Credit Corp has reaffirmed its FY2027 earnings outlook, with the HSBC credit card run-off portfolio expected to help lift investment to a record level. Stronger US collections and continued consumer lending growth are providing additional support, although the final HSBC consideration remains unresolved.

Rhythm Biosciences has widened access to its ColoSTAT blood test, lifted quarterly revenue 64% and advanced reimbursement and NHS evaluation work. The progress sits alongside A$1.803 million in cash and an estimated 1.22 quarters of funding at the current operating burn.

Sandfire Resources has extended high-grade polymetallic sulphide mineralisation at its La Juliana prospect in Spain, with drilling confirming 160 metres of strike and electromagnetic surveys indicating potential for at least 350 metres. The exploration result arrived alongside a steady first-quarter operating performance, with FY27 guidance retained.

icetana AI returned to revenue growth in FY26, with sales up 31% to $2.47 million and annual recurring revenue reaching $2.6 million. The company remains loss-making, but entered FY27 with stronger recurring revenue, new distribution channels and $4.79 million in cash.

Brazilian Critical Minerals has moved its Ema rare earth project into FEED, raised approximately A$10 million and advanced the final land-access step for environmental licensing. Its proposed acquisition of a Brazilian magnesium sulphate plant could cover half of Ema’s early reagent needs, but remains subject to approvals, restructuring and plant modifications.

Gulf Stream Energy has assigned maiden Contingent Resources to two oil sands at its Zydeco-1 well in Louisiana and prepared a workover plan to test Homeseeker B. The opportunity remains unproven: the well has not flowed, no reserves have been booked and the deeper Tweedel gas target is still undrilled.

Latitude 66 ended September with A$4.647 million in cash after asset disposals supplied most of the quarter’s funding, while exploration spending and KSB development work move into a more active phase. The company now has a 2,500-metre Finnish drilling program underway, but no financing facilities available.

Avenira’s approximately $48.9 million rights issue has received more than $44 million in applications and funds ahead of its 30 October close. The raise, combined with $85 million in debt facilities, is intended to fund the Wonarah Project’s direct shipping ore phase.

LinQ Minerals has identified more than 429 metres of visually mineralised core at a new target south of Gidginbung, although laboratory assays are still pending. The ASX-listed explorer also reported broad copper-gold results at Monza, fresh gold hits at Gidginbung and A$14.4 million in cash to fund its next drilling phase.

Cedar Woods has reaffirmed its target for approximately 15% growth in FY27 net profit after tax, backed by more than $763 million in presales and 311 quarterly settlements. But gross sales fell 57% from a year earlier, putting greater emphasis on the company’s planned Q2 marketing push and new stage releases.

Perseus Mining delivered 92,551 ounces in the September quarter, exceeding its Q1 FY27 production plan while retaining full-year guidance. The bigger catalyst is Nyanzaga, now 88.4% complete and still targeting first gold in January 2027, as the company expands shareholder returns.

Hamelin Gold has reported an ultra-high-grade 2-metre interval grading 101.5 g/t gold from its Phase 2 drilling at Day Dawn, alongside extensions to the Aurora and Altus lodes. Further RC assays and diamond drilling results could provide the next test of how continuous and extensive the system is.

Platina Resources has confirmed a broad, shallow gold system at Sunrise Bore, with only about 200 metres of a 1.2km mineralised trend tested so far. The ASX-listed explorer ended September with A$10.746 million in cash after completing the US$14 million sale of its Owendale scandium project.

St Barbara is positioning itself as a debt-free Nova Scotia gold developer after agreeing to sell its remaining New Simberi interest to Lingbao for A$453 million in cash and capital repayments. The deal could fund a larger 15-Mile project while leaving shareholders with a possible special dividend and buy-back, but completion and distributions remain conditional.

New Frontier Minerals has strengthened its exploration case at Mt Storm, where surface samples returned up to 6.88% copper, while advancing targets at Eldorado and Harts Range. The sharper investor question is funding: the company ended September with 1.9 quarters of estimated cash coverage and is monitoring options to raise capital.

Argosy Minerals has upgraded the JORC mineral resource at its Rincon Lithium Project to 790,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent, with 600,000 tonnes classified as Indicated. A separate conceptual Exploration Target of up to 1.03 million tonnes has been identified below the resource, adding potential upside ahead of further drilling and the project’s Definitive Feasibility Study.

Elevra Lithium delivered record mining volumes and US$74 million in North American Lithium revenue during the September quarter, while unit costs fell and cash increased to US$319 million. The company has now moved its NAL expansion into execution, but six recordable injuries and unsettled shipment pricing add important caveats to an otherwise strong operational update.
