Matsa Resources has flagged material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern after a $39.4 million FY2026 loss, negative net assets and a dispute that halted Devon mining.

Magnum Mining has added 119 assay results to its Piracanjuba North database, identifying four coherent high-desorption zones across roughly 7.19 square kilometres.
