Neuren has lifted its 2026 trofinetide income guidance to US$91 million-US$93 million after Acadia reported a 39% rise in Q3 DAYBUE sales and a US$35 million German launch milestone.

Aureka has secured a seven-year Prospecting Licence for its Comstock gold and silver project near St Arnaud, Victoria, creating a regulatory pathway to assess a return to mining at the historically disturbed site.

American West Metals has converted part of its Storm resource into a maiden 12.58Mt Ore Reserve and outlined an 11-year copper mine in Nunavut.
