Latest D3 Energy (ASX:D3E) News

Exploration news drove the biggest share-price moves, while project funding remained the key test for developers across gold, copper, rare earths and energy. Strong drilling results lifted several small miners, but some early gains faded when investors focused on cash needs and the lack of formal reserves.

D3 Energy has lifted its combined 2C recoverable helium resource by 65% to 35.6 BCF while securing A$6.12 million in fresh capital. The annual report also shows the cost of advancing the portfolio, with the FY2026 loss widening to A$6.11 million and operating cash outflow reaching A$3.84 million.

D3 Energy has identified deeper water zones that are now sitting above the gas-bearing intervals in two Nooitgedacht wells, restricting gas flow in an extremely low-pressure reservoir. Remedial cementing is expected to begin next week, but restored flow and commercial results remain unconfirmed.

D3 Energy has successfully cased and cemented two wells at its Nooitgedacht project in South Africa, detecting gas in both despite challenging reservoir conditions. Testing awaits reservoir pressure normalization.

D3 Energy has overcome a brief weather-induced pause at its Nooitgedacht helium project in South Africa, with drilling operations set to restart and production testing planned shortly.

D3 Energy has successfully drilled and intersected gas in the first of two wells at its Nooitgedacht site in South Africa, with the second well underway. The results support expanding helium reserves and future production rights.

D3 Energy has expanded its helium resource base significantly in South Africa, certifying a maiden contingent resource at ER386 that boosts combined helium resources by 65%. The company also certified its first Australian prospective resource and started drilling at Nooitgedacht in ER315.

D3 Energy has begun drilling the first of two wells at its Nooitgedacht site in South Africa’s ER315 permit, aiming to boost helium reserves and support production right conversions.

Big project news kept landing across gold, rare earths and battery minerals, but many small-cap share prices still fell hard. The week belonged to a giant gold merger at the top end, while further down the board early excitement often gave way to selling.

D3 Energy has secured independent certification of maiden prospective resources for helium, hydrogen, and methane in its South Australian PEL121 permit, establishing a significant new critical gases footprint.

Gold stories drove the week, but the biggest jumps came from drill hits and project studies that gave investors a reason to chase smaller names. At the larger end, merger activity and fresh funding kept attention on producers that want to get bigger, faster.

D3 Energy has significantly boosted its helium resource estimates in South Africa's Free State with a newly certified 14 BCF helium contingent resource at ER386, lifting combined recoverable helium to 35.6 BCF across its key permits.
