Latest Niobium Projects News

Tyranna Resources has reported a A$3.72 million FY2026 loss, A$370,484 in closing cash and an auditor-flagged material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company has since sold its Namibe project, raised A$1 million and committed to a new rare earths earn-in in Angola.

Oceana Metals has begun a 20,000-metre diamond drilling campaign at its Serra Negra rare earths project in Brazil, backed by high-grade historic assays and fresh capital. But the company’s $11.5 million FY2026 loss and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over going concern add a harder edge to the exploration story.

Vital Metals reported a A$16.63 million FY2026 loss after impairing its North T mine asset by A$12.73 million, while its auditor highlighted material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The balance sheet was strengthened by A$12.47 million in placements, but Tardiff’s encouraging drilling results must now translate into a larger resource and a credible pre-feasibility study.

Tyranna Resources has signed a binding earn-in agreement covering the 830 km² Coola Rare Earths and Niobium Project in Angola, with two carbonatite-bearing intrusions already mapped. The deal remains conditional on renewal of the project tenement, while a proposed 500 million-option grant adds a significant shareholder-approval question.

Globe Metals & Mining has completed compensation payments to all 203 households affected by Phase 1 of its Kanyika niobium project in Malawi, clearing a major land-access milestone. The company now targets initial pit opening, mining and stockpiling in the coming weeks, while relocation and cultural heritage work remain unfinished.

WA1 Resources has ended FY26 with a larger, higher-confidence Luni niobium resource, encouraging processing results and A$123.8 million in cash. The project now moves towards a targeted Q4 CY2026 Pre-Feasibility Study, with permitting, funding and commercial viability still ahead.

Globe Metals & Mining says 243 members of the Kanyika community have withdrawn long-running legal proceedings in Malawi, removing a historical contingent liability tied to the project. The development improves certainty around Kanyika, but land access still depends on a separate compensation and resettlement process.

Encounter Resources has appointed Simon Hay as Non-Executive Chairman and promoted Will Robinson to Managing Director/CEO, aligning leadership with its expanding niobium and copper-gold projects. The company’s Aileron niobium resource surged 54% in 2026, underpinning development ambitions.

Encounter Resources has launched a strategic review of its copper assets across Western Australia and the Northern Territory, aiming to accelerate project development amid promising drilling results at its Yeneena Copper Project and other key sites.
