CZR Resources has proposed spending up to $15 million of existing cash on a share buy-back if its Zuleika Gold takeover succeeds and shareholders approve the plan. The transaction could leave Mark Creasy and associated entities with more than 56% of the combined group if they do not participate.

QMines has returned its first modern assay results from beneath the flooded Mt Chalmers pit, with two pontoon holes grading nearly 20% above the existing resource model. A high-grade polymetallic lens and 37 pending assays give the drilling campaign a substantial next phase.

Anson Resources has raised Green River’s modelled post-tax NPV8 to approximately US$1.046 billion after incorporating two conditional Utah incentives. The uplift leaves the project’s US$569 million capital estimate and lithium-price assumption unchanged, but the benefits remain tied to construction, performance and financing milestones.

TerraCom’s audited FY2026 results turned a previously reported A$45.6 million loss into a A$155.5 million statutory loss after A$103.5 million of non-cash impairments. The auditor highlighted material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern as Blair Athol remains below plan and new funding is not yet fully secured.

ION Video has issued 7.63 million shares and 3.81 million options under its September placement, with the options exercisable at $1.00 until September 2027. Directors are also seeking approval for a further 3 million shares and 1.5 million options.

Aurum Resources has confirmed that the Boundiali assay information was market-sensitive, while defending the timing and validity of a cleansing notice issued before the results were released. ASX has not indicated whether it accepts the company’s explanation.

88 Energy says multiple bids have been received for a farm-out of its South Prudhoe Project, with negotiations continuing toward a preferred partner. Preparations for the Augusta-1 exploration well are advancing, but the planned Q1 2027 spud still depends on farm-out completion and financing.

Stellar Resources has intersected high-grade tin 150 metres north of its Severn resource, strengthening the geological case for a connection with the Montana deposit. Follow-up drilling is underway, but any resource or production uplift remains unconfirmed.

Renascor has produced battery-grade purified spherical graphite at demonstration scale, achieving 99.97% carbon purity through its hydrofluoric acid-free process. The result strengthens the commercialisation case, but Siviour graphite trials, customer qualification and project financing are still ahead.

Kingsgate Consolidated has converted a full year of Chatree mining into record financial results, with revenue up 77% and net profit reaching A$277.9 million. The balance sheet is stronger, dividends have returned and Nueva Esperanza is moving towards a feasibility decision, but higher waste movement and project execution now replace the turnaround story.

BOA Resources has extended a run of strong copper results at Ricci Lee, with high-grade intersections in 20 of 23 RC holes reported so far. The results support continuity in the Main Lode and point to a second Hanging-Wall Lode, while another 23 RC assays remain pending.

ECS Botanics is taking six Australian-grown medicinal cannabis flower products into the UK through Curaleaf Laboratories, with initial supply targeted for November. The two-year deal offers access to UK sell-through but no guaranteed volumes, revenue or minimum purchases.

Lux Copper’s first three diamond holes at the Baird project in Alaska have intersected broad zones of visually identified copper mineralisation from surface and at depth. The company now faces the more consequential test: laboratory assays expected in November.

EcoGraf has completed a A$4.727 million capital raising to support debt financing and development work at its Epanko graphite project in Tanzania. The raise combines a shareholder-backed SPP with a discounted placement to institutional and sophisticated investors.

Stakk has won a minimum two-year agreement to provide AI-powered cheque-processing and fraud-mitigation technology to Step, the US fintech platform owned by MrBeast’s Beast Industries. The contract went live on signing, but its value remains undisclosed because revenue will depend on processing volumes.

An independent, Rhythm-funded economic model estimates its ColoSTAT blood test could avoid 29,427 public-hospital colonoscopies a year and deliver $72.4 million in net annual hospital savings. The figures strengthen Rhythm’s planned case for Medicare reimbursement, but remain modelled estimates rather than evidence from real-world use.

PhosCo has paired a non-binding development partnership with a proposed $1.4 million investment from Tunisia’s STUDI International, giving the Gasaat project a local engineering partner as feasibility work approaches. The funding and collaboration remain subject to formal documentation, leaving execution as the next test.

Tambourah Metals is seeking up to $2.2 million through a one-for-four non-renounceable entitlement offer to fund exploration across its gold and critical minerals portfolio. The raise also offers investors free options, while full participation would expand shares on issue by about 25%.

Ordell Minerals says new assays confirm wide, shallow gold mineralisation across about 400 metres at McNabs East, with the mineralised zone remaining open. The results are intended to support a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate targeted for the December 2026 quarter, although the resource and any mining decision remain outstanding.

Barton Gold has completed its 38,760-metre Phase 2 drilling program at Tunkillia with a series of broad, high-grade gold intersections across planned starter pits. The results now feed into an updated gold Resource, followed by a silver update and pre-feasibility study targeted for the first quarter of 2027.

Arovella Therapeutics has released a second clinical batch of its off-the-shelf CAR-iNKT therapy ALA-101, with material expected to support dose escalation and the start of dose expansion in blood cancers. The company is also adding hospital sites ahead of anticipated first-patient dosing in late October.

Southern Cross Gold’s latest infill drilling at Sunday Creek has delivered some of its strongest composite intersections, including 2.7 metres at 178.4 g/t gold and 6.8 metres at 49.8 g/t gold. The tighter drilling also extended Golden Dyke west towards Christina and uncovered four vein sets outside the current Exploration Target.

hipages Group delivered stronger FY26 cash generation, expanded into insurance and set higher targets for revenue, margins and free cash flow in FY27. The headline profit surge was substantially helped by an $8.9 million deferred tax benefit, making cash flow and platform adoption the more useful measures of progress.

Tyranna Resources has identified high-grade surface anomalies at its Coola project in Angola, including soil assays of up to 13.18% TREO and 3.9% Nb₂O₅. The results refine drill targets ahead of a maiden program planned for the second quarter of 2027, subject to wet-season conditions.
