Renegade Exploration has sharpened its portfolio around Nevada and Yukon exploration, with several targets moving towards drilling after high-grade surface results. But the ASX-listed junior ended FY2026 with just $59,869 in cash and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

Albion Resources has moved into its maiden Gidgee drilling campaign, but the gold explorer’s $2.38 million cash balance and $2.52 million annual operating outflow underpin an auditor warning over its ability to continue without further funding. The company reported a $2.01 million FY2026 loss as it shifted exploration focus towards Gidgee and Yandal West.

MetalsGrove Mining has expanded its Côte d’Ivoire gold footprint and begun a 10,000-metre auger campaign, but its FY2026 annual report carries a material going-concern uncertainty. The company ended the year with $1.97 million in cash after raising $2.70 million, while exploration commitments due within 12 months total $1.09 million.

Nimy Resources has paired a maiden gallium resource and encouraging metallurgical recoveries with a sharp warning about funding pressure and an unresolved Lind legal dispute. The explorer ended FY2026 with $3.92 million in cash, but a $4.76 million Lind liability and an auditor-flagged going-concern uncertainty remain central risks.

Moho Resources has expanded its Bush Chook exploration story with new shallow gold systems, but its auditor has warned that ongoing cash outflows and reliance on future funding create material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company held $1.27 million in cash at 30 June 2026 after raising $2 million and selling Silver Swan North.

Lightning Minerals has started a 262-sample Phase 3 soil program at its Warby Tungsten Project in North Queensland, with the first 162 samples already at the laboratory. Results expected in October will help determine whether open tungsten anomalies are ready to support maiden drilling.

Xenora Minerals has reduced its annual loss and lifted cash to A$2.17 million while advancing geochemical targets at the Dudley Lithium Project. The next test is whether those anomalies can justify drilling and support the company’s next funding decision.

Reward Minerals has begun the first-ever drilling at its Mountain Pond project in Newfoundland, testing whether a surface quartz vein and shear zone continues underground. New soil results have also outlined copper targets at Ante Up and Wildcard, but the project remains firmly in the discovery phase.

Leeuwin Metals has confirmed gold across all 10 samples from historic tailings at its Marda Central project, averaging 0.596 g/t Au in the top metre. The result points to a potentially accessible processing opportunity, but the material remains well short of a defined resource or economic study.

Riedel Resources has begun a 1,100-sample soil geochemistry program across its 580km² Cosmo Gold Project in Western Australia, targeting unexplored ground and existing gold anomalies. The work is designed to sharpen drill targets before the company’s maiden Cosmo drilling campaign, scheduled for October.

Yandal Resources posted its busiest exploration year yet, expanding the Arrakis discovery and ending FY2026 with 450,200 ounces of reported resources and $9.7 million in cash. But a larger loss, material going-concern uncertainty and a CEO transition leave the company needing to convert drilling momentum into resources and renewed funding support.

West Coast Silver has secured a prospecting licence immediately west of its Elizabeth Hill mining lease, opening a new near-mine exploration target with historical silver, copper, nickel and palladium anomalism. The company plans to validate the old data before deciding whether to drill.
