Solstice Minerals has extended copper-gold mineralisation beyond Nanadie’s current resource boundary, while downhole electromagnetic surveying has identified a 140m by 140m conductor scheduled for immediate drilling. The results add momentum to a three-rig campaign, but the resource itself remains unchanged.

Prospect Resources has expanded drilling at Nyungu Central after returning a 27-metre copper intercept outside the existing resource, while maiden drilling at Sharamba confirms a new copper discovery. The results add momentum to Mumbezhi’s growth story, but most Phase 3 assays remain outstanding and no resource update has yet been made.

Vinyl Group grew FY26 revenue by 31% and nearly halved its net loss, but auditors flagged a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASX-listed media group is now relying on acquisition-led growth, higher margins and possible future funding to reach profitability.

Aruma Resources has extended shallow, broad copper-silver mineralisation at its Tillex Project in Ontario, with drilling pushing the high-grade footprint 100 metres southwest and 30 metres east. Further assays are pending from a program that is only about one-third complete.

Morella has established a maiden 5.44 million tonne Inferred resource at Mt Edon containing approximately 8,300 tonnes of rubidium oxide. The estimate gives the project scale, but commercial value still depends on recovery, purification and a viable product route.

Encounter Resources has reported its highest-grade niobium intersection yet at the Green Deposit, with drilling extending beyond the existing resource boundary. The result strengthens the case for further resource growth, but follow-up drilling is needed to establish continuity and true widths.

New Zealand King Salmon has raised its FY26 pro-forma EBITDA guidance to $36 million-$39 million, citing better fish performance and lower-than-expected mortality. Harvest volumes are unchanged, while higher feed and wellboat costs are expected to emerge in FY27.
