Magnum Mining has completed a 10,000-metre auger programme at its Piracanjuba North ionic adsorption clay rare earths project in Brazil, shifting its focus to a 32.5km² plateau zone. The company is targeting a maiden JORC 2012 Mineral Resource Estimate in November, but the project remains at an early exploration stage with no declared resource or reserve.

FFI Holdings lifted underlying pre-tax profit 6.8% to $4.62 million in FY2026, while food manufacturing delivered stronger earnings and operating cash flow rebounded sharply. The ASX-listed group now plans a $5.1 million factory and warehouse development in Cockburn, funded from existing resources.

Many Peaks Minerals has extended the tested vertical depth of gold mineralisation at its Ferké project by about 70%, with a deepest intercept returning 40.3 metres at 3.89g/t gold. The results support a planned resource update and preliminary assessment of underground mining, but remain exploration results outside the current resource.

Gold Hydrogen has advanced Ramsay drilling, testing and commercial studies, but its annual report carries a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The pre-revenue explorer ended FY2026 with $9.42 million in cash after spending heavily on exploration.

Advance Metals has recorded its strongest silver assay yet at the Gavilanes Project in Mexico, with drilling also returning the project’s highest-grade zinc-lead interval. The mineralised system remains open at depth and to the southwest, while metallurgical work and further drilling target a maiden JORC resource in the December quarter of 2026.

Waratah Minerals has reported its strongest drilling result to date at the Spur Gold Discovery, with a deep hole returning 46 metres at 7.27 g/t gold. The result extends the Consols Zone and supports four high-grade footwall domains, although the project remains at an early exploration stage.

Rox Resources is pitching Youanmi as a fully funded, near-term gold producer while outlining an ambition to lift output beyond 150,000 ounces a year. The mine’s initial plan remains materially smaller, with first gold targeted for mid-2027 and average production of about 117,000 ounces a year.

Adavale Resources has lifted its Parkes Project gold inventory to 383,300 ounces, led by a 228% increase at London-Victoria after an 85-hole drilling campaign. The company is now moving from resource definition towards metallurgical testing and a Scoping Study, although no production decision or project economics has been disclosed.

Broken Hill Gold has completed the transfer of its North Queensland exploration portfolio to Manda Resources, setting up a separate vehicle for the assets and a potential in-specie share distribution to BH6 holders. The company will now concentrate on White Dam in South Australia, although shareholder approval and the final Manda IPO structure are still pending.

M3 Mining reduced its FY2026 loss and more than doubled cash after a $2.25 million placement, while exploration work at Edjudina produced priority gold targets. The improvement comes with an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Anax Metals has moved its Whim Creek copper-zinc project closer to a targeted investment decision, backed by strong feasibility economics and new drilling. But the annual report makes clear that development still depends on securing further funding, with the auditor warning of a material uncertainty over going concern.

Bellevue Gold delivered record FY26 production and free cash flow while cutting its hedge book by more than half. The next test is whether higher FY27 output and greater spot-price exposure can convert operational progress into materially stronger cash generation.

Capstone Copper will sell its Cozamin copper-silver-zinc-lead mine in Mexico to Luca Mining for up to US$385 million, including US$275 million in upfront cash. The proposed divestment is designed to strengthen Capstone’s balance sheet and redirect capital towards its growth pipeline.

Platina Resources has reshaped itself around a 312 square kilometre gold portfolio in Western Australia’s Laverton district, backed by $8.61 million in cash. The FY2026 annual report shows stronger exploration momentum, but the company remains loss-making and dependent on turning targets into discoveries.
