Infinity Metals has cut the equity consideration for its Tule Canyon acquisition option by A$10,000, reducing the maximum issue from 10 million to 9 million shares. The revised terms are designed to keep the related-party transaction below the ASX threshold requiring shareholder approval and an independent expert report.

The Supreme Court of Western Australia has approved Central Asia Metals’ scheme to acquire 100% of Cygnus Metals, moving the transaction into its final procedural phase. Cygnus expects the scheme to become effective on 15 October, with implementation scheduled for 27 October.

Maronan Metals has added a new AGM resolution seeking approval for a $20 million placement to fund drilling, feasibility work and permitting at its Maronan Project. The issue would also allow Kinterra Fund II to lift its voting power to approximately 22.99%.

Norwest Minerals has strengthened the technical case for its Bulgera heap-leach project, but its annual report highlights a sharper near-term constraint: just A$394,541 in cash at 30 June and material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company subsequently raised about A$1.89 million through an entitlement offer.

Australian Dairy Nutritionals reported a 54% year-on-year revenue fall in the September quarter and held just A$513,000 in cash against a A$619,000 operating cash outflow. The infant formula group is pursuing a A$500,000 placement and a broader capital raise as it waits for China distribution growth and Vietnam sales to rebuild momentum.

Bougainville Copper’s half-year loss widened to K13.4 million as operating cash outflows accelerated and a one-off partner termination fee added to costs. The company also faces continuing uncertainty over its rights to the Panguna mine after its exploration licence was subordinated to a new 25-year mining lease.

GenusPlus has won approximately $255 million of power infrastructure work from Western Power and Fortescue, extending its project pipeline into 2029. The awards span renewable energy connections, network maintenance and mine-site decarbonisation infrastructure, although individual contract values and margins remain undisclosed.

Integrated Research’s FY26 annual report confirms a sharp earnings deterioration, with revenue down 16% and net profit collapsing to A$1.2 million. A stronger cash balance and new AI products offer financial resilience, but FY27 now hinges on turning product launches into commercial adoption.

Otto Energy has strengthened its balance sheet and lifted FY2026 profit despite falling production, setting up a proposed A$20 million return of capital. The catch is that reserves are declining, asset-sale plans remain unresolved and part of the cash remains tied to offshore obligations.

Plato Income Maximiser matched its benchmark with a 7.2% portfolio return in FY26 while maintaining its highest monthly dividend rate since listing. Profit after tax fell to A$41.8 million as investment gains dropped sharply from the prior year.

The delivery satisfies a condition for an initial payment, while the company prepares its first gold concentrate shipment.

Spheria Emerging Companies reported a sharp fall in FY2026 profit after tax after its portfolio returned just 0.3%, well behind the 8.1% benchmark. Monthly fully franked dividends continue and the listed investment company avoided a conversion vote after trading at a premium to NTA.

Javelin Minerals has advanced its proposed all-scrip takeover by FirstAU while securing Eureka’s final mining approval and reporting further gold intersections. The deal offers a broader exploration portfolio, but the loss of Eureka’s processing pathway and a cash runway of about 2.57 quarters remain material constraints.

Locality Planning Energy has returned to statutory profit and sharply reduced borrowings, but its next test is converting a large contracted pipeline into active service points. The company has given no numerical FY2027 guidance and is operating under an interim leadership structure while it searches for a permanent CEO.

Energy Fuels has amended its proposed acquisition of VAC after a customer dispute escalated into arbitration and lender forbearance at VAC’s US magnet plant. The filing also reveals VAC’s six-month net loss of €57.4 million, substantial debt and reliance on shareholder support ahead of the proposed transaction.

Orora says strong Cans growth is no longer enough to offset weaker Saverglass earnings, with Group EBIT expected to decline in FY27. The company is targeting more than €30 million in Glass EBIT improvement by FY30 after a €449.7 million non-cash impairment.

Qualitas delivered record deployment and stronger earnings in FY26, while raising its dividend and entering Europe through the Starz Real Estate acquisition. The alternative investment manager is guiding to normalised NPBT of $74 million to $80 million for FY27, subject to market conditions.

Delorean is repositioning itself from an engineering contractor into an owner and operator of renewable gas infrastructure, with five projects representing $214 million of stated total capital expenditure. The near-term test is whether it can close funding for NSW1 while bringing its largely completed Salisbury plant into revenue.

Biotron has appointed Glenn Gilbert as chief executive and executive director, bringing more than two decades of pharmaceutical, medical device and diagnostics experience to the company’s SedRx and antiviral programs. His package combines a $250,000 salary with up to 100 million performance-based options and $230,000 in milestone-linked cash bonuses.

Podium Minerals has improved flotation recovery at its Parks Reef PGM project to 67% while maintaining overall concentrator recovery near 80%, with a smaller targeted downstream circuit. The September quarter also delivered the full A$4 million underwritten raising and a proposed Australia-US processing partnership, though both the flowsheet and funding pathway still require further validation.

Grange Resources has approved a lower-capital underground development at Savage River, targeting a 43% project IRR and production continuity to at least 2035. The Sub-Level Cave plan is designed to be funded from existing cash and operating cashflow while preserving the option of a larger Block Cave mine.

Euroz Hartleys says several conditions for its A$145 million sale of the Capital Markets business to BMO have now been satisfied, leaving shareholder approval and Canadian Bank Act approval among the key remaining gates. Completion remains on track for the December quarter.

ReNerve has received supportive FDA feedback on the preclinical and testing pathway for its NervAlign Nerve Guide Matrix. The guidance sharpens the route towards a US submission, but does not amount to clearance and leaves the submission timetable open.
