Nufarm is pairing a narrower crop-protection portfolio with heavier investment in seeds and tighter capital controls as it targets A$370 million to A$380 million in FY26 underlying EBITDA. The company has reaffirmed positive free cash flow, leverage of about 2.0 times and a A$50 million cost-saving program due to reach run-rate by the end of FY27.

Perpetual Resources has warned of material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern after its FY2026 loss more than tripled. The ASX-listed explorer finished the year with A$2.34 million in cash, but remains dependent on further capital raisings to fund Nevada Scheelite and Brazilian exploration.

St Barbara is positioning itself as a debt-free Nova Scotia gold developer after a proposed A$453 million Simberi exit, with a potential special dividend and share buy-back still on the table. Its updated 15-Mile study points to a larger reserve, longer mine life and stronger project economics, but those figures remain study-based and conditional on execution.

Barramundi Limited (NZX:BRM) has reported the worst performance in its 20-year history, with a NZ$42.9 million net loss and a 17.0% fall in gross portfolio performance. The board is reviewing Fisher Funds’ management performance just weeks before its five-year agreement comes up for renewal.

Australian Vanadium reported progress across its mine, electrolyte and battery businesses, but auditors highlighted material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The group held $17.9 million in cash at 30 June, yet expects to need additional funding within 12 months.

Magmatic Resources has used FY2026 to turn the newly acquired Weebo Gold Project into its main exploration engine, while Fortescue-funded drilling continued to test copper-gold targets at Myall. The company ended the year with $5.54 million in cash, but a larger annual loss and continued exploration spending keep execution and funding firmly in focus.

US1 Critical Minerals has warned of a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern, with only $302,641 in cash at year-end. Its forecast depends heavily on completing a conditional sale of Tanzanian uranium licences for an initial US$1 million.

Global X Defence Tech ETF reported a $13.84 million loss for the year ended 30 June 2026, reversing a $7.50 million profit a year earlier. The result was driven by $14.48 million in net losses on investments and foreign exchange, even as investor applications lifted net assets to $112.56 million.

Global X Australian Bank Credit ETF more than doubled its net assets to $184 million in the year to 30 June 2026, while profit rose to $6.9 million. The audited report also shows a larger exposure to BBB-rated debt and a sharp increase in distributions payable.

Strata Minerals has shifted from broad exploration to a Zelica-centred Western Australian gold strategy, pairing strong drilling results with a proposed capital-light mining pathway funded by BML Ventures. The opportunity is growing, but the company remains loss-making and warns that further funding may be required to continue as a going concern.

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.

Ozz Resources has emerged from suspension after raising $4.8 million, acquiring the Bedaburra nickel-copper-cobalt project and reshaping its exploration portfolio. The annual report also highlights a still-loss-making balance sheet and unresolved funding demands ahead.
