Turaco Gold has reported high-grade gold extensions at Begnopan and Asupiri-Adiopan, including a 6-metre hit at 18.52g/t, as it prepares to update Afema’s 4.65Moz Mineral Resource. The results remain exploration data rather than a new resource or reserve, but several intersections sit beyond existing models and Ore Reserve boundaries.

GreenTech Metals has extended the tested Ayshia mineralised trend at Whundo by about 65 metres beyond its existing resource envelope, with drilling returning 4.76 metres at 7.13% copper plus zinc, gold and silver. The ASX-listed explorer enters the December quarter with more Whundo assays, a resource update and Munni Munni target testing still ahead.

QMines has doubled its Mt Chalmers drilling campaign to 20,000 metres while reporting $10.7 million in cash and a further $1.4 million in contracted receivables. The September quarter also delivered a higher Mount Mackenzie resource, fresh Botos drilling and a pipeline of assays that could shape the next resource update.

Venus Metals has completed a second 1,541-metre RC drilling program at Bellchambers after intersections including 20 metres at 2.72 g/t gold. The explorer ended September with $25.8 million in cash and Rox Resources shares, despite returning about $35 million to shareholders during the quarter.

Resolution Minerals has confirmed at least 500 metres of open-ended gold mineralisation at Golden Gate North in Idaho, with two new holes returning more than 320 metres of downhole gold-bearing intervals. The results strengthen the geological picture, but true widths, economic significance and the ultimate scale of the system remain unresolved.

Rio Tinto may spend up to A$46 million exploring LCL Resources’ Liamu project in Papua New Guinea for an eventual 80% stake. The initial programme will target undrilled gold-copper ground at Dada, while Rio Tinto weighs whether to advance the high-grade Ubei prospect.

Adveritas lifted annualised recurring revenue 47% to $17.9 million while building new customer channels through its SME platform, US partner Vaudit and ChatGPT ad-fraud detection. The growth story is developing alongside a sharp cash-burn warning, with the company reporting 0.82 quarters of funding before its post-quarter-end placement.

Janus Electric has signed a non-binding MOU with ConGlobal for a proposed 20-truck Class 8 conversion pilot in Texas. A successful pilot could open a pathway to conversion, battery-swapping and servicing operations across ConGlobal’s 31 US depots, although no binding orders or commercial terms have been agreed.

Eagers Automotive will acquire the remaining 20% of its BYD retail joint venture, with the transaction forecast to add 5.0% to 5.5% to pro-forma underlying earnings. The announcement leaves the cash price, share component and valuation undisclosed ahead of expected completion by 31 October.

Mayne Pharma’s unaudited first-quarter revenue fell 2% to A$95.7 million, while underlying EBITDA dropped 52% as generic competition hit Dermatology. Strong prescription growth in Women’s Health and DistributeRx offered a partial counterweight, alongside progress on key legal disputes.

Marmota has extended the high-grade Greenewood gold system north and to depth, with mineralisation now traced across more than 2km of strike. The latest assays include 8 metres at 11.5 grams per tonne gold, although the results are still based mainly on initial 4-metre composites and do not yet establish a mineral resource.

Stelar Metals has repositioned around the Hill of Leaders Tungsten Project after rock-chip assays reached 15.69% WO₃, but the discovery remains early-stage and the company is still loss-making. A subsequent A$2.628 million placement gives the explorer more room to test the system with maiden drilling.

Pureprofile has started FY27 with record quarterly revenue of $18.3 million and EBITDA of $2.4 million, while Platform revenue more than doubled. The ASX-listed data and insights company maintained its revenue guidance and lifted its EBITDA margin outlook to 11% to 12%.

Cadoux has extended WIM-style rare earth-zircon mineralisation onto its Wimmera joint venture ground, with Toolondo returning 20 metres at 0.86% in-situ zircon from just 8 metres. The result is promising but remains early-stage: rare earth chemistry is incomplete and no resource has been estimated.

Carnaby Resources shareholders supplied strong proxy backing for Evolution Mining’s proposed takeover, with 94.99% of proxy votes cast in favour. The final poll result was not included in the announcement, leaving Court approval as the next major hurdle if the scheme passes.

Artrya has converted its largest US customer and first SAPPHIRE Study participant into a five-year commercial agreement, while delaying its planned Coronary Flow FDA submission to strengthen clinical evidence. The Salix rollout is gaining traction, but revenue remains early and scan volumes are undisclosed.

Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt has completed its acquisition of Elevra Lithium’s rights in Atlantic Lithium’s Ghana portfolio, securing a 22.5% interest and assuming key project obligations. Huayou will sole-fund a further US$66 million of development costs to earn an additional 27.5% interest in Ewoyaa.

NH3 Clean Energy has expanded the potential market for its WAH2 clean ammonia project and completed key environmental surveys, but now expects to make its final investment decision in 2027 rather than 2026. The company ended September with A$4.404 million in cash after raising A$4 million from predominantly institutional investors.

Pure Foods Tasmania reported a sharper September quarter, with customer receipts rising to A$1.22 million while operating cash outflow fell to A$311,000. The company remains cash flow negative and reliant on financing capacity, but says the figures mark progress towards a sustainable turnaround.

Dubber reported $1.3 million of positive operating cash flow in Q1 FY27, alongside $7.7 million in revenue and $16.2 million of total liquidity. The company is now shifting from cost reduction towards growth, with new AI products and the proposed Daisee acquisition next in line.

EcoGraf has identified a potential 20% increase in Epanko’s Stage 1 production capacity, while contracted European offtake has doubled to 40,000 tonnes per annum. The company is advancing debt financing and downstream plans, but its higher-output case remains outside the current financing base case.

Cochlear has reaffirmed FY27 underlying net profit guidance of $330 million to $350 million after a disappointing FY26, while pointing to strong Nexa adoption and progress on fully implantable hearing technology. The company is cutting fixed costs and expanding medical referral pathways as it seeks to convert a large pool of untreated adult hearing loss into growth.

Metallium has signed a non-binding MOU with global commodity trader Traxys to explore feedstock, processing, offtake and financing opportunities for U.S. critical metals. The framework could improve the path to commercial scale, but it contains no binding volumes, prices, funding or sales commitments.

Brazilian Rare Earths has lifted Monte Alto’s Indicated ultra-high-grade resource by 41% to 3.54 million tonnes at 10.71% TREO, strengthening the geological base for mine planning. The company is now targeting a feasibility study for a staged concentrate-export operation by the end of 2026, although the updated resource is not yet an Ore Reserve or a new production forecast.
