Heavy Rare Earths has identified high-grade heavy rare earth zones at Subron while preparing drilling across its South Australian portfolio. But the FY2026 report also highlights a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, with only $459,327 in cash at year-end.

MRG Metals has reported exceptional rare earth grades at its newly acquired Garies project and advanced its Mozambique portfolio, but the explorer remains dependent on capital markets. The FY26 annual report flags material uncertainty over going concern despite a subsequent A$725,000 placement and a further share purchase plan.

Osmond Resources has outlined a 60.0 million tonne maiden JORC resource at its Orión critical minerals project in Spain, but most of the inventory remains Inferred and unproven economically. The company will resume drilling in October, with an updated estimate targeted for the first quarter of 2027.

Cadoux says resampling of 21 historical Danube drill holes has extended rare earth-zircon mineralisation up to 1.4 kilometres north of its June Exploration Target and opened a southern target area. The results move the project towards planned infill drilling, a maiden Mineral Resource and a Scoping Study, but key mineralogy and access hurdles remain.

Ark Mines has reported a FY2026 profit after receiving Queensland-backed funding, while its Sandy Mitchell rare earths resource expanded to 379.4 million tonnes after year end. The project now has development approvals and commercial-grade testwork behind it, but no Ore Reserve or mining decision yet.

Enova Mining has launched a 1-for-4 entitlement offer at A$0.001 a share to raise up to A$495,152 for exploration and working capital. The modest raising sits alongside a proposed A$2 million placement and potential Caraubas acquisition issues that could materially expand the share count.

Sovereign Metals has expanded Kasiya into a potential rutile, graphite and heavy rare earths project, with a rare earths study adding an estimated US$722 million of pre-tax NPV8. The opportunity comes with a sharper execution challenge: Rio Tinto will not become operator, while Sovereign still needs a mining licence, binding offtakes and substantial funding.

Lindian Resources has crossed a significant operational threshold, moving Kangankunde in Malawi from construction into active mining while targeting first production in Q4 2026. The transition was funded by A$191.5 million in placements, but the company still faces the harder test of commissioning, downstream integration and cash discipline.

Lion Rock Minerals has reported high-grade rutile and rare-earth results from its 80%-owned Minta project in Cameroon, including up to 4.54% TREO over 2.3 metres. But the exploration story arrives alongside a larger loss, $7.93 million in operating cash outflow and an auditor-flagged material uncertainty over future funding.

Lindian Resources says its Kangankunde rare earths project in Malawi has stockpiled about 125,000 tonnes of ore ahead of schedule as construction shifts toward commissioning and first monazite concentrate targeted by year-end. The company also lifted the annual base salaries of its two senior executives to A$1 million each.

Enova Mining has increased its unbrokered placement to $2 million after securing an additional $500,000 in binding commitments. The expanded raising will fund exploration and project work, but most of the 2 billion new shares still requires shareholder approval.

McLaren Minerals has moved its flagship McLaren Titanium Project into bankable feasibility, backed by a 529 million tonne resource and a 663-hole drilling campaign. But the pre-revenue explorer remains reliant on further funding, with the Barossa acquisition still conditional and 118.4 million options issued after year-end.
