Northern Star has unanimously rejected Gold Fields' unsolicited takeover proposal, saying its mixed cash-and-scrip offer undervalued the company and arrived ahead of important operational milestones.

Mt Malcolm Mines has moved closer to an integrated gold development model, combining a maiden 13,200-ounce resource with ownership of major 500,000-tonne-per-year processing plant components. The shift came with a $1.639 million loss, $1.445 million of operating cash outflows and a warning that further working capital is likely to be required within 12 months.

Prairie Lithium has moved its Saskatchewan project closer to commissioning, with Pad #1 construction advancing and Hydro Lithium agreeing to buy all Phase 1 output. The progress came alongside a A$3.46 million FY2026 loss, further equity issuance and a year-end cash balance of A$5.85 million.

Latrobe Magnesium has moved its demonstration plant into the final installation stage for magnesium metal, but its annual report flags a material uncertainty over whether the loss-making group can continue as a going concern.

Lion Rock Minerals has reported high-grade rutile and rare-earth results from its 80%-owned Minta project in Cameroon, including up to 4.54% TREO over 2.3 metres.

The Australian Wealth Advisors Group Ltd (ASX:WAG) has replaced its unaudited FY2026 result with audited accounts showing $1.21 million in profit before tax and $889,469 after tax.
