Speculative growth names and biotech drove the biggest gains this week, while one consumer staple copped the heaviest selling after cutting guidance. Deal flow stayed busy, but investors were even more responsive to hard numbers: profit upgrades, feasibility studies, contract wins and fresh drilling results.

Drilling wins, funding deals and takeover activity drove a busy week in materials stocks. Big moves came from early-stage explorers, while larger producers won support with cash flow, mine life and deal-making.

Genesis Minerals is set to acquire Magnetic Resources for approximately A$639 million, offering Magnetic shareholders a 25-35% premium. The deal unlocks synergies at the Lady Julie Gold Project, where an updated underground production target extends mine life to 14-19 years with improved economics.

Micro-caps stole the spotlight, led by a boardroom reset at Killi and a blockbuster cancer update from Amplia. Energy explorers and a few big raisings moved the other way, as traders sold hard into fresh dilution and weak price action.

Magnetic Resource NL has updated its scoping study for the Lady Julie Gold Project, significantly increasing the underground production target and extending the mine life. The revised plan also lowers underground mining costs and defers some capital expenditure by prioritising open pit operations.
