Latest Resource Milestones News

Mt Malcolm Mines has moved closer to an integrated gold development model, combining a maiden 13,200-ounce resource with ownership of major 500,000-tonne-per-year processing plant components. The shift came with a $1.639 million loss, $1.445 million of operating cash outflows and a warning that further working capital is likely to be required within 12 months.

Miramar Resources has outlined a maiden 39,764-ounce Inferred gold resource at its Gidji joint venture, but its annual report also flags material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. A September placement has improved liquidity, though further funding and drilling remain central to the story.

Cannindah Resources has expanded drilling at its Mt Cannindah copper-gold project, identifying the Southern Shoot and extending the Southern Porphyry Target, while equity raisings lifted cash to $14.1 million. The exploration-led result came with a larger annual loss and a substantially expanded share count.

Fin Resources’ first drilling campaign at Cabin Lake delivered gold in all eight holes, including two high-grade shallow intersections at Arrow. But the ASX-listed explorer also reported a sharply wider loss, a major impairment and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue without further capital.

Leeuwin Metals ended FY2026 with a 342,300-ounce Marda resource, which increased to 378,600 ounces shortly after year end following further Evanston drilling. The gold explorer is now shifting towards permitting and mine planning, although it remains loss-making, has no Ore Reserves and expects to require further funding.

Famien Resources has used the year to pivot decisively from Australian exploration towards a 3,700km² gold portfolio in Côte d’Ivoire, backed by A$15.2 million in placements and A$13.1 million in cash. Early drilling has produced several high-grade intercepts, but the company remains loss-making and has yet to declare a mineral resource.

Black Canyon has spent the 2026 financial year moving Wandanya from discovery towards resource definition, backed by 17,200 metres of drilling and encouraging manganese beneficiation results. The exploration company ended the year with $7.77 million in cash and no debt, but remains reliant on future funding before any development decision can be made.

Narryer Metals is buying the Redhill Copper Project in southern Chile from 29Metals, gaining an existing 4.3Mt inferred resource and a much larger conceptual exploration target. The deal also brings a A$1 million strategic investment from 29Metals at a 54% premium to Narryer’s pre-announcement share price.

Platina Resources has reshaped itself around a 312 square kilometre gold portfolio in Western Australia’s Laverton district, backed by $8.61 million in cash. The FY2026 annual report shows stronger exploration momentum, but the company remains loss-making and dependent on turning targets into discoveries.

Fortuna Metals has reported a sharply expanded exploration base at its Mkanda rutile and graphite project in Malawi, alongside a narrower FY2026 loss and A$8.6 million of post-year-end funding. The resource remains early-stage and inferred, but the scale and product quality have moved the project into a more consequential development phase.

Everest Metals moved Mt Dimer into mining, established a 260,780-ounce Revere gold resource and upgraded its Mt Edon rubidium project in FY2026. Yet the company remains loss-making, has impaired its Mt Dimer development assets and warns that future funding and project cash inflows are needed to support its going-concern assessment.

Terrain Minerals has posted a 54,000-ounce inferred gold resource at Lightning, alongside stronger exploration spending and a reduced FY2026 loss. The next test is whether further drilling, metallurgy and fresh capital can turn the starter resource into something more definitive.
