True North Copper expanded its copper growth pipeline in FY26, but the annual report makes clear that exploration momentum still depends on fresh capital. The company ended the year with A$7.1 million in cash and a A$7.5 million Mt Oxide payment due in December.

Benz Mining’s quarterly loss widened sharply as exploration spending surged at its Western Australian projects, but a subsequent C$148.02 million placement has given the company substantial funding to accelerate Glenburgh drilling. The project’s 10.1-12.0 million ounce Exploration Target remains conceptual rather than a Mineral Resource.

Barys Resources is seeking up to A$2.64 million through a 1-for-1 entitlement offer priced at a 41% discount, with most proceeds earmarked for Kazakhstan gold exploration. But only A$800,000 is underwritten, leaving the final funding outcome and potential dilution dependent on shareholder participation.

Range International has replaced CEO Russell Kennett with Executive Chairman Richard Jenkins on an interim basis, with Jenkins to spend more time overseeing the company’s Indonesian operations. The restructure is expected to cut costs by up to 50%, although the company has not disclosed a baseline or implementation timetable.

EV Resources has completed its A$1.52 million rights issue as crushing and screening gets underway at the Tecomatlán antimony plant in Mexico. The company now has Vinatas ore and a 200-tonne Chinantla stockpile available for a production-capable proof-of-concept campaign, although first concentrate and binding offtake agreements remain ahead.

Prominence Energy has secured an independent resource framework for its Eyre Project, with RISC Advisory estimating 202.8 Bscf of 2U unrisked hydrogen and 9.2 Bscf of helium across 15 leads. The milestone moves the South Australian project towards target selection, potential farm-out discussions and a planned mid-2027 drilling campaign, but the volumes remain undiscovered and highly exploratory.

GenusPlus has secured an approximately $160 million contract to deliver balance-of-plant works for a 400 MW / 1.86 GWh battery project at Wodonga, Victoria. Construction is scheduled for completion in late 2028, although the announcement also refers to delivery over the next 18 months.

Synertec has identified ANSTO as the client behind its $45.5 million engineering contract, with about $36 million of revenue expected during the first 26 months. The project could improve FY27 revenue, but the company has not yet revised its guidance.

Cyprium Metals has begun acid commissioning at its Nifty heap leach pads for the first time since 2009, bringing its copper restart into the operational phase. The company now expects first cathode production in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to energisation, wet commissioning and ramp-up.

Minerals 260 has secured an additional $200 million funding package from Franco-Nevada for its 6.2Moz Bullabulling Gold Project, including $170 million in royalty funding and a planned $30 million equity subscription. The deal strengthens project financing, but the future equity raising and higher royalty burden remain important details for shareholders.

Proteomics International has begun a controlled release of two Promarker diagnostic tests through Healius in Western Australia and the Northern Territory. National commercial sales are targeted for Q2 FY27, but uptake and revenue remain difficult to estimate at this early stage.

Midas Minerals has returned a high-grade 10.9-metre copper intercept at its Deblin deposit in Namibia, including 5.7 metres at 8.85% copper. The results strengthen the case for continued resource drilling, although Deblin has yet to receive a mineral resource estimate.

Tivan has secured a 50 km² exploration concession immediately north of its Turiscai project in Timor-Leste, subject to formal regulatory grant. The addition would lift the project to eight licences covering approximately 394 km² ahead of planned maiden drilling in the fourth quarter.

NRW Holdings has secured approximately $313 million of additional work across a gold-processing expansion for Ramelius Resources and optional transport infrastructure works in Western Australia. The awards strengthen both Primero's minerals-processing pipeline and NRW's civil construction order book, although contract-level revenue and margin details remain undisclosed.

Kalgoorlie Gold Mining has secured A$2.3 million through a placement and launched a fully underwritten A$1.1 million entitlement offer to fund exploration at its Pinjin Gold Project. The capital will target new drilling at the Lighthorse discovery, where earlier assays included high-grade gold within broader mineralised intervals.

Infinity Mining has extended the gold anomaly at its Tanjil Dome project in Victoria to about 1km and identified a separate 1.5km anomalous trend at Good Hope. Surface samples returned up to 3.70 g/t gold at Tanjil Dome and 12.91 g/t from a Good Hope mullock sample, with trenching and drilling now planned.

Terramin Australia has launched a partially underwritten $28.65 million entitlement offer to fund project development and reduce debt owed to major shareholder Asipac. The raise could also materially reshape the company’s ownership, while its prospectus flags a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

Titomic has secured a US$5.0 million contract to install and commission its TKF 1000 cold spray system at the U.S. Air Force’s Tinker Air Force Base. Delivery is scheduled for the third quarter of 2027, subject to site coordination and approvals.

GreenTech Metals has returned its strongest multi-metre copper result to date at the Ayshia deposit, with gold, silver and zinc credits included. The intersection sits approximately 65 metres beyond the existing resource envelope, although its true width remains unconfirmed.

Entropy Neurodynamics reported that all six patients in Cohort 1 of its Phase 2 BED trial maintained clinically meaningful improvement 12 weeks after two TRP-8803 infusions. Three patients experienced no binge-eating episodes during the 84-day follow-up, although the results come from a small, open-label study without a control group.

Victory Metals has secured a 2,006-hectare mining lease for its North Stanmore heavy rare earths project in Western Australia. The grant removes a key tenure hurdle, but technical studies, approvals, offtake agreements and financing still stand between the project and a development decision.

L1 Gold Fund has completed its retail entitlement offer, taking its latest equity raising to approximately A$375.4 million. L1 Group has also subscribed for A$42 million through the remaining shortfall offer, while the final allocation remains open.

Sinclair Gold has doubled the JORC Mineral Resource at its Mt Henry project to 1.8 million ounces after just 20,426 metres of drilling. The shallow resource remains open, with five rigs operating and assays pending from 25 holes outside the current estimate.

Falcon Metals has confirmed high-grade gold and visible gold across a 750-metre strike at the Lotus Zone, including intercepts of up to 64.0g/t. The result keeps Blue Moon open to the north, while three diamond rigs continue testing the broader Bendigo-style system.
