Patriot Resources has established a 31.4 million-ounce silver-equivalent inferred resource at its Tassa project in Peru, but the company's annual report warns that further capital raising is required to sustain operations. The explorer recorded a $4.82 million loss and remains dependent on final drilling approvals.

Broken Hill Gold has recast itself from explorer to South Australian gold operator, producing its first doré while uncovering a deeper gold-copper sulphide system at White Dam. The transformation came with a $14.46 million FY2026 loss and continuing reliance on capital markets.

Stonehorse Energy returned to profit in FY2026 as Canadian production and oil exposure lifted revenue, while the company sold its US assets after year-end. The next test is whether Drumheller can convert production growth into sustainable cash flow while carrying new debt.

Atomos Limited (ASX:AMS) returned to profit in FY26 as revenue rose 22.5% and EBITDA swung positive, but the recovery remains financially fragile. The video technology group continues to carry negative net assets, used cash in operations and faces a possible covenant shortfall in the December half.

Somerset Minerals reported a $2.17 million statutory profit for 2026, but the result was driven mainly by a gain on divesting its Blackdome-Elizabeth subsidiaries rather than recurring operations. The company’s Coppermine copper campaign delivered strong Jura and Talisker drilling results while its auditor warned that further funding is needed to sustain exploration.

Black Rock Mining has advanced early works at its Mahenge graphite project, but the annual report warns that securing approximately US$298 million of project funding by November is critical to its survival as a going concern.

Antimony Resources has moved closer to first production in Mexico, but its FY2026 annual report carries a material going-concern warning after a A$7.0 million loss and sharply reduced cash reserves. The company now faces the harder test of turning its Tecomatlán plant and Los Lirios project into cash-generating operations.

Eden Innovations has transformed its balance sheet, cutting interest-bearing liabilities from $16.97 million to negligible levels after year-end. But revenue fell 19%, the Group remained deeply loss-making and its auditor flagged a material uncertainty over going concern.

Lakes Blue Energy reported a $19.67 million FY26 loss, ended the year with just $433,804 in cash and disclosed a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. Its key Wombat-5 well found gas-bearing zones but failed to establish commercial deliverability, leaving the company dependent on further remediation, flow testing and capital.

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.

Peak Processing delivered its first positive Group EBITDA quarter in FY2026, but the turnaround remains financially fragile.
