Latest Prefeasibility Study News

Image Resources delivered Atlas production above the midpoint of annual guidance, but port delays and an A$8.9 million quarterly operating cash outflow left the company with A$9.0 million and less than one quarter of funding. A proposed LB Group transaction may provide further support, although it remains subject to binding documents and approvals.

Metals Australia has advanced feasibility, permitting and funding work at its Lac Carheil graphite project while establishing a 45.7Mt Manindi VTM resource. The progress sits alongside a modest A$2.575 million cash balance and no disclosed financing facilities.

Pilbara Gold’s latest drilling has extended broad gold mineralisation as much as 200 metres below parts of its 2.1Moz Mt York resource, strengthening the case for an updated estimate ahead of a prefeasibility study. Roe Hills has also produced wide, high-grade hits, but both growth stories still depend on further drilling, assays and resource modelling.

Southern Palladium’s Bengwenyama project has emerged from its latest study with a sharply higher forecast value, a 30-year mining right and a much larger chrome contribution. The development case is stronger, but the project still requires permits, external funding and further technical confirmation.

Stellar Resources has lifted its Heemskirk tin inventory to 115.3kt of contained tin, while post-quarter drilling has identified mineralisation outside the Severn resource that could connect with the high-grade Montana deposit. The company is now folding those possibilities into a prefeasibility study targeted for the first half of 2027.

Critical Minerals Group is seeking up to $2.05 million to begin definitive feasibility work at its Lindfield Vanadium Project, backed by existing shareholders and a new non-executive director. The raise could increase shares on issue by 27% if fully subscribed, with key related-party commitments still requiring approval.

Southern Palladium’s updated study has lifted the Bengwenyama project’s post-tax NPV to US$1.96 billion, driven by sharply improved chrome recovery and a stronger commodity price deck. The project still needs a definitive feasibility study, permits, funding and commercial offtake arrangements before those figures can be tested in development.

Stellar Resources has intersected high-grade tin 150 metres north of its Severn resource, strengthening the geological case for a connection with the Montana deposit. Follow-up drilling is underway, but any resource or production uplift remains unconfirmed.

Alma Metals is pushing the Briggs Copper Project through a substantial drilling and metallurgical program, with a 2027 resource update planned to support a prefeasibility study. The project’s 932Mt resource contains about 2Mt of copper, but the company still faces the usual funding, technical and development hurdles of a large undeveloped mine.

Pilbara Gold has lifted the Mt York resource by 50% to 2.08 million ounces while advancing a prefeasibility study and restarting drilling at Roe Hills. The annual report also warns that planned exploration spending could require another capital raise within 12 months.

Audalia Resources has outlined a 24.2 million tonne Medcalf resource, a maiden 11.77 million tonne probable ore reserve and study economics of up to $227 million in NPV. But the ASX-listed developer also reported a $1.31 million loss, only $720,861 in cash and an auditor warning over its ability to continue as a going concern.

Stellar Resources has lifted its Heemskirk tin resource to 115.3kt of contained tin while technical studies move toward a prefeasibility study outcome. The company is better funded, but remains pre-revenue and faces the usual capital, permitting and execution hurdles of mine development.
