The near-term test is whether it can close funding for NSW1 while bringing its largely completed Salisbury plant into revenue.

Alara Resources’ independently audited reserve statement supports about eight more years of production at its Oman copper mine, with 7.70 million tonnes classified as Probable Ore Reserves.

Podium Minerals has improved flotation recovery at its Parks Reef PGM project to 67% while maintaining overall concentrator recovery near 80%, with a smaller targeted downstream circuit.

Grange Resources has approved a lower-capital underground development at Savage River, targeting a 43% project IRR and production continuity to at least 2035.

Strata Minerals has established a maiden JORC 2012 resource of 42,000 ounces at its Zelica Gold Project in Western Australia, with 68% classified as Indicated.

The deal comes at a 5.6% premium to the company’s 15-day VWAP, but the second tranche and broker options still require shareholder approval.

ReNerve has received supportive FDA feedback on the preclinical and testing pathway for its NervAlign Nerve Guide Matrix. The guidance sharpens the route towards a US submission, but does not amount to clearance and leaves the submission timetable open.

Minerals Exploration has shifted decisively into New Zealand gold and tungsten, but its annual report flags a $2.66 million loss and a material uncertainty over its ability to continue without further funding. Exploration results are encouraging, though the company has yet to establish a mineral resource or economic discovery.

Power Minerals has reported 91 metres at 7.7% TREO from surface in a new Morro do Ferro drillhole, including 23.1 metres at 17.5% TREO. The result strengthens the case for continuity ahead of a maiden resource estimate, while a separate non-binding Salta lithium venture has been terminated.
