Iron Bear Resources has retained full ownership of its Canadian iron ore project after Vale declined to advance under their development agreement. The company is now leaning on a completed PFS, a 3.3 billion tonne probable reserve and alternative funding partners to move the project forward.

Infini Resources has launched its largest exploration campaign at Portland Creek, while maiden Saskatchewan drilling awaits assays and the company reports only 0.43 quarters of funding at current outgoings. The ASX-listed explorer ended September with A$1.897 million in cash after spending A$3.7 million on exploration during the quarter.

Reward Minerals has completed its maiden drilling program at the Jackpot gold-copper prospect, but the more immediate investor issue is funding: the company held $262,000 in cash at 30 September, equivalent to 0.43 quarters of reported outgoings. Reward says it intends to pursue a placement or entitlement issue while awaiting assay results and continuing Beyondie partnership talks.

FireFly Metals has struck a new copper-gold VMS system at Mount Joy, delivering a 22.5-metre intersection grading 2.5% copper equivalent near its Green Bay infrastructure in Newfoundland. A second hole encountered about 40 metres of semi-massive sulphides, although laboratory assays are still pending.

AuMEGA Metals has uncovered a 100.5 g/t gold float sample at its Intersection Project in Newfoundland, the second-highest-grade sample recorded across its regional portfolio. Two further samples above 23 g/t strengthen the surface signal, although the results remain early-stage and most assays are still pending.

Infini Resources has expanded and intensified its Canadian uranium exploration, but the ASX-listed explorer remains dependent on future funding despite ending FY26 with A$6.36 million in cash. Its auditor highlighted a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Mammoth Minerals expanded its Nevada exploration portfolio and drilled more than 21,000 metres at the Buster Trend, but its FY2026 report also highlights a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company posted a larger loss and remains dependent on future equity funding to sustain exploration.

Iron Bear Resources says a new federal-provincial assessment framework, major Labrador clean-energy investment and strategic-project coordination could improve the development pathway for its Canadian iron ore project. The initiatives are supportive, but they do not yet represent project approvals, secured power or construction funding.

Reward Minerals has begun the first-ever drilling at its Mountain Pond project in Newfoundland, testing whether a surface quartz vein and shear zone continues underground. New soil results have also outlined copper targets at Ante Up and Wildcard, but the project remains firmly in the discovery phase.

FireFly Metals has turned a year of aggressive drilling into a substantially larger, higher-confidence Green Bay resource, backed by an August PEA and fresh funding. The next test is execution: feasibility, permits, construction decisions and the capital required to build a mine.

Reward Minerals has secured approval for the first-ever drilling at its Jackpot gold-copper prospect in Newfoundland, with a seven-hole campaign expected to begin within days. New soil results have also extended the exploration story across a 1.2-kilometre corridor, including a 378ppb gold anomaly at High Stakes.

Infini Resources has kicked off an extensive 5,000-meter diamond drilling campaign at its Portland Creek Uranium Project in Newfoundland, aiming to unlock a large hydrothermal uranium system revealed by recent geophysical surveys.
