Price Target:
AU$0.06
▲(12.00% Upside)
The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance—ongoing losses, minimal revenue, and sustained negative operating/free cash flow—despite a strong, low-debt balance sheet. Technicals add modest support as the price is above key moving averages, but elevated RSI and slightly negative MACD introduce near-term momentum risk. Valuation provides limited support given the negative P/E and no dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Very low leverage / strong balance sheet resilience
Extremely low leverage gives durable financial flexibility for a junior explorer: the company can fund near-term exploration or withstand cycles without immediate solvency pressure. That resilience supports strategic optionality when negotiating JV or farm‑out deals.
Growing asset base
An expanding asset base reflects capital deployed into the Mt Cannindah project and related exploration. Durable asset growth can strengthen project economics, provide collateral for financing, and improve attractiveness for partners or acquirers as resources are advanced.
Clear project focus and exploration capability
A concentrated strategy centered on a single flagship copper‑gold project gives clarity to capital allocation and technical efforts. Sustained drilling and evaluation capability increases the chance of defining a mineable resource and securing long‑term monetisation or partnership outcomes.
Negative Factors
Persistent operating losses
Recurring losses undermine internal funding capacity and erode return metrics over time. For a junior explorer this raises structural risk: continued negative profitability reduces retained equity, limits reinvestment, and forces reliance on external financing that can dilute shareholders.
Sustained negative operating & free cash flow
Consistent cash burn creates an ongoing funding imperative. Over months this compels capital raises, asset sales, or JV deals, which can be dilutive or costly. Structural cash outflows constrain the company's ability to pace exploration optimally and increase financing risk.
Minimal, volatile revenue base
Nearly non‑existent operating revenue means the business lacks internal revenue support for operations and must rely on capital markets or partners. This structural revenue deficiency heightens execution risk and ties corporate viability to successful resource definition or external funding.

Cannindah Resources Limited Business Overview & Revenue Model

Company DescriptionCannindah Resources Limited, together with its subsidiaries, engages in the exploration, evaluation, and development of various mineral projects in Australia. The company primarily explores for copper and gold deposits. Its flagship project is the Mount Cannindah project located in Queensland. The company was formerly known as Planet Metals Limited and changed its name to Cannindah Resources Limited in December 2014. Cannindah Resources Limited was incorporated in 2004 and is headquartered in Bundall, Australia.
How the Company Makes MoneyCannindah Resources Limited generates revenue through the exploration and development of its mineral projects, with a focus on copper and gold resources. The company aims to increase its value by advancing its projects through various stages of exploration, feasibility studies, and potentially moving towards production. Revenue can be generated through selling the extracted minerals, forming strategic partnerships, or joint ventures with other mining companies to share costs and risks. Additionally, the company may seek funding through equity issuances or other financial instruments to support its exploration activities.

Cannindah Resources Limited Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Overall fundamentals are constrained by persistent losses and cash burn. Income statement strength is weak with recurring losses and minimal, volatile revenue, while cash flow is consistently negative (including negative operating and free cash flow), implying ongoing funding needs. The main offset is a strong balance sheet with very low leverage and sizable equity, providing flexibility despite negative returns.
Income Statement
18
Very Negative
Operating performance remains weak, with recurring losses across most years and negative operating profitability in 2025 (EBIT of -381k; net income of -961k). Revenue is minimal and volatile (2025 revenue only ~15k after effectively zero in prior years), so margins and growth rates are not yet meaningful indicators of a durable business model. A prior-year profit in 2021 appears non-recurring versus the otherwise consistent loss profile.
Balance Sheet
72
Positive
The balance sheet is a relative strength: leverage is very low in recent periods (2025 debt-to-equity ~0.0015; total debt ~29k against ~19.4m equity), providing financial flexibility. Total assets are stable-to-growing (2025 ~20.1m vs 2023 ~16.8m). Key risk: profitability is negative, with return on equity still below zero in the latest years (e.g., 2025 ~-4.9%), meaning continued losses could erode equity over time.
Cash Flow
24
Negative
Cash generation is pressured, with negative operating cash flow in every year shown (2025 about -970k) and consistently negative free cash flow (2025 about -4.45m), implying ongoing funding needs. While free cash flow improved versus 2023’s deeper outflow, the company is still cash-consuming and operating cash flow does not support earnings (operating cash flow to net income is negative in recent periods), increasing reliance on external capital until operations scale or spending moderates.

Cannindah drills high-grade copper-gold, upgrades Mt Cannindah porphyry potential
Jan 29, 2026

Cannindah Resources reported a standout December 2025 quarter marked by completion of a 6,136m reverse circulation scout drilling program across the Cannindah Breccia, Southern Target and Eastern Target, delivering multiple high-grade copper-gold intercepts that significantly upgrade both the established breccia resource and the potentially transformational Southern Porphyry Target. Results indicate the Southern Target now hosts a large, open porphyry footprint exceeding 2km by 800m with characteristics of a fertile gold-rich intrusive system, supporting an exploration target of 64,000–114,000 tonnes of copper equivalent and reinforcing the broader Mt Cannindah Project’s potential to define substantial porphyry-related copper-gold-silver-molybdenum resources, a positive signal for the company’s growth prospects and future drilling strategy.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:CAE) stock is a Hold with a A$0.04 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Cannindah Resources Limited stock, see the AU:CAE Stock Forecast page.

Cannindah Strikes High-Grade Copper-Gold in First Deep Drilling at Mt Cannindah Southern Porphyry
Jan 27, 2026

Cannindah Resources has reported substantial high-grade gold and copper intersections from its first deep reverse circulation drilling at the Southern Porphyry Target at Mt Cannindah, highlighted by a 28m interval grading 1.15% copper equivalent that ended in mineralisation and is interpreted as the upper levels of a significant porphyry copper-gold system. Results from the first four of nine holes confirm the presence of a large, metalliferous copper-gold system with classic grade shells and mineral zonation over a surface footprint exceeding 2,000m by 800m, supporting the company’s geological model and justifying further targeted deep drilling that could materially enhance the project’s resource potential and Cannindah’s positioning in the Australian copper-gold exploration sector.

Cannindah Targets Southern ‘Gap Zone’ to Grow High‑Grade Copper-Gold Resource at Mt Cannindah
Jan 21, 2026

Cannindah Resources has identified a substantial opportunity to grow the high‑grade copper-gold-silver resource at its Mt Cannindah Breccia deposit, after recent drilling highlighted a poorly tested southern “Gap Zone” covering about 270 metres of the 600‑metre strike that is flanked by strong mineralised intercepts to the north and south. The company will launch a 12‑hole drilling program in January 2026 to increase data density in this southern portion, which currently represents nearly half the breccia strike but only 22% of total copper-equivalent tonnes, with the aim of upgrading the existing 14.5Mt at 1.09% CuEq resource and potentially enhancing the project’s scale and value; results are also pending from nine holes into a separate Southern Porphyry target that could further transform the project’s growth profile.
