Antilles Gold’s significantly oversubscribed rights issue has expanded into a $3.45 million capital raising, giving the company additional funding while it seeks to lift US sanctions affecting its Cuban joint venture.

Hot Chili has reported broad, shallow copper-gold intersections at La Verde, including 188 metres at 0.56% CuEq and 240 metres at 0.43% CuEq. The results strengthen the geological case for a near-surface mining zone, but the discovery still has no Mineral Resource and 25 drillholes await assays.

TerraCom’s audited FY2026 results turned a previously reported A$45.6 million loss into a A$155.5 million statutory loss after A$103.5 million of non-cash impairments.
