Latest St George Mining (ASX:SGQ) News

St George Mining’s Araxá project now boasts a 111.2Mt rare earths resource after a major post-year-end upgrade, alongside 630,000 tonnes of contained niobium. The 2026 annual report shows a company moving rapidly towards development, but still without an ore reserve, mine design or production decision.

Exploration results, project funding and takeover activity drove another busy week across Australia’s materials market.
Investors rewarded new production plans and strong drill results, but several small-cap gaps quickly lost ground.

St George Mining has launched a pilot plant beneficiation study at its Araxá Project in Brazil, aiming to refine niobium and rare earth recovery ahead of commissioning its own processing facility in early 2027.

Small-cap resources led the week, with Discovery Alaska rising 90% as it bought a Western Australian gold project. Gold, copper and critical minerals companies also drew strong buying. Large energy names posted solid results, but several shares fell as investors weighed capital needs, project delays and weaker forward guidance.

St George Mining has formally begun environmental permitting for its Araxá Project in Brazil, submitting key assessments to Minas Gerais regulators as it moves toward developing a rare earths and niobium mine.

Small explorers led the ASX week, with Lachlan Star, EcoGraf and Basin Energy recording the biggest gains on new drilling, offtake and exploration news.
Takeovers, capital raisings and strong company results also drew attention, although several large stocks fell despite reporting better earnings.

Small-cap materials shares produced some of the market’s biggest moves, led by a dramatic rise in Accent Resources and strong gains in gold and critical metals explorers.
Investors also weighed new project funding, drilling results, acquisitions and several steep falls after opening price gaps.

St George Mining has delivered a major upgrade to its Araxá Project in Brazil, increasing measured and indicated resources by 155% and confirming the world's largest undeveloped niobium resource alongside rare earths.

Small-cap shares produced the week’s biggest moves, led by Xenitra’s 60% surge and Carnaby Resources’ takeover jump.
Mining news dominated, but sharp falls in Lotus Resources and several funded developers showed that new capital can still unsettle investors.

Carnaby led the market after Evolution Mining agreed to a A$213 million takeover. Coal and lithium names fell despite major production and funding news.
Across materials, investors rewarded deals and cash flow, but punished large capital needs and weak price follow-through.

St George Mining bolsters its Araxá niobium and rare earths project with a $60 million capital raise, appoints Worley as technical adviser, and reports strong metallurgical test results underpinning its dual commodity strategy.

St George Mining has delivered its most impressive drill results yet at the Araxá Rare Earths and Niobium Project, revealing a new record intercept of 207 metres of continuous high-grade mineralisation from surface. These findings bolster the case for a straightforward open-pit operation and reinforce Araxá’s status as South America’s largest, highest-grade carbonatite-hosted rare earth resource.
