Flynn Gold has returned to trading with a one-for-three renounceable rights issue priced at A$0.015, seeking up to approximately A$3 million for Tasmanian exploration. Only A$1.5 million is underwritten, leaving the final proceeds dependent on shareholder participation and shortfall demand.

Lightning Minerals says reconnaissance sampling has expanded the Warby Project’s interpreted tungsten system well beyond its World War I-era workings, with rock chips grading up to 5.5% tungsten. The company has fast-tracked further soil sampling to define the anomalies before selecting maiden drill targets.

American Tungsten & Antimony has produced antimony ingot from Arizona-mined material at its Nevada refinery, providing the first physical demonstration of its proposed US mine-to-metal chain. The milestone creates samples for testing and customer qualification, but the underlying asset acquisition remains incomplete and product quality is yet to be disclosed.

Right Resources has begun a fully funded 2,000-metre aircore program at its Blue Prospect near Tumbarumba, testing six tungsten and five gold anomalies for the first time below surface. Assay results are expected progressively during the December Quarter, but the campaign is exploratory and is not designed to define a Mineral Resource.

Daly Resources says a 10.7-kilometre soil traverse has revealed fluorine anomalies beyond known Huckitta fluorite outcrops, including beneath transported cover. A new western vein and high-grade rock-chip results have widened the exploration target, but drilling is still required to test continuity and scale.

Sky Metals has used FY2026 to move Tallebung from exploration toward development, combining more than 500 drill holes with strong ore-sorting results and progress into NSW’s environmental approval process. The advance came alongside a A$5.37 million loss and continuing reliance on equity funding.

Viking Mines has identified several wide zones of visually confirmed scheelite in ongoing RC drilling at its Linka tungsten project in Nevada, including 22 metres across a 24-metre horizon. The encouraging visual results remain unassayed, leaving laboratory results as the next critical test of grade and continuity.

Mt Malcolm Mines has identified four copper-gold exploration targets across its Malcolm Project, led by selective Braiser rock chips grading up to 1.37% copper. The broader target inventory is promising but remains early-stage, with no new drilling completed and most geochemical signals still awaiting laboratory verification.

Investigator Silver has used FY26 to move the Paris Silver Project from feasibility study toward development, backed by A$58.8 million in cash and a maiden ore reserve. The company still faces the harder tests of permitting, financing and construction before its projected silver production can become reality.

Dart Mining has confirmed high-grade tin in four selective rock-chip samples from its Walwa project in Northeast Victoria, including 3.96% tin with elevated tantalum and niobium. The results strengthen the case for maiden diamond drilling planned for October, but do not establish representative grades or a mineral resource.

Tungsten Mining has produced saleable tungsten concentrate grading up to 65.9% WO3 from its Watershed project in Queensland, confirming the conventional processing route planned for its DFS. Marketing samples have now been sent to potential offtakers, although no binding agreements have been signed.

American Tungsten & Antimony has started an ahead-of-schedule campaign to produce antimony flake at its Del Sol refinery in Nevada, using material from Arizona. The first physical demonstration of its proposed US mine-to-metal chain could generate samples for customer qualification and government discussions, although the underlying asset acquisition remains incomplete.
