Latest Contract Awards News

Finder Energy has extended the Kuda Tasi and Jahal project’s Final Investment Decision deadline to 30 November, after widening its international EPCI tender process. The company says debt financing is nearing its final stages, but the delay adds another checkpoint before its late-2027 drilling target.

Parkway Corporate Limited (ASX:PWN) delivered a sharp revenue increase in FY26 and generated positive operating cash flow, but slipped into a statutory loss and flagged significant uncertainty around its ability to continue as a going concern. Key approvals for its Queensland brine project and a new $2 million mining contract offer commercial progress, while funding remains the central test.

Avenira has pushed its first Wonarah phosphate shipment target into the first half of 2027, while its auditor warned that funding remains critical to the company’s survival. The annual report records project progress, but also a $3.34 million loss, $759,415 in year-end cash and a proposed $49 million rights issue.

Lycopodium has won an approximately A$42.9 million engineering and procurement contract for Endeavour Mining’s Assafo-Dibibango gold project in Côte d’Ivoire. Work has begun, but continued execution and full implementation remain conditional on Endeavour approving its final investment decision, expected before the end of 2026.

Alfabs Australia’s FY26 reset preserved free cash flow despite a sharp earnings decline, while Mining growth and debt refinancing form the bridge to a potential dividend restart. The company enters FY27 leaner, but the plan still depends on execution, cash conversion and Phase II debt restructuring.

Core Lithium has moved Finniss from care and maintenance back into active mining, with first spodumene concentrate produced after year end and a December-quarter shipment targeted. The restart leaves the company with A$181.8 million in cash, but also a substantial execution task ahead as Grants ramps up and BP33 is developed.

NRW Holdings subsidiary Fredon has secured a roughly $115 million off-site fabrication package for Stack Data Centre MEL03 in Melbourne. The award is the first stage of a broader package valued at approximately $300 million, although the full amount remains tied to Fredon’s preferred-contractor status.

Cosmo Metals has contracted Durock Drilling for up to 2,200 metres of maiden reverse-circulation drilling at the Mona prospect in New South Wales. The campaign will test whether exceptional copper, gold and silver grades from historic mine dumps reflect mineralisation continuing beneath the old workings.

VHM's refreshed feasibility study projects an A$807 million pre-tax NPV for its Goschen rare earths and mineral sands project, with approvals and major procurement work substantially advanced. The project still needs financing, lender due diligence and a Final Investment Decision before construction can begin.

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.

Dyno Nobel has reaffirmed its FY26 outlook and retained its A$600 million FY28 underlying EBIT ambition, while setting a new A$800 million target for FY31. The explosives maker is positioning defence energetics, premium technology and growth in mining markets as the next leg of expansion.

Element 25 has started early site works at its Butcherbird Expansion Project in Western Australia, preparing the ground for a planned 1.1Mtpa manganese operation. The milestone shifts the project from planning towards physical construction, although the main construction package is yet to be awarded.
