PhosCo has extended mineralisation at its DOH prospect and made a new phosphate discovery at Sekarna North in Tunisia. The results are encouraging, but assays remain pending and the reported widths are reconnaissance-stage intersections rather than resource estimates.

Accelerate Resources has completed three large-diameter diamond holes at its Area 42 manganese project, with visual mineralisation recorded in each hole. The standout hole covered a 72m downhole span and ended in mineralised chert breccia, but assays and metallurgical results are still pending.

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.

Tennant Minerals has reported a high-grade maiden resource and further strong drilling at its Bluebird copper-gold discovery, but the annual report carries a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. A $2.8 million capital raise completed around year-end provides near-term funding, while further exploration and processing studies remain ahead.

Nordic Resources increased its FY2026 loss as it accelerated exploration in Finland, drilling nearly 11,500 metres across its gold projects and ending the year with A$8.48 million in cash. The next test is whether drilling, metallurgy and permitting can turn a growing resource base into a mine development case.

EV Resources has produced a 68.3% antimony concentrate from preliminary bench-scale testing of material from the Vinatas operation in Mexico. The results support Tecomatlán as a potential regional processing hub, but the proposed ore supply remains non-binding and plant-scale performance is untested.

Corazon Mining has secured key gold rights over two tenements near its Chalice Gold Project, unlocking historic high-grade targets and extending its greenstone belt tenure to over 40 km. The acquisition dovetails with a recently defined Exploration Target, positioning Corazon for resource growth in a prolific WA gold district.

CuFe Ltd posted a $5.14 million net loss for FY26, driven by exploration expenses and share-based payments, while making substantial progress on its Tennant Creek Copper Project, buoyed by a $15.4 million strategic investment from Pan African Resources and a $20.75 million capital raise.
