1. **Catalyst Metals (ASX:CYL)**
Catalyst Metals Limited is engaged in the exploration and evaluation of mineral properties in Australia, with a market capitalization of approximately A$697.67 million. The company recently turned profitable, with net income reaching A$23.56 million for the year ending June 2024. Earnings are projected to grow annually by 45.83%, and the stock is trading at a substantial discount of 86% below estimated fair value. This suggests potential for future appreciation.

With sales reaching A$371.07 million and net income at A$84.27 million for the year ending June 2024, its profitability is evident. Despite a debt-to-equity increase to 8.5% over five years, its interest payments are well covered by EBIT at an impressive 18.6x coverage ratio, indicating strong financial health.
3. **Ora Banda Mining (ASX:OBM)**
Ora Banda Mining Limited focuses on the exploration, operation, and development of mineral properties in Australia with a market capitalization of A$1.24 billion.
