Orion Minerals sustains exploration spend as financing boosts cash balance

Orion Minerals Limited ( (AU:ORN) ) has issued an announcement.

Orion Minerals reported a net operating cash outflow of A$2.4 million for the March 2026 quarter, driven mainly by exploration and evaluation expenditure, staff costs and corporate overheads. Additional cash usage in investing activities, including exploration, property and non-current assets, totalled A$2.4 million for the quarter, underscoring the company’s continued investment in project development rather than revenue-generating operations.

The cash burn was offset by A$2.4 million of net financing inflows, primarily from new equity issues, option exercises and borrowings, lifting total financing cash inflows to A$16.3 million over nine months. As a result, Orion’s cash balance edged up to A$5.7 million at quarter-end, indicating that current spending is being sustained by capital markets support, a key consideration for shareholders tracking dilution and funding risk in an exploration-stage business.
