Latest Approvals News

Firebrick Pharma has approved a phased push into US retail pharmacies after Nasodine online sales grew by more than 200% in FY26. Up to six regional pharmacy groups representing about 700 stores have expressed strong interest in early orders, although no binding orders have been disclosed.

Structural Monitoring Systems (ASX:SMN) delivered record FY26 revenue, a sharp lift in profit and $6.0 million of free cash flow as its avionics business outpaced contract manufacturing. The balance sheet is now free of bank debt, but the next leg of the story still depends on FAA approvals and converting CVM technology into commercial revenue.

Carnarvon Energy has expanded its Bedout prospective resource inventory by 92% and secured a rig for a 2027 exploration campaign, but Dorado remains stalled before FEED and FID. The company ended FY26 with A$97.7 million in cash, no debt and a A$4.2 million after-tax loss.

Singular Health has signed a non-binding MOU to build and operate a medical imaging repository for Florida Medicaid, with approximately A$3.5 million of potential revenue subject to definitive agreements and delivery. The project could give its 3DICOM platform a state-funded infrastructure reference site, but recurring funding remains unassured.

Navigator Global Investments expects to receive USD40-43 million upfront after New York Life Investment Management agrees to acquire 60% of Invictus Capital Partners. The deal crystallises value from NGI’s 2022 investment while leaving shareholders exposed to earn-outs, distributions and a second sale in 2031.

Ballard Mining has expanded the Mt Ida Gold Project’s global Mineral Resource Estimate by 56% to 1.836 million ounces, while securing the approvals and cash runway needed to advance development studies. The pre-production company is now targeting a maiden Ore Reserve, feasibility study and Final Investment Decision in the first half of calendar 2027.

Pantoro has increased Norseman’s Mineral Resources by 2% and Ore Reserves by 9% after mining depletion, with the Mainfield delivering the clearest growth. The company also reported a $113.2 million FY2026 profit, but the next test is converting a larger geological inventory into sustained production.

Alliance Nickel has approved a second phase of vat leach testing after preliminary NiWest results supported continued evaluation of the alternative processing route. The potential prize is substantial, but quantified recoveries and capital savings remain unproven.

Tungsten Mining says non-binding debt proposals could fund up to 70% of its Watershed project, equivalent to about A$200 million against estimated pre-production capital of A$274 million. The financing remains uncommitted, with strategic investment, offtake and government-backed options still in play.

Heartland Group Holdings (NZX: HGH, ASX: HGH) more than doubled FY2026 net profit as margins widened, asset quality improved and its proposed TSB merger moved towards a shareholder vote. The bank also reported a 16% fall in restated emissions, though much of its climate-risk work remains incomplete or estimate-driven.

The Supreme Court of New South Wales has approved the shareholder meeting for I Squared Capital’s proposed acquisition of oOh!media at $1.68 per share. An independent expert says the offer falls within its assessed valuation range, but shareholders must still approve the scheme before completion.

Asara Resources has emerged from FY2026 with a substantially larger Kada gold resource, strong cash backing and a more concentrated Guinea strategy. The headline resource update came after year-end and remains a Mineral Resource, not an Ore Reserve or economic mine plan.
