Latest West Arunta News

APC Minerals has replaced its FY2026 annual report after finding a version-control error in the independent auditor’s report. The corrected filing leaves a more consequential warning intact: the explorer needs near-term equity funding to remain a going concern.

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.

Maverick Minerals finished FY2026 with $5.3 million in cash after raising $6 million, but warned that further funding will be needed to sustain its expanded exploration program. The auditor highlighted a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Rincon Resources posted a $6.96 million FY2026 loss after writing down $5.53 million of exploration assets, while its cash balance rose following a $3.1 million placement. The explorer has narrowed its focus to Telfer South and Crackerbox, but remains dependent on future drilling and funding.

Solara Minerals has reported a sharply wider FY2026 loss after impairing $3.14 million of exploration assets, while cash fell to $2.03 million. The early-stage explorer expanded its Bryah Basin portfolio but says further funding may be needed to continue exploration.

Tali Resources ended its first full year as an ASX-listed explorer with A$5.19 million in cash, a larger West Arunta exploration program and a A$1.48 million loss. The annual report also records a A$516,170 impairment after early drilling returned only moderately anomalous results, keeping the company firmly in the high-risk pre-discovery phase.

Tali Resources has initiated diamond drilling at its Khya prospect, aiming to test significant copper-gold and critical minerals anomalies within the Lake Mackay Fault Zone, backed by a $270,000 government co-funding grant.

CuFe Ltd posted a $5.14 million net loss for FY26, driven by exploration expenses and share-based payments, while making substantial progress on its Tennant Creek Copper Project, buoyed by a $15.4 million strategic investment from Pan African Resources and a $20.75 million capital raise.

Encounter Resources has reported further high-grade niobium intersections at its Emily and Green deposits within the Aileron Project, Western Australia, and commenced diamond drilling to test mineralisation depth at Emily.

Encounter Resources has significantly extended the shallow, high-grade niobium mineralisation at its Emily deposit and confirmed thick, high-grade zones at Green within the Aileron Project. A 70,000m drilling campaign is underway, underpinning resource growth and development plans.

Rincon Resources confirms historic high-grade gold-copper mineralisation extensions at Telfer South and secures a significant joint venture deal for West Arunta, underpinning its exploration focus and capital position.
