How many governments does it take to build one mine? For Viridis Mining and Minerals (ASX: VMM), the answer is four. The ASX-listed company just announced up to US $120 million in strategic equity funding for its Colossus Project in Brazil. Beyond that equity, government agencies from Australia, Canada, France and Brazil have lined up behind its debt.

They`re not doing it for charity. Rare earths drive everything from wind turbines and electric motors to defence technology and smartphones. China refines most of the world`s supply. So Western governments are paying to build the alternative almost anywhere else they can. Governments used to leave mining to miners. Now they`re on the cap table.

Dreadnought Resources (ASX:DRE) continues to prove up the prospectivity of its critical minerals exploration portfolio. High-grade tungsten mineralisation has been confirmed across the company’s Mangaroon and Mangaroon South projects in WA’s Gascoyne region, with these recent results reaching 6.5% tungsten oxide.

⛏️ High-grade results: Recent rock chips at Nina return up to 6.5% tungsten trioxide (WO₃), with historical results reaching 12.7% WO₃ across an 800m-long high-grade zone.
🔎 Multiple targets: First-pass sampling at Mulka Well returns up to 1.9% WO₃, with more than a dozen additional scheelite occurrences yet to be systematically sampled.
🌏 Critical mineral: Tungsten is classified as a critical mineral by Australia, the US and other major economies and is used across defence, electronics and industrial applications.
Dreadnought Resources plans further mapping and sampling from September, with drilling at Nina targeted for late 2026 or early 2027.

“While we remain focused on gold, adding in high-grade tungsten targets will ensure we pursue the most attractive opportunities to add value through discovery and diversify our exploration and potential development opportunities.” – Dean Tuck, Dreadnought Resources Managing Director

How did Evolution Mining (ASX:EVN) achieve record FY26 results? Not by digging up more gold than last year. The Aussie miner just reported its full-year numbers, with profit rising 59 per cent, to nearly $1.5 billion. The company also cleared its net debt completely and more than doubled its full-year dividend.

However, gold production fell 5 per cent, copper dropped 14 per cent and costs per ounce rose 9 per cent. So what factors rose Evolutions results to a record? Price. Evolution`s gold sold for an average of $6023 dollars an ounce, up 40 per cent in a year, while copper gained 25 per cent.

A record financial year doesn`t always mean operational growth. Sometimes the price does the heavy lifting.

Northern Minerals (ASX:NTU) continues to progress the development strategy for its Browns Range Heavy Rare Earths Project in Western Australia’s East Kimberley. Deposits within this Project are particularly rich in dysprosium and terbium, two rare earth elements used in high-performance magnets for military, clean-energy and high-technology applications.

🇦🇺 Heavy rare earths: The company’s flagship Wolverine deposit is described as one of Australia’s highest-grade dysprosium and terbium ore bodies. These elements improve the resistance of magnets to demagnetisation, making them important for demanding applications.

🛡️ Defence relevance: Dysprosium-neodymium-iron-boron (DyNdFeB) magnets are used across military and advanced technology applications. Northern Minerals is targeting Browns Range as an alternative source of dysprosium and terbium to supply currently dominated by China.

🏗️ Path to production: Following completion of the Browns Range definitive feasibility study, Northern Minerals is progressing project funding discussions for a commercial-scale operation at Wolverine. The company plans to deliver processed material to Iluka Resources’ (ASX:ILU) rare earths refinery under construction at Eneabba, Western Australia.

ASIC recently granted Northern Minerals a further extension for the company to hold its 2025 AGM, with the meeting now required by 30 November 2026, or within 42 business days of Treasury formally notifying the company that certain disposal orders have been complied with.
