Latest Due Diligence News

Kali Metals has secured up to $700,000 in exploration funding from Japan’s JX Advanced Metals for its 1,413 square kilometre Southern Lachlan project. The agreement creates a pathway to a potential farm-in or joint venture, but no formal deal has yet been agreed.

Anax Metals has moved its Whim Creek copper-zinc project closer to a targeted investment decision, backed by strong feasibility economics and new drilling. But the annual report makes clear that development still depends on securing further funding, with the auditor warning of a material uncertainty over going concern.

EcoGraf has begun a European Investment Bank-funded study program worth up to €2 million to test expansion options for its Epanko graphite project and planned battery anode operations. The work could strengthen future financing and development decisions, but it remains a planning exercise rather than a construction commitment.

Elementos has materially strengthened its balance sheet while moving its Spanish Oropesa tin project closer to permitting, financing and a final investment decision. The annual report also highlights a doubling of Cleveland’s inferred tungsten resource, but both projects still require substantial capital and further approvals.

Motio has agreed to a recommended all-cash scheme with IVE Group that values each share at 6 cents, a premium to recent trading levels. Completion remains subject to shareholder, optionholder and Court approvals, an Independent Expert’s report and other conditions.

Forrestania Resources has agreed to acquire four granted Western Australian exploration licences at Skeleton Rocks for a stated $250,000 consideration. The deal remains subject to due diligence, with the company yet to choose between cash and shares as payment.

X2M Connect has signed a non-binding two-year MOU with Gateway DC covering data centre development, delivery and platform deployment across Australia and potentially Southeast Asia. The opportunity links Gateway’s planned 120MW-to-2GW-plus Darwin roadmap with X2M’s prospective pipeline exceeding 200MW, but revenue remains subject to future binding agreements.

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.

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.

Auravelle Metals has agreed to divest its Skeleton Rocks Project in Western Australia to Forrestania Resources for $250,000 in cash or shares. The deal remains subject to due diligence and other conditions, as Auravelle narrows its exploration focus to Nuckulla Hill and Crown.

Ingenia Communities has rejected Warburg Pincus’s revised $5.05 per stapled security proposal, saying the offer substantially undervalues the group. The board remains open to a higher-value approach, leaving the takeover discussion unresolved.

FMR Resources will sell its Fairfield copper-gold project to unlisted MFM Resources for $200,000 in MFM shares, subject to approvals, due diligence and MFM securing a proposed ASX listing. The deal marks a sharper concentration of FMR’s resources on its Chilean portfolio, but leaves shareholders exposed to the uncertainty of a future IPO and a non-cash consideration.
