An independent transport study has found Alurion Resources’ Amargosa bauxite project can use established road routes for assessed haulage volumes up to 11.5 wet million tonnes a year, twice its Scoping Study base case. The result gives the project’s pre-feasibility study a firmer logistics foundation, although it does not establish a larger production target or guarantee port access.

Activeport has secured a stage-one contract worth more than A$1 million to deploy its network orchestration software across Microscan’s 1,800-kilometre pan-India fibre network. The agreement could expand recurring licence revenue, although the timing and scale of that contribution remain undisclosed.

Antares Metals has agreed to earn a 90% interest in the historic Enterprise gold mine in Western Australia, adding a fourth priority target to its Quinns project. The company has expanded its air core program to 2,500 metres, but the transaction remains subject to expenditure, approvals and historical-data caveats.

IODM has secured the first 15 university commitments in its planned 283-university US rollout, while revenue rose 10.2% despite a sharp fall in UK international student visa applications. The onboarding is not yet revenue, but the December-quarter target gives investors a clear execution test.

Kalgoorlie Gold Mining has identified multiple coherent gold-in-regolith anomalies across the first 225-hole aircore test of its LTZ Flexure target at Pinjin. The strongest exploration signal stretches up to 2km, but primary gold mineralisation at depth remains unconfirmed.

Locality Planning Energy has signed three utility infrastructure agreements that will add approximately 750 electricity and water service points across Victoria and Queensland. The expansion requires about $1.28 million of LPE-funded investment, but revenue will build only as homes, connections and retail tenancies come online.

Centaurus Metals has signed the contract securing initial 20MW of 230kV grid power for its Jaguar nickel project in Brazil. The infrastructure milestone removes one development hurdle, while funding negotiations and final connection approvals remain outstanding.

Steadfast Group has disclosed a notice from Pentwater Capital Management concerning equity derivatives under Takeovers Panel guidance. The filing does not reveal the position’s size, direction, counterparties or economic exposure, leaving its significance unresolved.

Stakk has executed a five-year US$9 million agreement with US banking technology provider Candescent, with its AI-powered cheque and document intelligence already deployed. The contract commits approximately US$1.8 million in annual revenue through 2030 and is expected to contribute above Stakk’s FY2027 revenue milestone.

Felix Group Holdings has opened a non-underwritten share purchase plan seeking up to A$1 million from eligible Australian and New Zealand shareholders at A$0.038 per share. The offer gives investors access to the same price paid under the institutional placement, but leaves the final amount raised and any scale-back uncertain.

Sigma Lithium has temporarily halted all mining and industrial production at its Grota do Cirilo operation in Brazil while awaiting a Federal Court of Appeals ruling over an environmental dispute involving Quilombola community rights. The company is maintaining its FY2027 production target of 330,000 tonnes, but has delayed its 240,000-tonne 12-month guidance by three months.

BSA is proposing to acquire aerial infrastructure technology business Eonetics in a largely scrip-based transaction that would leave the sellers with about 39.9% of BSA. The deal remains non-binding, with one seller yet to sign and multiple approvals still required.
