Latest Fortescue (ASX:FMG) News

Silver, rare earths and select critical minerals led this week’s winners, while lithium names and several larger producers slipped despite busy news flow. Big resource upgrades, fresh funding and cleaner processing routes drew buyers, but many early gaps failed to hold.

Fortescue Ltd has greenlit a US$680 million expansion of its Pilbara renewable energy infrastructure, aiming to deliver 200MW of additional capacity by 2028 to meet rising industrial and data centre demand while advancing its Real Zero by 2030 emissions target.

Rare earths, lithium and antimony stocks drove the week, while a handful of capital raisings and profit warnings hit hard. The biggest gains came from drilling wins and deal news. The sharpest falls came where investors faced dilution, weaker earnings or takeover friction.

Critical minerals and gold explorers drove the biggest moves, with OD6 Metals, Jindalee Lithium and Resolution Minerals leading the weekly board. Investors chased drill hits, fresh funding and deal news, while stocks that reopened after trading halts split between sustained buying and quick give-backs.
