Vault Minerals has cleared another procedural hurdle in its proposed Genesis Minerals merger, with ASIC registering the scheme booklet ahead of the 11 November shareholder vote. Independent expert BDO says the deal is fair, reasonable and in shareholders’ best interests, provided no superior offer emerges.

Yowie Group’s FY26 loss narrowed sharply after cost reductions and a non-cash loan impairment reversal, but revenue fell 27% and operating cash flow turned deeply negative. The confectionery maker remains loss-making, has negative net assets and faces uncertainty over funding, supply and the return of its ASX quotation.

Ovanti has reported a A$23.61 million FY2026 loss, A$21.27 million in operating cash outflows and only A$291,867 in cash at year end. The ASX-listed fintech has abandoned BNPL globally, but says its continuing operations and proposed funding initiatives provide a basis to keep trading despite a material going-concern uncertainty.

Nuix has returned to statutory profit and generated substantially more cash in FY26, while its Nuix Neo platform became the main engine of growth. The annual report also flags a planned $5 million restructuring, an undisclosed insurance provision and unresolved litigation risks.

SKS Technologies has secured another $38 million of electrical infrastructure and fit-out work at Built’s MEL2 data centre in Melbourne, taking the project’s total value to $66 million. The award lifts SKS’s current work on hand to $270 million, although the announcement does not disclose margins or delivery timing.

EQ Resources has reported its second-highest quarterly production performance and record quarterly revenue, with cash on hand rising 192% to A$82.3 million. Both Barruecopardo and Mt Carbine increased output, although the update does not disclose operating costs or cash flow.

Power Minerals has extended high-grade rare earth oxide mineralisation 57 metres northwest at Brazil’s Morro do Ferro project, with drilling returning 119 metres at 4.94% TREO from surface. The result strengthens the exploration picture, but the deposit’s geometry, metallurgy and economic potential remain to be established.

The FDA says positive results from Neurizon’s HEALEY ALS trial could potentially support traditional approval of NUZ-001, with the study possibly serving as the sole registrational trial. The guidance is conditional, but gives the company a clearer regulatory route ahead of topline results expected in late Q2 2027.

KGL Resources has received the second US$16 million payment from Wheaton, completing the early deposit for its Jervois copper project. The company says the broader funding package, combined with its A$300 million equity raising, covers construction and the path into production, although the remaining Wheaton tranches are conditional.

Midas Minerals has reported strong copper-silver assays from deeper infill drilling at its T-13 deposit in Namibia, including 10 metres at 11.55% copper equivalent. The mineralised zone remains open to the west as the company accelerates drilling ahead of a resource update targeted for early 2027.

White Cliff Minerals has reported a 76.5-metre copper-silver intercept at Danvers 1, including a 4-metre zone grading 11.19% copper. Three deeper holes also intersected visible copper sulphides, but their grades remain unconfirmed pending assays.

dorsaVi has secured A$3.0 million to expand its movement-data business for humanoid robotics while advancing its neuromorphic and RRAM chip programs. The raise comes as its first RRAM-CMOS validation chip moves into proprietary memory integration at TSMC.

Macallum New Energy has lifted the arithmetic mean prospective gas resource across its EP 494 portfolio to 2,506 PJ after new 3D seismic and reprocessed 2D data sharpened several targets. The company is now seeking a joint venture partner for up to two exploration wells targeted for the second half of 2027.

iTech Minerals has extended the main Sabre gold-antimony shoot to approximately 270 metres below surface, with drilling returning 25 metres at 4.88 g/t gold and 0.85% antimony. A second shoot has also been identified 120 metres to the south, though assays remain incomplete and true widths are yet to be established.

L1 Global Long Short Fund has launched a non-underwritten one-for-two entitlement offer at A$1.76 a share, targeting up to A$482.7 million for new investments. The raising follows a 19.4% portfolio return since L1 Capital became manager and comes with the familiar risk that shareholders who do not participate could be diluted.

LGI Limited (ASX:LGI) is buying two operating Queensland solar farms for $22 million, adding 42MW of export capacity at a price below the company’s stated greenfield replacement cost. The transaction lifts LGI’s targeted medium-term renewable and dispatchable capacity pipeline beyond 120MW, although the projected earnings contribution depends on electricity prices, synergies and software integration.

Civmec has secured more than A$220 million in new contracts and extensions, including construction of Alcoa’s Wagerup gallium plant in Western Australia. The awards are scheduled for delivery across FY27 and FY28 and lift the order book to approximately A$1.5 billion.

Activeport has secured a stage-one contract worth more than A$1 million to deploy its network orchestration software across Microscan’s 1,800-kilometre pan-India fibre network. The agreement could expand recurring licence revenue, although the timing and scale of that contribution remain undisclosed.

Eden Innovations reported a sharp acceleration in US sales during Q1 FY27, led by a 247% jump in OptiBlend revenue and expanding EdenCrete plant installations. The figures are unaudited management results, but they give the company a stronger opening quarter for the new financial year.

Manhattan Gold’s first drilling at the Spectre VMS target has returned high-grade copper, gold, silver and zinc, including 6.10 metres at 3.18% copper. Mineralisation was repeated 77 metres along strike, but the early-stage results are reported as downhole lengths and do not yet establish true widths or a resource.

Sunshine Metals has extended gold mineralisation at its Sybil project in North Queensland, led by a 4-metre intersection grading 11.11g/t gold at Francis Creek. The company plans a further 2,600 metres of drilling from mid-October across existing and untested targets.

Barkly Rare Earths has reported rare earth mineralisation in 43 of 44 holes at its Northern Territory project, with high-grade intervals in 30 holes. The results strengthen the case for a larger resource, but more than 300 holes and further assays are still ahead before that potential can be tested.

DevEx has recorded uranium-equivalent intersections at Nabarlek North and mapped kilometre-scale alteration along the Nabarlek Fault Corridor. The results strengthen the company’s exploration pipeline, but laboratory assays and further drilling are still needed to establish the significance of the early readings.

Dreadnought Resources has reported a high-grade shallow gold intercept from a new discovery at Metzke’s North, including 1 metre at 57.1 g/t gold from just 8 metres. Further diamond assays could determine whether the results are enough to expand the 24,900-ounce Metzke’s resource and support mining studies.
