Anson Resources has signed a non-binding MoU covering a potential five-year lithium carbonate offtake with Wogen and possible project financing support from Xcelsior. The proposed supply could reach 6,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent a year, but deliveries remain dependent on Green River being financed, permitted and built.

Sunshine Metals has upgraded the economics of its Liontown project, forecasting A$179.8 million in net operating cashflow after capital over a 66-month mine life. The study points to mid-2027 mining, but depends on approvals, Mt Moss commissioning and a preliminary plan carrying a plus or minus 30% accuracy range.

Catalyst Metals has converted the Cinnamon underground discovery into a maiden 232koz Ore Reserve, supporting a 7.5-year mine plan at the Plutonic Gold Belt. The deposit’s total Resource has grown 370% to 541koz, although part of the production target still relies on Inferred material.

Argosy Minerals says laboratory-scale crystallisation testing has demonstrated a potential lithium chloride product yield above 99% at its 12,000-tonne-per-year Rincon project in Argentina. The results remove a key process uncertainty, but the project still depends on engineering completion, financing and a broader Definitive Feasibility Study.

Ramelius Resources has lifted its FY30 production outlook to as much as 610,000 ounces while committing up to A$570 million of growth capital in FY27. The plan puts a larger Mt Magnet processing hub at the centre of the company’s expansion, but also raises the execution and cost stakes.

Lycopodium has secured a A$49.4 million EPCM contract to lead the preproduction delivery phase of Greatland Resources’ Havieron gold-copper project in Western Australia. Work has already begun under a limited notice of award issued in June.

WA1 Resources has ended FY26 with a larger, higher-confidence Luni niobium resource, encouraging processing results and A$123.8 million in cash. The project now moves towards a targeted Q4 CY2026 Pre-Feasibility Study, with permitting, funding and commercial viability still ahead.

MAAS Group has received FIRB approval for the sale of its construction materials division to Heidelberg Materials Australia, leaving shareholder approval and an Asphalt Operators acquisition as the key remaining conditions. Settlement remains targeted for October 2026, with transaction terms unchanged.

Bannerman Energy has opened a non-underwritten share purchase plan targeting approximately A$10 million to support construction and working capital at its Etango uranium project in Namibia. The offer gives eligible Australian and New Zealand shareholders access to the same A$4.00 issue price as the company’s A$124 million institutional placement.

Aurum Resources has identified high-grade gold outside the current Mineral Resource at its BMT2 prospect in Côte d'Ivoire, including 2.38 metres at 22.01 g/t gold. The results arrive as the company moves towards a Boundiali resource update and Definitive Feasibility Study later this year.

Tesoro Gold has established a maiden 1.28 million-ounce JORC Ore Reserve at Ternera in Chile, entirely within a single open pit. The reserve gives the El Zorro project a 13-plus-year production base, but the next test is funding and permitting a development still at PFS stage.

FireFly Metals has turned a year of aggressive drilling into a substantially larger, higher-confidence Green Bay resource, backed by an August PEA and fresh funding. The next test is execution: feasibility, permits, construction decisions and the capital required to build a mine.
