Latest Project Funding News

Cavalier Resources has secured all primary approvals needed to advance Stage 1 mining at its Crawford Gold Project near Leonora. The regulatory milestone shifts attention to funding, site preparation and the finalisation of mining arrangements with SSH Mining.

EcoGraf has completed a A$4.727 million capital raising to support debt financing and development work at its Epanko graphite project in Tanzania. The raise combines a shareholder-backed SPP with a discounted placement to institutional and sophisticated investors.

6K Additive has completed a six-year, US$27.4 million secured loan with the US Export-Import Bank to expand production of critical metal powders in Pennsylvania. The financing gives the company access to project funding through June 2028, but the final interest rate and the expansion’s eventual output remain to be established.

Lendlease and Bizzi & Partners have extended the deadline for conditions attached to the proposed sale of Lendlease’s MSG North development rights in Milan. Closing remains uncertain, with Lendlease warning it may need to fund approximately $160 million of project obligations if the transaction fails.

Locksley Resources has halted active field exploration across its Mojave antimony and rare earths project after antimony prices fell more than 57% from mid-2025 peaks. The strategic reset came as the company reported a widened FY26 loss of A$15.65 million and shifted attention to copper-gold assets in New South Wales.

Black Rock Mining has advanced early works at its Mahenge graphite project, but the annual report warns that securing approximately US$298 million of project funding by November is critical to its survival as a going concern. The company ended FY2026 with A$4.7 million in cash and an A$7.6 million net loss.

RareX has moved Cummins Range through key permitting and heritage milestones, while stronger metallurgical results broaden the project’s critical-minerals potential. But the explorer’s annual loss widened to A$5.07 million, cash burn remained high and its going-concern assessment still depends on future funding and project development.

Vanadium Resources has repositioned its Steelpoortdrift project around a proposed V-Iron plant producing pig iron and vanadium-bearing slag for Western markets. The strategy has secured a non-binding U.S. offtake framework and advanced site and funding work, but the auditor has flagged material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

GBM Resources has paired encouraging gold results beyond the existing Twin Hills resource with a substantially stronger balance sheet after a A$40 million placement and convertible-note repayment. The exploration-stage company finished the year with A$31.7 million in cash, but its next resource upgrade still depends on assays and further drilling.

Canyon Resources has advanced construction at its Minim Martap bauxite project, but a lender’s drawdown suspension has delayed first shipment and created material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The annual report also details a recommended rejection of A2MP’s A$0.05-a-share takeover offer.

Javelin Minerals is pursuing an all-scrip takeover by FirstAU after its planned Eureka production partnership with MEGA Resources was terminated over regional processing constraints. The company reported a $2.69 million FY2026 loss, $3.92 million in cash and an auditor warning that further funding is required.

Canterbury Resources enters FY2027 with just $220,503 in cash, net current liabilities and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The explorer is targeting at least $2 million in additional funding while advancing the Monto and Briggs copper projects.
