Antares Metals delivered its busiest exploration year yet, reporting high-grade copper, uranium and gold results across Queensland and Western Australia. But the explorer ended FY2026 with just $581,438 in cash, while its auditor flagged a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

Estrella Resources has delivered a 27,371-tonne manganese stockpile and a maiden 621-million-tonne limestone resource in Timor-Leste, but the operational progress came alongside a $23.98 million FY2026 loss and a $21.13 million impairment of Western Australian assets. The next test is whether the manganese stockpile can become cash and whether Werumata can move beyond an Inferred resource.

Clara Resources has pivoted decisively from coal to gold, but its Mareeba ambition sits alongside a $7.36 million annual loss, only $112,000 in year-end cash and a disclosed material uncertainty over going concern. The company is now relying on drilling, asset-sale proceeds and further capital to keep the strategy moving.

Sabre Resources has expanded into a 4,000-square-kilometre Northern Territory gold and copper-gold portfolio, but its FY2026 loss more than doubled as cash declined. The company now has drilling underway and fresh capital, alongside a growing funding and dilution burden.

Golden Mile Resources has reported broad, high-grade surface gold results at its Aurora prospect in Arizona, including 2.38g/t over about 126 metres. The exploration momentum comes alongside a $2.41 million annual loss, $609,757 in cash and an explicit warning that further funding is required.

Conico's statutory loss widened sharply in FY2026, largely because of non-cash share-based payments linked to its recapitalisation. The company ended the year debt free with $2.53 million in cash, but warned that funding remains critical as it prepares for Mt Thirsty drilling.

Rubix Resources ended FY2026 with a $1.283 million loss, only $95,001 in cash and a net asset deficit, prompting its auditor to flag a material uncertainty over going concern. The company’s Paperbark drilling produced an encouraging copper signal, but further exploration depends on fresh funding.

6K Additive has signed a 30-month Nickel 718 powder supply agreement with US advanced manufacturer ADDMAN, carrying a stated value of up to US$10.8 million. The deal also introduces a buy-back arrangement for used powder, linking new sales with recycled feedstock.

Yugo Metals finished 2026 with A$6.29 million in cash after raising A$8.6 million, giving its Bosnia and Herzegovina exploration program more financial room. The trade-off was a net loss of A$3.93 million, more than double the previous year, alongside substantial equity issuance and ongoing funding risk.

DevEx Resources has emerged from FY2026 with a 9,200 square kilometre uranium landholding in the Northern Territory, $27.2 million in cash and a multi-target drilling campaign underway. Early alteration at KP and shallow mineralisation at Big Radon provide technical encouragement, but the exploration case remains dependent on follow-up drilling and assays.

Chalice Mining is moving Gonneville from study to execution, with a feasibility study underway and a targeted investment decision in the first half of 2028. The project’s sizeable economics sit alongside a A$26.2 million annual loss and a funding task that remains unresolved.

Solara Minerals has reported a sharply wider FY2026 loss after impairing $3.14 million of exploration assets, while cash fell to $2.03 million. The early-stage explorer expanded its Bryah Basin portfolio but says further funding may be needed to continue exploration.
