Peregrine Gold has secured $2.25 million through a discounted placement backed by major shareholder Mark Creasy, Lion Selection Group and company directors. The funding is earmarked for maiden drilling and broader gold and iron ore exploration in Western Australia, subject to heritage and Programme of Work approvals.

First Au will acquire six exploration licences in Western Australia’s Ora Banda district for A$150,000 upfront, with a further A$500,000 deferred at the seller’s discretion. The deal expands its Riverina tenure but comes with a A$250,000 drilling commitment and remains subject to completion conditions.

Dynamic Metals will sell its Lady Jane Gold Project to First Au for up to A$650,000 while retaining a 1.5% gross revenue royalty. The buyer must spend at least A$250,000 on direct drilling within two years, or Dynamic can seek to take the project back.

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.

Riversgold has lodged the Mine Development and Closure Proposal for its Northern Zone open-pit project near Kalgoorlie, moving the planned mine into its final major approval phase. The project remains conditional on regulatory sign-offs, but MEGA Resources is set to fund development under an extended cooperation agreement.

Helix Resources is shifting its exploration focus from Arizona towards Pilbara gold after a year of acquisitions, portfolio reassessment and a narrowed annual loss. The strategy reset comes with only $83,676 in cash, a stated need for further funding and a proposed Mosquito Creek acquisition awaiting shareholder approval.

Cauldron Energy has told the ASX it knows of no undisclosed information behind a sharp fall in its share price and a surge in trading activity. The company has pointed instead to a possible Betashares Global Uranium ETF rebalance, while stressing that explanation remains unconfirmed.

Piche Resources has identified a broad gold-silver system at Toro Hosco in Argentina after completing its maiden 5,911-metre drilling campaign. The exploration progress came alongside a $5.27 million annual loss, $5.22 million operating cash outflow and reliance on post-year-end equity funding.

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.

Macro Metals turned a largely exploratory business into a revenue-generating mining services operator in FY26, with statutory revenue rising to A$1.72 million and approximately A$21.13 million of work awarded. The progress came with a material warning: the auditor said additional funding remains necessary to support the company as it grows.

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.

RareX has moved Cummins Range through key permitting and heritage milestones, while stronger metallurgical results broaden the project’s critical-minerals potential. But the explorer’s annual loss widened to A$5.07 million, cash burn remained high and its going-concern assessment still depends on future funding and project development.
