Albright Metals will surrender its Gabanintha mineral rights to Australian Vanadium in return for $1.75 million, a 0.75% royalty and a sharper focus on its Canadian flagship. The package includes $500,000 in cash and $1.25 million of Australian Vanadium shares, although the final share count is yet to be determined.

Orezone Gold has outlined a 14-year plan for its newly acquired Casa Berardi mine, targeting 1.63 million ounces of production and an after-tax NPV of US$1.05 billion. The economics are substantial, but the plan remains a preliminary assessment built partly on Inferred Resources and requires significant capital and permitting work.

Manhattan Gold has secured commitments for an A$4.5 million placement to fund more than 4,000 metres of drilling and related exploration at its Hook Lake project in Nunavut. The full raising remains partly conditional, with A$1.14 million requiring shareholder approval in November.

Benz Mining’s quarterly loss widened sharply as exploration spending surged at its Western Australian projects, but a subsequent C$148.02 million placement has given the company substantial funding to accelerate Glenburgh drilling. The project’s 10.1-12.0 million ounce Exploration Target remains conceptual rather than a Mineral Resource.

Stonehorse Energy has added 262 BOEPD from two new Alberta wells, lifting production from its Drumheller area above 500 BOEPD. Two further wells are online but still cleaning up, while the company plans more drilling before year-end.

BMC Minerals has moved the Kudz Ze Kayah project through a key regulatory gateway and reported high-grade drilling beyond the current reserve, but its first full year as an ASX-listed company also exposed the funding challenge ahead.

Viridis Mining and Minerals has selected Sedgman and Blossom as the preferred EPCM partner for its Colossus rare earths project, with up to US$3 million approved for work before a final investment decision. The full contract remains conditional, but engineering and procurement activity will begin immediately.

Activeport says revenue across Software, Network and Services is tracking above FY26 average levels in the opening quarter, while a completed restructure has cut annualised costs by $2 million.
