ACDC Metals enters FY27 with a larger Nevada exploration footprint and a 10-year licence over its Goschen Central rare earths project, but a sharply higher annual loss and ongoing funding needs remain part of the picture. The company plans up to 2,500 metres of reverse-circulation drilling at Mount Jackson in Q4 CY2026.

Audalia Resources has outlined a 24.2 million tonne Medcalf resource, a maiden 11.77 million tonne probable ore reserve and study economics of up to $227 million in NPV. But the ASX-listed developer also reported a $1.31 million loss, only $720,861 in cash and an auditor warning over its ability to continue as a going concern.

TrivarX has made Stabl-Im its central development bet, but the ASX-listed health technology company also reported an $8.76 million FY2026 loss and an auditor-flagged material uncertainty over its ability to continue without further funding. The planned Phase 1 study remains subject to regulatory, ethics and operational clearances.

Australian Gold and Copper expanded its exploration footprint and advanced major targets during FY2026, but the campaign came with a larger loss and a sharp reduction in cash. The company now has a 38.5Moz silver-equivalent Achilles resource, a newly acquired Junee gold portfolio and further funding demands ahead.

Rhythm Biosciences has moved ColoSTAT and geneType into commercial use, recording its first sales during FY2026. But with sales revenue of just $85,339, a $5.93 million loss and an auditor-flagged going-concern uncertainty, the next phase will be judged on cash generation and repeat adoption.

eMetals has shifted its exploration focus from Uganda to a larger Utah tungsten project, where high-grade re-assays have set up a 17-hole drilling campaign.

Cokal’s 60%-owned BBM subsidiary has pushed repayment of a US$20 million capital sum from January 2027 to January 2030. The relief comes with deferred fees carrying 10% annual interest and marketing rights over the first 20 million tonnes of mine production.

Oceana Metals has begun a 20,000-metre diamond drilling campaign at its Serra Negra rare earths project in Brazil, backed by high-grade historic assays and fresh capital.

Ballymore Resources enters FY2027 with Dittmer moving towards underground resource drilling, bulk sampling and trial mining, while Torpy’s has emerged as a second high-grade polymetallic opportunity.

ASF Group strengthened its balance sheet in FY2026 by selling non-core investments and subsidiaries, lifting cash to A$5.19 million and eliminating borrowings.

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.

Empire Resources has expanded its Yuinmery exploration story with new copper, gold and PGE zones, but its FY2026 annual report carries a material uncertainty over whether the company can continue as a going concern. A $4.825 million capital raising lifted cash, yet losses and director-related debt also increased.

Mammoth Minerals expanded its Nevada exploration portfolio and drilled more than 21,000 metres at the Buster Trend, but its FY2026 report also highlights a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company posted a larger loss and remains dependent on future equity funding to sustain exploration.

Desane Group Holdings reported a sharp FY26 profit decline as lower property revaluation gains and higher finance costs overwhelmed largely stable rental income. The ASX-listed property group enters FY27 with more cash, conservative gearing and two developments that now need to convert asset value into earnings.

Critical Minerals Group has put a substantial economic case around its Lindfield vanadium project, but its FY26 accounts also flag a material uncertainty over funding.
