Toubani Resources says construction of its Kobada Gold Project in Mali remains on schedule for first gold in Q3 2027, with CIL tank erection now underway and more than 70% of project costs committed. About US$50 million of the company’s US$160 million stream facility has been drawn as construction moves into a more intensive phase.

LGI Limited (ASX:LGI) is buying two operating Queensland solar farms for $22 million, adding 42MW of export capacity at a price below the company’s stated greenfield replacement cost. The transaction lifts LGI’s targeted medium-term renewable and dispatchable capacity pipeline beyond 120MW, although the projected earnings contribution depends on electricity prices, synergies and software integration.

Civmec has secured more than A$220 million in new contracts and extensions, including construction of Alcoa’s Wagerup gallium plant in Western Australia. The awards are scheduled for delivery across FY27 and FY28 and lift the order book to approximately A$1.5 billion.

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.

Aeris Environmental’s FY2026 annual report pairs international commercial progress with a $5.03 million operating cash drain, $9.22 million in net liabilities and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company says it will need extended related-party loan terms and further funding while converting its technology and chemicals pipeline into recurring revenue.

Tolu Minerals has set out a Q1 2027 restart target for its Tolukuma gold-silver mine in Papua New Guinea, backed by a recently upgraded 909,000-ounce resource and refurbishment of an existing processing plant.

Ampol will acquire Evie Networks for $225 million in a debt-funded deal that would more than triple its public charging footprint to approximately 1,425 bays.

ClearVue Technologies reported just A$108,484 of FY2026 revenue against an A$11.86 million loss, while consuming A$8.69 million in operating cash.

Everlast Minerals has completed its first export shipment from Bangladesh, but the 109-tonne cargo remains a pilot-scale milestone rather than proof of commercial production. The ASX-listed company ended FY26 with $3.32 million in cash, a $3.03 million loss and commissioning still incomplete at its expanded Gaibandha operation.

Tlou Energy has generated its first revenue from gas-derived power at the Lesedi project, but the milestone sits alongside a A$59.96 million loss, minimal cash and a material going-concern uncertainty. Proposed debt conversions could reduce liabilities, yet neither transaction is binding or provides new funding.

Pure One Corporation Limited (ASX:P1E) reported FY26 net profit after tax of A$5.070 million, alongside A$7.191 million in cash and term deposits. The company is positioning battery-swappable heavy vehicles and electric vans as its growth engine, while retaining sizeable interests in gas and clean-energy ventures.
