Q1 2027 TU earnings summary
18 Oct, 2026Executive summary
Exploration-focused quarter across Jillewarra, Warraweena and Loch Lilly; Jillewarra RC targets cleared for drilling, Warraweena diamond drilling began after quarter-end, and Loch Lilly’s trial MIP survey was completed.
Jillewarra’s JV earn-in period was extended to 3 July 2027; the major reconnaissance aircore program is targeted for early 2027, subject to survey, permit and access progress.
Financial highlights
Quarter operating cash outflow was A$1.144m, including A$949k for exploration and evaluation, A$196k for staff costs and A$192k for administration and corporate costs; A$195k interest received partly offset outflows.
Cash and cash equivalents were A$17.35m at 30 September 2026, versus A$18.571m at quarter start.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure under ASX Listing Rule 5.3.1 was A$1.1m for the quarter.
Outlook and guidance
Planned cash outflows for the quarter ending 30 December 2026 are forecast at ~A$2.6m, potentially affected by permitting delays and timely rig availability.
Jillewarra Western Trend and Margueritta South RC drilling is to begin once a suitable rig is sourced; Karbar shear zone aircore drilling is targeted for early 2027 if surveys and approvals progress without adverse issues.
Warraweena T37 and Lilyfield drilling is expected to take two months to mid-December; T37 assays may arrive before Christmas and Lilyfield results early in 2027.
Loch Lilly drilling is planned after geophysical assessment and NSW permit approvals.
