Latest Divestment News

Cavalier Resources has lifted the Crawford Gold Project’s Stage 1 NPV by about 50% to A$77.2 million, while drilling supports extensions beyond the planned starter pit.

Global Lithium’s proposed acquisition of the Nova Operation from IGO has become unconditional after the ACCC waived its notification requirement. Completion is still pending the shutdown and final shipment timetable, with the transaction not yet completed.

DeSoto Resources has assembled about 1,300 square kilometres of gold tenure in Guinea’s Siguiri Basin, but the expansion came with a A$15.0 million FY2026 loss and a A$6.35 million write-off of Northern Territory exploration assets. The company enters FY2027 with drilling, geophysics and tenure renewals still to convert its large portfolio into a defined resource.

Catalina Resources has executed the mining lease transfer for its Nelson Bay River project, paving the way for up to $1.29 million in rehabilitation security to be recovered. The company plans to redirect the capital into November drilling at its Kirkalocka gold and Tallering tungsten projects, subject to final heritage clearance and regulatory steps.

Capstone Copper will sell its Cozamin copper-silver-zinc-lead mine in Mexico to Luca Mining for up to US$385 million, including US$275 million in upfront cash. The proposed divestment is designed to strengthen Capstone’s balance sheet and redirect capital towards its growth pipeline.

Transurban recorded 3.4% growth in Group average daily traffic in August, with North America again providing the standout performance. The result was positive overall, although Melbourne’s underlying traffic fell once the West Gate Tunnel contribution was removed.

Global Lithium’s Manna-Nova integration study nearly doubles the project’s post-tax NPV to A$945.7 million while cutting funded pre-production capital by 59%. The plan targets first direct shipping ore in May 2027 and spodumene concentrate production by mid-2027, but still depends on funding, approvals and a final investment decision.

Vicinity Centres has positioned portfolio premiumisation and development execution as the engine of future growth, but its Chadstone case study also shows how quickly valuation assumptions can alter project returns.
