Fortescue shipped 46.8 million tonnes of iron ore in the September quarter, down 6% from a year earlier, while sales lagged production amid negotiations with China Mineral Resources Group. Net debt also rose to US$2.8 billion after the final dividend and quarterly capital spending, although FY27 guidance remains unchanged.

Civmec delivered double-digit earnings growth in FY26, with its new defence arm helping lift the order book to A$1.4 billion. The stronger profit came alongside a sharp working-capital squeeze that left operating cash flow negative after investment in growth.

Tasman Resources has swung to a $16.5 million FY2026 profit after booking a $19.48 million gain when Eden Innovations ceased to be controlled. The explorer also ended the year with $5.65 million in cash and no borrowings, but its next test is geological rather than accounting: drilling at Titan West and Parkinson Dam.

Magmatic Resources has used FY2026 to turn the newly acquired Weebo Gold Project into its main exploration engine, while Fortescue-funded drilling continued to test copper-gold targets at Myall.

HyTerra says it has cut recurring corporate overheads by 30% before new initiatives, or 21% after including them, while reshaping its board and management.

Strategic Energy Resources (ASX:SER) narrowed its FY26 loss and lifted cash to $1.84 million while advancing four Queensland copper-gold projects with Fortescue and Sumitomo. But auditors flagged a material uncertainty over the explorer’s ability to continue as a going concern, leaving future funding central to the investment case.

BPM Minerals has secured the final approvals for a maiden approximately 10,000-metre RC drilling campaign at its untested Bonnie and Clyde prospect in Western Australia. Drilling is expected to begin within 5-10 days, putting a more than 6-kilometre gold-in-soil anomaly to its first meaningful test.

WestStar Industrial says a verbally agreed contract claim added about $5 million to FY2026 revenue and turned what would otherwise have been a loss into a profit. The explanation comes in response to an ASX query over the timing of its results and a recent cleansing notice.

Regener8 Resources appoints Dave Malesic as Managing Director and CEO, aiming to accelerate its Balkan exploration program and unlock value at the Srebrenica North Project.
