Zeotech Limited (ASX:ZEO) is moving Toondoon toward its first direct-shipping kaolin export after securing a potential A$200 million offtake agreement, while AusPozz™ and zeoteCH₄® produce encouraging trial results. The progress came alongside an A$8.15 million FY26 loss, negative operating cash flow and an acknowledgement that further funding may be required.

Fortuna Metals has reported a sharply expanded exploration base at its Mkanda rutile and graphite project in Malawi, alongside a narrower FY2026 loss and A$8.6 million of post-year-end funding. The resource remains early-stage and inferred, but the scale and product quality have moved the project into a more consequential development phase.

OD6 Metals has transformed its portfolio with the completed acquisition of Nevada’s Quinn Fluorspar Project, but the strategic expansion comes alongside a larger loss, ongoing funding needs and substantial permitting risk. The company is now targeting drilling and a maiden resource at Quinn while advancing laboratory-scale rare earth processing work at Splinter Rock.

OzAurum Resources has shifted Mulgabbie North from feasibility work into early construction, backed by encouraging laboratory heap leach results and a $4.10 million placement. But the company remains loss-making, cash-burning and dependent on further funding, with its auditor flagging a material uncertainty over going concern.

Carnaby Resources’ proposed acquisition by Evolution Mining has moved closer to completion after ASIC registered the scheme booklet and Evolution waived the ACCC clearance condition. The scrip deal still requires shareholder and Court approval, with the vote set for 26 October.

AusQuest has materially expanded its Cangallo copper-gold discovery in Peru, but the exploration push came with a larger loss, a sharp rise in cash outflows and an auditor warning that further funding is likely within 12 months. The company ended FY2026 with $6.35 million in cash after a $10 million placement.

Infinity Metals has reported a sharply smaller FY2026 loss as it shifts its exploration focus towards the United States and Australia. The pivot follows rejection of its San José mining licence application, a A$2.25 million placement and a growing portfolio of early-stage copper, molybdenum and tin targets.

Future Metals has reshaped its Panton development plan around a potentially lower-capital Savannah processing route, but entered FY27 with only A$1.46 million in cash and a formal warning over future funding. A post-year-end A$3.56 million raising now funds the next study phase, including a larger updated resource base.

Meeka Metals has reported its first full-year profit as a gold producer, but the $51.3 million result came after a difficult second half and $107 million of growth investment. The company is now betting that higher-grade underground ore, processing upgrades and a fresh Mt Holland portfolio can improve cash generation.

TG Metals has strengthened its gold and lithium resource base, but the annual report carries a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company ended June with $641,906 in cash, before securing a further $2.5 million placement after year end.

Korvest has entered FY27 with record work on hand after completing a new 3,500 square metre Kilburn factory, even as FY26 profit and operating cash flow declined. The ASX-listed manufacturer maintained its 40-cent fully franked final dividend and plans another $4 million capacity investment.

Elementos has materially strengthened its balance sheet while moving its Spanish Oropesa tin project closer to permitting, financing and a final investment decision. The annual report also highlights a doubling of Cleveland’s inferred tungsten resource, but both projects still require substantial capital and further approvals.

Agrimin has completed its withdrawal from the Mackay Potash Project and repositioned itself around exploration at the 480-square-kilometre Mount Squires Project. The pivot reduced the company’s annual loss, but left it with $1.08 million in cash, net current liabilities and no JORC mineral resources or ore reserves.

Flynn Gold has returned to trading with a one-for-three renounceable rights issue priced at A$0.015, seeking up to approximately A$3 million for Tasmanian exploration. Only A$1.5 million is underwritten, leaving the final proceeds dependent on shareholder participation and shortfall demand.

DPM Metals has extended its Brevene Porphyry South discovery with long, high-grade gold-copper-molybdenum intercepts, including 716.6 metres at 3.30 g/t gold equivalent. Mineralisation now reaches the Chelopech mine concession and remains open in several directions and at depth.

Parbo Resources has completed a $5 million IPO raise ahead of a proposed ASX listing, giving the pre-revenue explorer fresh funding for its Western Australian projects. Its FY2026 accounts show a $187,285 loss, $2.29 million in cash at year-end and $1.31 million in capitalised exploration assets.

EVT delivered growth across hotels, cinemas and Thredbo in FY2026 while outlining an approximately $500 million non-core property divestment programme. The group is also reviewing its structure as it redirects capital towards asset-light hotel expansion and considers potential special dividends.

The Colonial Motor Company (NZX:CMO) increased shareholder profit, lifted its annual dividend and sharply reduced borrowings and inventory in 2026. The New Zealand automotive group is entering a more difficult trading period, however, with price pressure, new-brand competition and a chair transition ahead.

Silver Mines is seeking A$70 million from investors while agreeing to spend A$26 million to remove two private royalties from its Bowdens Silver Project. The strategy could simplify Bowdens’ economics, but the royalty deals depend on securing at least A$50 million in placement commitments and meeting approval conditions.

Argent Minerals has reported its first laboratory assays from Trunkey Creek, with narrow but high-grade gold intersections beyond a void interpreted as historic underground workings. The results strengthen the case for deeper drilling, while leaving the size and continuity of the mineralisation unresolved.

Fitzroy River has agreed to sell its long-held Bowdens Silver royalty to Silver Mines for A$17.5 million, including A$7.5 million in Silver Mines shares. The company intends to return the net proceeds to shareholders, but completion remains conditional on funding and regulatory steps.

Nyrada has secured AU$12.0 million from institutional and sophisticated investors, with a further AU$2.0 million shareholder purchase plan planned, giving the biotech funding to advance its Xolatryp clinical programs. The raise also carries substantial dilution and an unusually large proposed director subscription worth AU$5.125 million, subject to shareholder approval.

Wildcat Resources has secured firm commitments for a A$60 million institutional placement to push Tabba Tabba into engineering, site establishment and construction readiness ahead of a definitive feasibility study targeted for later in 2026. The raise strengthens funding, but part of the share issue still requires shareholder approval and the financing does not establish a final investment decision.

EQT Holdings says the indicative takeover prices from TPG Global and BGH Capital do not reflect the value of Equity Trustees, but has opened the door to improved proposals. Both parties have confirmed their prices will not be reduced by EQT's 20-cent FY26 final dividend.
