Latest Tivan (ASX:TVN) News

Tivan Limited has added Major Michael Stone (Retd) to its Technical Advisory Group, leveraging his 25 years of Timor-Leste expertise to boost local engagement and strategic guidance for its copper-gold projects. This move bolsters Tivan’s in-country capabilities as it advances its Turiscai, Baucau, and Ossu exploration portfolio.

Speculative resources names drove the biggest moves this week, with Patriot Resources, Brazilian Critical Minerals and Rent.com.au leading the gainers. At the other end, Qoria, SQX Resources and 4DMedical fell hard as capital raisings, weak follow-through and post-gap selling hit sentiment.

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.

Tivan Limited has delivered a pivotal feasibility study for its Speewah Fluorite Project, secured tranche funding totalling $16.3 million, and gained recognition from Japan and US governments as a key fluorite supplier. Concurrently, it expanded its portfolio with acquisitions and high-grade discoveries across tungsten and copper-gold projects.

Tivan Limited has confirmed its Speewah Fluorite Project can produce premium acidgrade fluorspar suitable for hydrofluoric acid, backed by positive technical assessments from Asian end-users. The company is advancing pilot production and finalising offtake agreements with Sumitomo Corporation and JOGMEC.

Tivan and Sumitomo Corporation have extended their Memorandum of Understanding for the Molyhil Tungsten Project to June 2026, allowing Tivan to complete a Scoping Study and progress joint venture negotiations. Drilling has commenced to expand the resource base, with product marketing underway targeting Q3 2026 delivery.

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.

Tivan Limited has reported significant high-grade copper, gold, and cobalt assay results from surface sampling at its Baucau and Ossu Projects in Timor-Leste, reinforcing the projects’ exploration potential and setting the stage for expanded field activities.

Tivan Limited has initiated its 2026 exploration drilling program in central Australia targeting tungsten and fluorite mineralisation at the Molyhil and Sandover projects following regulatory and cultural heritage clearances.

Japan Fluorite Corporation has completed its second $5 million tranche investment in the Speewah Fluorite Project, advancing the feasibility study for Australia's first acidgrade fluorspar operation.

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.
