Placement supports exploration
The April placement sought A$3m gross for Hawkins drilling; net financing cash is shown separately from the headline raising.
BPM’s latest five-year record runs from FY2022 to FY2026. A refreshed cash balance in the final year reflects fundraising and asset-portfolio changes, while statutory losses still include exploration-related costs and non-cash write-offs.
Reading the figures: Units are stated above each table or beside the metric. Brackets denote negative amounts. Supported nil is shown as zero; unlike reporting bases remain separately labelled.
30 June balance.
Excludes positive OCI.
Not gross announced proceeds.
Non-cash loss component.
The group’s earlier portfolio focused on Western Australian mineral exploration. The latest extraction describes a Claw disposal and a shift of effort toward Forelands; these changes are not evidence of commercial production.
Fundraising increased cash in FY2026 despite a larger loss. The loss includes A$1.242m of non-cash tenement write-offs, so it cannot be treated as the cash consumed during the year.
The April placement sought A$3m gross for Hawkins drilling; net financing cash is shown separately from the headline raising.
Operating and investing outflows reduced cash; financing was a net outflow rather than another placement inflow.
Net loss is shown separately from the additional OCI loss. The asset base remained dependent on project recovery.
The project was held for sale at June; the binding sale agreement followed on 8 July 2025. The A$1.5m consideration is not treated as June cash.
Claw was sold during the year and capital raisings replenished cash. The July 2026 drilling announcement is subsequent to this financial period.
Cash recovered in FY2026 after several years of drawdown. The larger closing balance follows financing and disposals; it should not be presented as mine-generated cash or a guarantee that future exploration is fully funded.

Operating cash remained negative while net investing became positive in the disposal year. The current cash-flow classification is retained rather than relabelling the net inflow as negative capex.

Positive OCI in FY2026 reduces the comprehensive loss relative to net loss. It does not reduce the statutory loss-after-tax figure or produce equivalent cash. The comparative year has the reverse-sign OCI effect.
