Latest Resource Reporting News

Pure Resources finished 2026 with $3.67 million in cash and no debt after raising $4.7 million, but its annual loss widened as it shifted from explorer to a Garnet Hills-led advanced materials platform. The company is now pursuing garnet abrasives, jumbo flake graphite and heavy rare earth recovery through US research and defence partnerships.

Maverick Minerals finished FY2026 with $5.3 million in cash after raising $6 million, but warned that further funding will be needed to sustain its expanded exploration program. The auditor highlighted a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Hawthorn Resources reported a wider Australian-dollar loss for FY2026, with revenue falling sharply and cash declining by $1.53 million. The company is directing its remaining balance sheet toward exploration at the Trouser Legs gold joint venture and Mount Bevan’s other minerals project.

Rubix Resources ended FY2026 with a $1.283 million loss, only $95,001 in cash and a net asset deficit, prompting its auditor to flag a material uncertainty over going concern. The company’s Paperbark drilling produced an encouraging copper signal, but further exploration depends on fresh funding.

Charger Metals has reduced its FY2026 loss and secured $3.75 million from the sale of Bynoe, giving the lithium explorer more room to advance its Lake Johnston assets. The company’s Medcalf resource now stands at 10.6Mt, although further drilling and funding will be needed to test its economic potential.

Western Ridge Resources reported a $12.22 million loss for the year ended 30 June 2026, with cash falling to $407,860 and its auditor warning of a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The company is now relying on Keystone drilling and further funding to advance its Nevada exploration strategy.

PDI Gold has reported its first consolidated Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve statement since merging with Robex, lifting total resources to 10.1Moz and reserves to 4.8Moz. The headline growth came from the merger and a larger Kiniéro reserve, although Bankan’s development remains dependent on Guinea granting its exploitation permit.

Barys Resources reported a wider A$2.30 million loss for FY2026 as it secured two gold exploration licences in Kazakhstan but made no progress at its Niger uranium project. With A$2.06 million in cash at year-end, the company is now pursuing a partially underwritten A$2.6 million entitlement offer to fund its next phase of exploration.

Far Northern Resources expanded its Northern Territory gold inventory to 117,000 ounces during FY26, while Bridge Creek moved closer to mining studies. The progress came alongside a wider annual loss, falling cash reserves and an auditor-emphasised going-concern consideration.

Sunshine Metals reduced its annual loss and ended June with $20.6 million in cash, but its auditor flagged a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The warning comes as Sunshine funds the Mt Moss processing conversion, faces a $10 million deferred payment and targets first gold in mid-2027.

Forrestania Resources has increased the British Hill JORC Mineral Resource Estimate by 21% to 212,400 ounces of gold, with higher-confidence Indicated ounces rising 37%. Drilling is continuing, but the project remains at the resource and study stage rather than production.

Waratah Minerals has reported its strongest drilling result to date at the Spur Gold Discovery, with a deep hole returning 46 metres at 7.27 g/t gold. The result extends the Consols Zone and supports four high-grade footwall domains, although the project remains at an early exploration stage.
