Felix Gold advanced bulk extraction, processing and refinery plans at its Alaska antimony project in FY26, but the push came with a larger loss, falling cash and an auditor-documented material uncertainty over going concern. A potential US$18 million Department of Energy award remains subject to negotiation rather than a committed funding source.

PDI Gold’s first full annual report after its Robex merger shows a transformed West African gold business with US$193.7 million in cash and two producing mines. The statutory result remains a US$63.7 million loss, while Bankan’s next phase still depends on an exploitation permit from Guinea.

Delta Lithium has outlined Q4 reconnaissance drilling across six Yinnetharra targets, including two gold anomalies supported by high-grade rock-chip and historic drill results. At Mt Ida, new lithium, tantalum and rubidium intersections are feeding a resource update while a 1-tonne metallurgical program moves ahead.

Great Western Exploration has identified zinc-silver-lead mineralisation at its Seymour target in Western Australia, which it interprets as the outer edge of a potentially fertile volcanic-hosted massive sulphide system. The company says a nearby copper-gold core remains untested and is accelerating permitting, geophysics and follow-up drilling.

Tarrina Resources has identified five kilometre-scale IOCG target zones at Walparuta after soil sampling returned copper values up to 2,891 ppm and gold up to 466 ppb. The planned 23-hole drill campaign remains subject to native title, heritage, land access and government approvals.

Parkway Corporate Limited (ASX:PWN) delivered a sharp revenue increase in FY26 and generated positive operating cash flow, but slipped into a statutory loss and flagged significant uncertainty around its ability to continue as a going concern. Key approvals for its Queensland brine project and a new $2 million mining contract offer commercial progress, while funding remains the central test.

American Tungsten & Antimony has paired a sharply higher FY2026 loss with its most consequential strategic step yet: a proposed US mine-to-metal chain anchored by the Del Sol refinery. The acquisition remains unfinished, but the company has produced antimony ingot from Arizona mine material and ended the year with $19.5 million in cash.

PolarX Limited (ASX:PXX) has reported a year of high-grade exploration results across Alaska and Nevada, led by a 24.8-metre copper intercept grading 9.8% at Caribou Dome. The company ended FY2026 with A$10.0 million in cash, but remains loss-making and dependent on future funding and exploration success.

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. The company’s Forsayth project generated a modest production return, but operations remain dependent on further funding and related-party creditor support.

Locate Technologies lifted FY26 revenue and grew its Locate2u software business, but a A$4 million debt facility due in November has left auditors flagging material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company ended the year with negative net assets after its loss more than widened.

Minerals Exploration has pivoted decisively into New Zealand gold and tungsten, but its annual report carries a material going-concern warning after a $2.66 million loss and $949,097 operating cash outflow. Exploration has produced encouraging surface samples and broad gold zones, though no mineral resource has been established.

North Stawell Minerals has expanded and refined its Darlington-Caledonia exploration targets, including a post-year-end intercept of 0.4 metres at 17.1 g/t gold. But the gold explorer ended FY2026 with $701,960 in cash, a deeper loss and an auditor warning that further funding is needed to sustain operations.
