Latest Rare Earths News

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. The 2026 annual report shows a company moving rapidly towards development, but still without an ore reserve, mine design or production decision.

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. The portfolio is now centred on Hamersley iron ore and Brazilian rare earth exploration, but heritage litigation, ungranted tenure and future funding needs remain material constraints.

Resource Base Limited (ASX:RBX) reduced its FY2026 loss, but ended the year with only $140,776 in cash and an auditor warning of material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company is relying on fresh capital to advance early-stage titanium targets in South Australia.

ACDC Metals enters FY27 with a larger Nevada exploration footprint and a 10-year licence over its Goschen Central rare earths project, but a sharply higher annual loss and ongoing funding needs remain part of the picture. The company plans up to 2,500 metres of reverse-circulation drilling at Mount Jackson in Q4 CY2026.

Oceana Metals has begun a 20,000-metre diamond drilling campaign at its Serra Negra rare earths project in Brazil, backed by high-grade historic assays and fresh capital. But the company’s $11.5 million FY2026 loss and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over going concern add a harder edge to the exploration story.

Eclipse Metals has enlarged its flagship Grønnedal rare-earth resource to 208 million tonnes and added a maiden Ivigtût critical-minerals inventory. The gains came alongside a higher annual loss, a material going-concern uncertainty and an unresolved legal claim.

New Frontier Minerals advanced its copper and rare earths portfolio during FY2026, but the annual report highlights a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company ended the year with $1.23 million in cash after a $2.25 million placement and ongoing exploration spending.

West Cobar Metals ended FY2026 with more cash but a larger loss and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue without further funding. Exploration advanced across Salazar and Cobar West, but the company remains dependent on equity markets to keep its programmes moving.

Power Minerals has extended confirmed high-grade rare earth mineralisation at its Morro do Ferro project in Brazil, with a new hole returning 39 metres at 4.42% TREO from 80 metres downhole. Assays from shallower and deeper sections remain pending, leaving the scale and geometry of the zone unresolved.

Basin Energy has more than doubled the mineralised footprint of its Newmans rare earth discovery to 6.7km, with follow-up drilling also producing the strongest magnet rare earth interval reported so far. The early-stage results set up a busy fourth quarter of leach testing and further drilling, although no resource or recovery result has yet been established.

Viridis Mining and Minerals Limited (ASX:VMM) has used its FY2026 annual report to present Colossus as a rare earths project moving from study work into execution. The company has reported strong DFS economics and fresh equity funding, but still needs key permits, binding offtake and senior debt before construction can fully proceed.

Global X Rare Earth and Critical Metals ETF delivered a sharp lift in audited profit for the year ended 30 June 2026, while net assets more than tripled as investors added capital. The result was driven mainly by realised gains on listed critical-metals equities, alongside a distribution of 112.44 cents per unit.
