Albion Resources has moved into its maiden Gidgee drilling campaign, but the gold explorer’s $2.38 million cash balance and $2.52 million annual operating outflow underpin an auditor warning over its ability to continue without further funding. The company reported a $2.01 million FY2026 loss as it shifted exploration focus towards Gidgee and Yandal West.

Far Northern Resources expanded its Northern Territory gold inventory to 117,000 ounces during FY26, while Bridge Creek moved closer to mining studies. The progress came alongside a wider annual loss, falling cash reserves and an auditor-emphasised going-concern consideration.

Miramar Resources has outlined a maiden 39,764-ounce Inferred gold resource at its Gidji joint venture, but its annual report also flags material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. A September placement has improved liquidity, though further funding and drilling remain central to the story.

Sovereign Metals has expanded Kasiya into a potential rutile, graphite and heavy rare earths project, with a rare earths study adding an estimated US$722 million of pre-tax NPV8. The opportunity comes with a sharper execution challenge: Rio Tinto will not become operator, while Sovereign still needs a mining licence, binding offtakes and substantial funding.

Torque Metals enters FY2027 with a 351,000-ounce Ritz Gold Project resource, $13.6 million in cash and an exceptional post-year-end HHH intercept. But the annual report also carries an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over going concern, with further funding potentially required to sustain exploration.

Aruma Resources’ 2026 annual report puts the Tillex Copper-Silver Project at the centre of its strategy after wide, high-grade drilling results in Ontario. But the explorer also reported a $2.71 million loss, $788,658 in cash and a material going-concern uncertainty dependent on further capital.

Unity Metals has secured an oversubscribed $3.5 million placement and plans a further $1 million share purchase plan to accelerate drilling across its Cambodian gold projects. The raise gives the explorer funding to test extensions at O’Phlay and new targets at Ngot, but also brings dilution and shareholder-approval hurdles.

Nexsen has proposed a 50:50 joint venture with FlashDx Shenzhen to develop and commercialise an enhanced molecular Group B Streptococcus test, using an existing CE-marked platform as its starting point. The proposed venture could shorten Nexsen’s path into hospital and intrapartum testing across Asia-Pacific, but the term sheet remains non-binding and regulatory work is still ahead.
