Regis Resources maintained FY27 production and cost guidance after September rainfall cut first-quarter output to 83.0koz and pushed AISC to $3,617/oz. Cash and bullion still rose to $1.28 billion, although a large tax payment and dividend have created a significant near-term cash call.

Critica’s Jupiter Scoping Study points to a potentially large Western Australian rare earths operation with a modelled pre-tax NPV of A$2.7 billion and after-tax NPV of A$2.0 billion. The headline economics remain preliminary, rely on modelled pricing and tax incentives, and require about A$556 million in pre-production capital that has not yet been secured.

Everest Metals has advanced its Mt Edon rubidium project towards pilot plant development after batch testing delivered recovery of up to 90% and cut leaching water use by 60%. The scale-up remains unfinished, with continuous rotary-kiln trials producing lower and variable recovery of 50% to 60%.

Emerald Resources delivered a sharp lift in FY26 profit as its Okvau gold mine generated the cash to fund two new developments. The debt-free, unhedged producer is now moving Dingo Range and Memot from permitting and study work towards construction, while warning that key reserves and timing milestones are still ahead.

Mount Ridley has lodged a second provisional patent application for an adapted Selectro chemistry targeting industrial metal feedstocks, following first-pass bauxite recoveries of 92% aluminium and 97% iron. Gallium results are still pending, and the process has not yet been optimised for bauxite.

Benz Mining has defined a 100-200 metre-wide mineralised system across the first kilometre of the 3km Icon trend, with stacked gold lenses continuing beyond 500 metres vertically. The results add weight to the company’s push for a maiden Glenburgh resource in Q1 2027, while leaving the critical question of true widths and resource scale unresolved.

Core Lithium has reported its longest mineralised intersection yet at the Blackbeard prospect, with diamond hole NMRD104 returning 92m at 1.25% Li2O. The result strengthens evidence of continuity near the Finniss processing plant, although assays remain pending and Blackbeard has no Mineral Resource.

QMines has intersected further high-grade copper-gold mineralisation beneath the flooded Mt Chalmers pit, led by 26.2 metres at 2.0% copper equivalent including 2.4 metres at 9.1% CuEq. The results strengthen the geological model and leave mineralisation open, but continuity, true widths and the eventual resource impact remain unconfirmed.

Medallion Metals is moving towards first gold production, with Cosmic Boy processing scheduled to begin this month and initial sales expected in November. At Kundip, the first box-cut blast is complete and underground development remains targeted for December.

South32 has maintained FY27 production guidance across every operation, while Sierra Gorda delivered stronger copper output and Hermosa cleared a major permitting hurdle. The quarter also exposed a sharp Cannington setback, with zinc-equivalent production falling 27% as paste backfill constraints disrupted mining.

WA1 Resources has reported broad, high-grade niobium intersections from infill drilling at the eastern zone of its Luni Project, with 41 further assays still pending. The results are intended to support a Q1 CY2027 resource update targeting an initial Measured Resource, while the Pre-Feasibility Study remains on track for completion this quarter.

BPM Minerals has completed 9,060 metres of a record Forelands drilling campaign, with post-quarter assays returning its best Beachcomber result to date. The company is now advancing maiden drilling at Bonnie & Clyde while working towards a maiden resource estimate targeted for the first half of 2027.
