Latest Strategy Changes News

Reach Resources has increased the Blue Heaven resource by 30% to 80,000 ounces while advancing a proposed profit-sharing mining arrangement with Andel Resources. The progress came alongside a sharply larger FY2026 loss and a balance sheet still dependent on future project execution.

Firetrail Alpha Plus Fund delivered a 19.05% pre-fee return in the year to 30 June 2026, more than tripling the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index’s 6.01% gain. Net assets almost doubled to $42.944 million as the fund added an ASX-listed unit class and expanded its investor base.

Tanami Gold has entered FY27 with funding in place for a 3,500-metre underground decline at Groundrush, after raising $70.5 million and reporting a 2.8 million ounce Central Tanami resource. The project remains in the study and resource-definition phase, with no Ore Reserve or production decision yet disclosed.

Plato Global Alpha Fund delivered a 26.7% net return for the year ended 30 June 2026, beating its global equity benchmark by 11.9 percentage points. Net assets climbed almost sixfold to $4.75 billion, driven by investment gains and substantial new applications, although the fund’s short positions and currency exposures remain material risks.

DeSoto Resources has assembled about 1,300 square kilometres of gold tenure in Guinea’s Siguiri Basin, but the expansion came with a A$15.0 million FY2026 loss and a A$6.35 million write-off of Northern Territory exploration assets. The company enters FY2027 with drilling, geophysics and tenure renewals still to convert its large portfolio into a defined resource.

Michael Hill International has returned to profit growth and restored its dividend after a year of sharper execution, brand simplification and stronger cash generation. Record revenue and a 57% rise in comparable EBIT mark a meaningful recovery, although the reset remains unfinished.

Biome Australia Limited (ASX:BIO) delivered its second consecutive profitable year in FY26, with revenue rising 30% to $23.9 million and operating cash flow turning positive. But the headline $3.6 million profit includes a $2.4 million deferred tax benefit, leaving FY27 execution as the real test of the company’s growth plan.

Latrobe Magnesium has secured A$8.5 million in equity funding to complete its Latrobe Valley demonstration plant and advance a proposed South Carolina magnesium project. The raising gives the company near-term funding certainty, but also brings further dilution and leaves the larger US development dependent on future capital.

Solstice Minerals has emerged from FY2026 with a larger exploration story, a A$45.3 million liquidity base and drilling that extends Nanadie beyond its existing resource footprint. The company remains loss-making and pre-production, leaving future value tied to resource growth and exploration execution.

AngloGold Ashanti has exercised early an option to acquire specified Lake Carey tenements from Matsa Resources for a fixed A$55 million, although most of the consideration remains conditional. The deal arrives as Matsa refinances existing debt, manages an operational review and remains suspended from trading.

Bounty Oil & Gas NL (ASX:BUY) is pursuing a 2,322 km² deepwater exploration block offshore Liberia, backed by a $3.55 million placement and major vendor-linked securities. The opportunity remains conditional: the block has no executed production sharing contract, no independent resource estimate and has not yet been reviewed directly by Bounty.

AML3D will contribute about A$530,000 to a three-year, A$3.89 million research project aimed at qualifying its Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing technology for aerospace tooling. The project carries no immediate revenue, but could open the door to future production contracts if qualification succeeds.
