Latest Ore Reserves News

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.

American Rare Earths has expanded the proposed Cowboy State Mine in Wyoming to a 4.5 million tonne per year operation with a 26-year mine plan and an estimated after-tax NPV of US$1.07 billion. The stronger study case comes with higher capital, lower recoveries and no Ore Reserves, leaving metallurgy, permitting and funding as the next tests.

Silver Mines has built a substantially larger economic case for Bowdens, but the project still needs NSW approval before its 93.5 million ounce reserve can become a mine. The company is now funding the next phase with a A$70 million placement while absorbing dilution and a major royalty buy-back.

Felix Gold advanced bulk extraction, processing and refinery plans at its Alaska antimony project in FY26, but the push came with a larger loss, falling cash and an auditor-documented material uncertainty over going concern. A potential US$18 million Department of Energy award remains subject to negotiation rather than a committed funding source.

Accelerate Resources enters FY2027 with high-grade manganese targets at Woodie Woodie North and new gold zones at Balagundi, but a sharp annual loss and ongoing funding needs remain part of the story. The company plans maiden and follow-up drilling while seeking shareholder approval to rename itself Mango Metals.

PDI Gold’s first full annual report after its Robex merger shows a transformed West African gold business with US$193.7 million in cash and two producing mines. The statutory result remains a US$63.7 million loss, while Bankan’s next phase still depends on an exploitation permit from Guinea.

Jupiter Mines delivered above-target production and sales at its Tshipi manganese mine in FY26, but higher costs and a stronger South African rand pulled group profit lower. The year also brought a new majority co-investor, a leadership transition and fresh questions around the mine’s resource and reserve base.

Black Cat Syndicate’s gold inventory has fallen to 2.31Moz of Resources and 272koz of Reserves after mining depletion and model revisions. The producer is responding with up to $35 million of FY27 exploration spending while targeting 80-90koz of output.

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.

New Murchison Gold has reported high-grade drilling across three Lydia deposits near its Crown Prince operation, led by a 1m interval at 47.20g/t gold. The results define shallow mineralised zones, but remain outside the current Lydia resource and still require further drilling and modelling.

American Tungsten & Antimony has paired a sharply higher FY2026 loss with its most consequential strategic step yet: a proposed US mine-to-metal chain anchored by the Del Sol refinery. The acquisition remains unfinished, but the company has produced antimony ingot from Arizona mine material and ended the year with $19.5 million in cash.

Liontown has approved a $389 million expansion of Kathleen Valley, targeting average spodumene concentrate production of about 780,000 dry metric tonnes a year from FY30. The project is expected to lower unit costs, but its economics rely on lithium price assumptions, execution and a production inventory containing 21.5% inferred resources.
