International Graphite has moved its graphite processing strategy from plans towards construction and joint ventures, but the FY2026 annual report shows the company remains loss-making and reliant on external funding. Collie is scheduled for building completion in Q2 2027, while the proposed European hub still requires financing and development work.

Barkly Rare Earths has entered its first full year as an ASX-listed explorer with A$5.38 million in cash, a 10,000-metre drilling programme underway and an early 99% magnet rare earth oxide extraction result. The technical signals are encouraging, but both the drilling data and metallurgy remain at an early stage.

Thrive Tribe Technologies has repositioned WooBoard and REFFIND towards defence and workforce software, but its FY26 annual report flags a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The pivot follows a $3.66 million loss, $2.57 million operating cash outflow and another $1 million placement after year-end.

ION Video has reported a $4.52 million FY2026 loss and a $3.21 million operating cash drain, even as a post-year-end $4.25 million placement lifted its balance sheet. Auditors have preserved their opinion but flagged material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Aurora Energy Metals (ASX:1AE) swung to a $21.8 million profit after selling its Oregon uranium project, but the result was driven largely by a non-cash accounting gain. The company’s concentrated Eagle Nuclear Energy stake was valued at about $15.5 million by the annual report date, down from $23.9 million at 30 June.

Vanadium Resources has repositioned its Steelpoortdrift project around a proposed V-Iron plant producing pig iron and vanadium-bearing slag for Western markets.

QMines has moved its Mt Chalmers copper-gold project into a Definitive Feasibility Study after securing a $15 million strategic package from QIC. The development push comes alongside a larger annual loss, $9.21 million in operating cash outflow and continued reliance on future funding.

Ragnar Metals has identified at least five interpreted mineralised shoots at its Harnäs gold project in Sweden, but the exploration-led company ended FY2026 with only $233,220 in cash. The annual report also restates FY2025 after previously omitted Kaiser Reef options were recognised at $779,288.

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.

Caprice Resources has put its Murchison gold portfolio at the centre of a larger exploration campaign after extending Vadrians mineralisation and raising A$12.8 million. The company remains pre-production and loss-making, with a maiden resource estimate still to come.

Rokeby Resources has shifted its centre of gravity to the Omeo Gold Project, but the strategic reset comes after a near-doubling annual loss and with substantial future funding obligations. The company ended FY2026 with A$3.39 million in cash and drilling underway at Sunnyside.

Altair Minerals finished 2026 with A$33.7 million in cash after major equity raisings, giving it room to pursue a large Greater Oko drilling campaign in Guyana.
