizabeth Hill. The project has generated strong drilling results and fresh funding, but the company remains loss-making and yet to establish an economic development case.

Aguia Resources has begun commercial Pampafós phosphate production in Brazil and improved Santa Barbara gold recoveries, but its annual report carries a material going-concern warning. A Brazilian court has also declared the Três Estradas environmental licensing process null, leaving the company’s flagship new operation exposed to an unresolved legal fight.

SQX Resources Limited (ASX:SQX) has emerged from a transformational year with two advanced US gold projects, broad shallow mineralisation at Red Bird and exceptional underground assays at Williams.
