Tlou Energy has generated its first revenue from gas-derived power at the Lesedi project, but the milestone sits alongside a A$59.96 million loss, minimal cash and a material going-concern uncertainty. Proposed debt conversions could reduce liabilities, yet neither transaction is binding or provides new funding.

The operational progress is material, but the company still faces a funding hurdle and has not yet demonstrated sustained commercial gas flow.

Heavy Rare Earths has identified high-grade heavy rare earth zones at Subron while preparing drilling across its South Australian portfolio. But the FY2026 report also highlights a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, with only $459,327 in cash at year-end.

Victor Group Holdings has swung from a $1.43 million profit to a $3.93 million half-year loss after fully impairing its iRich Finance investment.

Killi Resources has emerged from FY2026 with $14.68 million in cash and a far larger strategic ambition, centred on its proposed 80% acquisition of the Lodestone Iron Ore Project.

Rumble Resources has moved Western Queen closer to a potential 2027 gold start, pairing a larger resource with third-party processing access and A$10 million in royalty funding.

Raptor Metals completed its transformation into a Canadian copper and polymetallic explorer in FY2026, backed by drilling success at Chester and new Bathurst Mining Camp acquisitions.

Tribune Resources delivered a sharply stronger FY2026 result, with revenue up 28.4% and profit attributable to shareholders rising to $75.7 million. The result was helped by a $35.0 million reversal of the prior Raleigh impairment, while operating cash flow and year-end cash both fell.

Axel REE has more than doubled the Woolrich resource to 264.6 million tonnes and delivered its first Indicated classification at the Brazilian rare earths project.

Pure One Corporation Limited (ASX:P1E) reported FY26 net profit after tax of A$5.070 million, alongside A$7.191 million in cash and term deposits.

Krakatoa Resources advanced drilling at its flagship Zopkhito antimony-gold project in Georgia, but the exploration push more than doubled its annual loss and reduced cash to $739,459.

Clara Resources has pivoted decisively from coal to gold, but its Mareeba ambition sits alongside a $7.36 million annual loss, only $112,000 in year-end cash and a disclosed material uncertainty over going concern.
