Wildcat Resources has secured firm commitments for a A$60 million institutional placement to push Tabba Tabba into engineering, site establishment and construction readiness ahead of a definitive feasibility study targeted for later in 2026. The raise strengthens funding, but part of the share issue still requires shareholder approval and the financing does not establish a final investment decision.

EQT Holdings says the indicative takeover prices from TPG Global and BGH Capital do not reflect the value of Equity Trustees, but has opened the door to improved proposals. Both parties have confirmed their prices will not be reduced by EQT's 20-cent FY26 final dividend.

Saturn Metals has extended the Apollo Hill gold system up to 1km north of its existing 2.83Moz Mineral Resource, with several high-grade intersections among the latest results. A 50-hole, 10,000m RC program is now underway to test continuity and support a planned resource update.

Helloworld Travel has agreed to acquire Crown Currency Exchange for $135 million, adding 68 Australian stores and an FY26 underlying EBITDA stream of $22 million. The transaction expands Helloworld’s retail footprint but will also introduce a mix of NAB debt, vendor financing and a share placement.

Antimony Resources has begun trading under the ANT code as its Tecomatlán processing plant in Mexico moves closer to its first processing campaign. About 200 tonnes of mineralised material has been prepared, but assay results and commissioning outcomes are still to come.

IVE Group has agreed to acquire digital place-based media operator Motio for approximately $20.7 million, adding more than 1,300 screens to its marketing platform. The transaction is expected to be earnings and EPS accretive, but remains subject to shareholder, Court and other conditions.

CMS has finalised higher Medicare inpatient reimbursement for EBR Systems’ WiSE System, lifting base payment rates by up to 93% from 1 October 2026. The change improves the commercial payment pathway, although its financial impact will depend on procedure volumes, hospital adoption and NTAP eligibility.

Motio has agreed to a recommended all-cash scheme with IVE Group that values each share at 6 cents, a premium to recent trading levels. Completion remains subject to shareholder, optionholder and Court approvals, an Independent Expert’s report and other conditions.

Enterprise Metals has secured $1.2 million in discounted equity funding alongside a proposed board overhaul led by mining executives Phillip Gallagher and Steven Zaninovich. The incoming team will review the company’s Western Australian portfolio and decide where its limited exploration capital should go next.

Waterco Limited (ASX:WAT) delivered record FY26 EBIT of $23.8 million and lifted net profit after tax 59.6% to $15.4 million, despite only modest revenue growth. The stronger result supports a higher fully franked dividend, but the group is carrying more debt and inventory as it expands manufacturing capacity.

Iltani Resources has reported some of its strongest Orient West drilling results, including a 2-metre intercept grading 2,561 g/t silver equivalent. The company says the latest 16 holes support continuity and could underpin an expanded Mineral Resource later this year.

BOA Resources has returned high-grade copper intersections from all six initial RC holes at Ricci Lee, including 14 metres at 2.49% copper and 15 metres at 2.25%. Assays from 40 further RC holes and 92 aircore holes across five other prospects remain pending.

VHM's refreshed feasibility study projects an A$807 million pre-tax NPV for its Goschen rare earths and mineral sands project, with approvals and major procurement work substantially advanced. The project still needs financing, lender due diligence and a Final Investment Decision before construction can begin.

Tolu Minerals has more than doubled its reported gold resources to 1.33 million ounces after declaring a maiden 293,000-ounce resource at Mt Penck in Papua New Guinea. The project also carries a largely untested copper-gold porphyry target, but its proposed A$30 million exploration program still requires separate funding.

Lightning Minerals says reconnaissance sampling has expanded the Warby Project’s interpreted tungsten system well beyond its World War I-era workings, with rock chips grading up to 5.5% tungsten. The company has fast-tracked further soil sampling to define the anomalies before selecting maiden drill targets.

Dateline Resources has filed a US court motion seeking to suspend the injunction blocking work at its Colosseum Gold and Rare Earth Project in California. The application opens a route towards resumed operations, but does not itself lift the court order.

White Cliff Minerals has reported broad, bornite-dominant mineralisation in the first-ever drilling at Bornite Hills, but laboratory assays are still weeks away. The discovery adds a new target to the Rae Copper Project, alongside a sediment-hosted copper horizon now traced across a much larger area.

Larvotto Resources has produced its first gold and antimony concentrate at the Hillgrove Mine in New South Wales, moving the project from plant commissioning towards a production ramp-up. The milestone comes with binding offtake agreements already in place with Wogen Resources and Glencore International AG.

Sunshine Metals has upgraded the economics of its Liontown project, forecasting A$179.8 million in net operating cashflow after capital over a 66-month mine life. The study points to mid-2027 mining, but depends on approvals, Mt Moss commissioning and a preliminary plan carrying a plus or minus 30% accuracy range.

Telix will acquire ITM in a proposed US$1.65 billion deal that combines a commercial radioisotope supplier with Telix’s precision medicine and therapeutic pipeline. The transaction could give Telix greater supply-chain control and entry into a validated cancer treatment market, but it also brings dilution, integration risk and an unresolved FDA pathway for ITM-11.

Bellevue Gold will spend A$25-30 million on FY27 exploration after its Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve declined year on year, while a slower Barminco ramp-up is expected to cut September-quarter production by 3,000-4,000 ounces. High-grade Deacon North drilling and deeper targets offer a possible longer-term counterweight.

Catalyst Metals has converted the Cinnamon underground discovery into a maiden 232koz Ore Reserve, supporting a 7.5-year mine plan at the Plutonic Gold Belt. The deposit’s total Resource has grown 370% to 541koz, although part of the production target still relies on Inferred material.

AuKing Mining has reported a 50-metre interval grading 2.03% TREO from surface at its Tundulu rare earths project in Malawi. The result, from drilling about 400 metres west of earlier holes, supports a broader near-surface mineralised footprint but remains exploration-stage evidence.

New assays from Sinclair Gold’s Mt Henry project extend mineralisation beyond the current 1.8Moz resource at both Mt Henry and Selene. Five rigs are continuing step-out drilling, with 33 holes outside the resource footprint still awaiting assays.
