November 2026

Forte Energy has joined forces with the Autana Group to screen oil opportunities in Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador, starting with a three-phase study capped at US$150,000. The agreement offers regional access and local expertise, but does not yet identify an asset, licence or commercial discovery.

Alara Resources has received its first dividend from its Oman copper subsidiary, providing A$3.78 million in non-dilutive cash after a record quarter of concentrate shipments. The payment gives the parent company room to fund exploration, reduce debt and support working capital without immediately issuing shares.

Ocean Sciences has secured firm commitments for a $700,000 placement to fund its Indonesian seaweed operations, innovation centre and research pipeline. The raising comes with a substantial package of options, while a further loyalty offer could add to the company’s future capital structure.

Aldoro Resources has entered voluntary suspension on the ASX while it prepares to announce a significant strategic partnership agreement. The market has been given no details on the proposed partner, terms or financial impact.

Scentre Group has reaffirmed its 2026 earnings and distribution targets after reporting higher customer traffic, stronger business partner sales and record-level occupancy across its Westfield portfolio. The update also puts a number on the group’s exposure to David Jones and details fresh debt funding and asset recycling.

Manuka Resources recorded A$3.906 million in October precious-metals sales from three Wonawinta deliveries, as the restarted plant moved towards a weekly shipment rhythm. The next test is whether November volumes and head grades can build consistently from here.

Torque Metals has extended high-grade mineralisation beyond the current resource at HHH, including a 1.1-metre interval grading 89.64 g/t gold. The ASX-listed explorer is now preparing to add a third rig after completing a $25 million capital raising.

Pathkey.AI says an independent expert used its Chipforge platform to turn written specifications into working FPGA hardware without assistance from the company or manual code changes. The validation comes as Chipforge moves into pre-production customer work, but 88.5 million performance rights will also vest and the company’s benchmark comparisons remain internally generated.

First Lithium has secured three-year renewals for its Gouna and Faraba exploration licences in Mali, removing the stated hold-up to its maiden JORC resource. The company now faces a more familiar challenge: funding the next phase while seeking ASX re-admission.

Northstone Resources has entered voluntary suspension while it finalises a proposed capital raising, with an announcement expected by 5 November 2026. The size, pricing, structure and potential dilution remain undisclosed.

CSIRO detected hydrogen in every successfully analysed rock sample from Prominence Energy’s Eyre Peninsula project, while identifying two possible geological generation mechanisms and an early seal candidate. The findings sharpen the company’s target-selection work, but stop well short of proving a recoverable accumulation.

Scentre Group has reaffirmed its 2026 funds-from-operations and distribution targets after reporting stronger visitation, sales and leasing metrics across its Westfield portfolio. Exposure to David Jones remains material in floor space but limited in earnings terms, with rent paid through September.

Cazaly Resources has secured a 12-month pathway to acquire up to 90% of 64 Brazilian rare earth and uranium tenements covering 1,118km2. Early exploration has produced elevated TREO results, but the package remains at a preliminary stage and the company has yet to complete due diligence.

Arbitr Group has proposed a A$4.86 million capital raising to fund an organisational reset and push into enterprise AI, while warning that non-participating shareholders could face about 43% dilution. The plan also targets A$2 million in recurring annual cost savings and a calendar 2026 release for its Enterprise AI Context Engine.

Embelton is seeking shareholder approval to leave the ASX, arguing that thin trading and annual listing costs of about $160,000 no longer justify the quotation. The company also proposes an $11 per share buy-back for other shareholders, subject to approval.

Felix Gold has secured $7.25 million in placement commitments at a 14.3% discount and will seek a further $1 million from eligible shareholders. The funds will support mine permitting, refinery studies, drilling and resource work, but part of the raise still requires shareholder approval.

Centaurus Metals has completed CNGR’s US$12.5 million first investment, taking cash received for the Jaguar Nickel Project to US$25 million alongside Glencore’s placement. The second tranche remains conditional on shareholder approval, a final investment decision and, for CNGR, Chinese regulatory clearance.

Titan Minerals has been suspended from trading while it finalises funding arrangements, with the company expecting to make a market announcement by 9 November. The suspension leaves the size, structure and potential impact of the funding undisclosed for now.

PMET Resources has increased contained caesium oxide at its Shaakichiuwaanaan project by 55% and added maiden rubidium and CV4 lithium resources. The update is designed to feed an updated feasibility study and broader economic assessment due before year end, but the new resources are not yet reserves.

Core Energy Minerals has mobilised its geological team and drilling contractor for a 24-hole campaign at the Barking Gecko uranium prospect in Namibia. The program will test whether historical high-grade mineralisation continues at depth and along strike, but no new assay results or resource estimate has yet been reported.

BOA Resources has completed its maiden 46-hole RC program at Ricci Lee with high-grade copper results across two lodes, including a 23-metre intersection at 2.65% copper. The mineralisation remains open at depth and to the north, with diamond drilling planned to begin in November.

Beam Communications has returned to positive underlying earnings and cash generation after exiting ZOLEO, but the reset comes with a materially smaller revenue base. The satellite communications group expects FY27 operating cashflow to remain positive despite forecasting lower revenue than FY26.

Cynata Therapeutics has completed its $912,962 entitlement offer and secured firm commitments for a further $550,000 placement. The second raise still requires shareholder approval and will bring additional shares and options into an already heavily funded capital structure.

Caprice Resources has declared a maiden 522,000-ounce JORC Mineral Resource at its Island Gold Project in Western Australia, including a 340,000-ounce high-grade component. The resource gives the company a quantified platform for growth, but nearly half the ounces remain Inferred and the project is not yet an Ore Reserve.
