Gullewa’s full-year profit fell sharply despite a $2.98 million royalty stream from the Deflector Project. The company is expanding its property and gold exposure while maintaining a fully franked dividend of 0.7 cents per share.

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.

Aureka’s inferred gold resources climbed to 454.8koz in FY2026 as the company moved closer to production through a proposed acquisition of the Fiddlers Creek mine and Wedderburn mill. The shift comes with a $5.75 million annual loss, $5.97 million operating cash outflow and further equity funding.

Black Canyon has established a maiden 23.6Mt manganese resource at Wandanya in Western Australia, alongside 12.5Mt of iron mineralisation. The high-confidence estimate includes potential direct-shipping material, while a scoping study is targeted for completion in December.

AI-Media has set FY27 targets for ARR of $44 million to $46 million and announced an on-market buy-back of up to 20.8 million shares. The combination gives shareholders a clearer scorecard for growth and capital allocation, but neither the guidance nor the full buy-back is guaranteed.

Nex Metals returned to profit in FY2026 after selling its remaining Arika joint venture interest, but the gain did not resolve its underlying funding pressure. The company ended the year with $422,452 in cash, net liabilities of $471,232 and a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

Albright Metals has reported a sharply wider FY2026 loss and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company’s Canadian Golden Pike project has advanced to a 54,200-ounce JORC resource, but further development depends on funding.

Australia United Mining has reported a $596,624 loss, $20,802 in cash and a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

Norwest Minerals has strengthened the technical case for its Bulgera heap-leach project with a revised 191,000-ounce resource and 86% bottle-roll recoveries. But the ASX-listed explorer ended FY2026 with $394,541 in cash, and its auditor highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

Patronus Resources enters FY2027 with approximately 2.3 million ounces of gold-equivalent Mineral Resources, $65.1 million in cash and liquid investments, and a 30,000-metre Northern Territory drilling campaign underway. The annual report also records an $8.6 million net loss and a proposed uranium rights transaction that remains conditional.

The Warehouse Group (NZX:WHS) returned to profit in FY26 and cut net debt by more than 80%, despite broadly flat comparable sales. The recovery came with a clear catch: The Warehouse brand remains loss-making and shareholders will receive no final dividend.

Latitude 66 returned to a A$1.71 million FY2026 profit as asset sales funded a larger gold resource base and major KSB milestones. But the auditor flagged material uncertainty over the explorer’s ability to continue without further funding.
