Latest ABx (ASX:ABX) News

Gold names split cleanly this week: one stock rocketed on tangible production progress, while another cratered as selling overwhelmed a big plan. Critical minerals kept drawing attention, but several gap-ups didn’t hold once early buyers took profits.

ABx Group has secured partnerships in two major Australian Government R&D initiatives aimed at advancing rare earths refining and exploration technologies, accelerating development of its ionic clay rare earth project in Tasmania.

ABx Group has discovered new high-extraction ionic rare earth zones at its Deep Leads project in Tasmania, accelerating the path to production within months of approval. This breakthrough enhances the project's commercial viability with rare earths critical for green technologies.

One stock nearly doubled, another jumped more than 40%, and a finance heavyweight stayed elevated after a merger shock. In resources, the winners were mostly tied to “what was bought” or “what was funded”, while the laggards were often the ones where early optimism quickly turned into selling.

Fluorspar stole the week as OD6 ripped higher, while a fresh wave of trading halts and reopenings produced fast reversals. Rare earth processing deals, big funding packages and takeover timetables kept investors busy across small caps.

ABx Group’s maiden mixed rare earth carbonate from Tasmania’s Deep Leads resource has been confirmed radiologically safe by ANSTO, with a second, higher-grade sample expected soon. The development could open doors to key international customers and reduce regulatory complexities.

Speculative money piled into new discoveries and tight-supply metals, while a handful of small caps were sold hard on thin liquidity. The week’s biggest moves came from PGMs and tungsten on the way up, and micro-cap gas on the way down.

ABx Group Limited has reported significant progress across its rare earths, fluorine chemical, and bauxite mining projects, underpinned by a $6 million capital raise and promising metallurgical results.

A takeover premium blew the doors off the Materials board this week, while one discounted equity raise did the opposite. Uranium names kept climbing on real production progress, and rare earths stayed in favour as governments and buyers circle supply.

A takeover offer lit up small caps, while one high-growth software name slid hard despite strong sector news. Resources dominated the winners list, but investors still punished dilution and discounted fundraisings.

ABx Group has reported exceptional rare earth extraction rates exceeding 80% from column leach tests on bulk samples at its Deep Leads project, suggesting heap leaching could outperform traditional tank methods and accelerate commercial production.

ABx Group has extended its rare earth discovery in northern Tasmania with new scout drilling revealing high-grade mineralisation rich in critical heavy rare earths. Positioned near surface and aligned with Australia’s Critical Minerals Strategic Reserve, ABx’s findings could reshape supply chains for these vital elements.
