Novo Resources is positioning a A$8 million cash balance and A$37.54 million investment portfolio behind a broad Australian gold, copper and polymetallic exploration push. The strategy brings several drilling catalysts, but also a A$10 million deferred payment due in December and a heavy reliance on future exploration success.

Cavalier Resources is advancing site preparation, contractor negotiations and recruitment at its Crawford Gold Project, but its financing remains unfinished after Javelin Global Commodities’ exclusivity period expired. Shareholders have also approved a A$60,000 share subscription by interim CEO Daniel Tuffin.

West Coast Silver has added a 70%-owned prospect immediately west of its Elizabeth Hill silver mine, with historical results pointing to silver, copper, nickel and palladium potential. The targets remain early-stage: the company plans data review, fieldwork and geophysics before deciding whether to drill.

Antipa Minerals has selected a preferred processing and mine development configuration for its Minyari Dome project, combining gold doré with a separate copper concentrate. The decision advances the study, but pushes the pre-feasibility study release into November 2026 while costs and project economics are finalised.

Platina Resources has reshaped itself around a 312 square kilometre gold portfolio in Western Australia’s Laverton district, backed by $8.61 million in cash. The FY2026 annual report shows stronger exploration momentum, but the company remains loss-making and dependent on turning targets into discoveries.

OzAurum Resources has shifted Mulgabbie North from feasibility work into early construction, backed by encouraging laboratory heap leach results and a $4.10 million placement. But the company remains loss-making, cash-burning and dependent on further funding, with its auditor flagging a material uncertainty over going concern.

Carnaby Resources’ proposed acquisition by Evolution Mining has moved closer to completion after ASIC registered the scheme booklet and Evolution waived the ACCC clearance condition. The scrip deal still requires shareholder and Court approval, with the vote set for 26 October.

Meeka Metals has reported its first full-year profit as a gold producer, but the $51.3 million result came after a difficult second half and $107 million of growth investment. The company is now betting that higher-grade underground ore, processing upgrades and a fresh Mt Holland portfolio can improve cash generation.

TG Metals has strengthened its gold and lithium resource base, but the annual report carries a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company ended June with $641,906 in cash, before securing a further $2.5 million placement after year end.

Cygnus has cleared the remaining conditions tied to its options and share rights, but Central Asia Metals now expects Kazakhstan approval after the scheduled 23 September court date. The proposed takeover timetable will be pushed back, with approval currently expected by 12 October.

Agrimin has completed its withdrawal from the Mackay Potash Project and repositioned itself around exploration at the 480-square-kilometre Mount Squires Project. The pivot reduced the company’s annual loss, but left it with $1.08 million in cash, net current liabilities and no JORC mineral resources or ore reserves.

Parbo Resources has completed a $5 million IPO raise ahead of a proposed ASX listing, giving the pre-revenue explorer fresh funding for its Western Australian projects. Its FY2026 accounts show a $187,285 loss, $2.29 million in cash at year-end and $1.31 million in capitalised exploration assets.
