Ocean Sciences delivered a sharp increase in seaweed revenue during FY2026, but the audited report also records a A$1.612 million continuing-operations loss, A$2.319 million operating cash outflow and material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The renamed ASX-listed group is now seeking up to A$3 million while building out its Indonesian platform.

PLC Resources has repositioned around Western Australian gold and copper exploration, securing a maiden 13,000-ounce Inferred Resource at Wadgingarra and full ownership of Yalgoo. But the FY2026 annual report also carries a material uncertainty related to going concern, leaving future exploration dependent on additional funding and exploration success.

Battery Age Minerals finished FY26 with stronger cash reserves and drilling progress across Austria and Argentina, but warned that further funding or asset realisations are needed to sustain planned exploration. The company reported a $4.97 million loss, including a $2.60 million non-cash charge linked to its diluted Eminence Minerals holding.

PhosCo has expanded its Gasaat phosphate project with a 166.6Mt resource and new processing results, but its auditor has flagged material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASX-listed explorer ended FY2026 with $5.86 million in cash, a $4.48 million consolidated loss and a $2.71 million working capital deficit.

Orbminco has shifted from exploration to gold development, with Majestic North now carrying a 50,300-ounce JORC resource and a proposed low-capital route towards production.

Omnia Metals has shifted its exploration focus to US antimony, silver, rare earths and gallium projects, backed by $3.1 million in equity raisings.

St George Mining’s Araxá project now boasts a 111.2Mt rare earths resource after a major post-year-end upgrade, alongside 630,000 tonnes of contained niobium.

Eminence Minerals has cut its FY2026 loss and raised its pro forma cash position to about A$5.4 million after selling the Mata da Corda titanium project.

Blaze Minerals reported a narrower FY2026 loss, but ended the year with just $43,552 in cash and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.
