Latest Funding News

Sultan Resources has lodged a prospectus for up to 91.4 million options to existing shareholders, alongside a further 25 million options for lead manager Xcel Capital. The offer brings in little immediate cash but could provide up to $3.43 million if the new options are later exercised.

Hammer Metals has dispatched an amended scheme booklet after correcting several computational errors in performance-rights valuations and director-interest disclosures. The proposed Austral takeover remains unchanged, with shareholder votes scheduled for 9 November and the independent expert’s favourable conclusion intact.

GLG Corp has reported a sharp FY2026 reversal, with revenue falling 8.9% and a US$23.2 million net loss after a major impairment tied to outsourced manufacturer GLIT. The ASX-listed apparel group has since terminated the arrangement, secured bank covenant waivers and begun shifting production to Cambodia and Vietnam.

Daly Resources has emerged from its June ASX debut with $11.05 million in cash, a 6,500 km² Northern Territory exploration portfolio and a growing list of drill targets. The catch is familiar for early-stage explorers: the company has yet to define a mineral resource or reserve, while its strongest Huckitta results remain surface sampling rather than drilling.

High-Tech Metals will ask shareholders to approve a new identity, Beyond Discovery Limited, alongside a proposed ASX code change from HTM to BYD. The move signals a shift toward developing its Mt Fisher and Mt Eureka gold projects, but changes no assets, operations or capital structure.

Genetic Signatures reduced its quarterly operating cash outflow to A$1.0 million after restructuring, while commercial testing began under its Danish hospital contract. The company is also advancing an all-scrip Microba merger, but faces a contested shareholder meeting later this month.

Iris Cairns Property has opened an unconditional $4.67-per-unit takeover offer for the remaining units in Reef Casino Trust, after building an 85.77% stake through its initial bid. The offer values the remaining units at up to approximately A$33.1 million and could lead to compulsory acquisition and ASX delisting.

Ballard Mining is seeking up to A$50 million to fund aggressive drilling, early infrastructure and feasibility work at its Mt Ida Gold Project. The raise gives the developer a larger runway towards a mid-2027 development decision, but comes with dilution and no guarantee the full amount will be secured.

Pioneer Minerals has entered a voluntary suspension while it prepares an announcement covering a capital raise and material acquisition. Trading is expected to resume on 9 October 2026 or once the announcement is released, whichever comes first.

Alvo Minerals has secured A$1 million from strategic and existing investors while reporting broad, near-surface dysprosium and terbium mineralisation at its Bluebush project in Brazil. The results strengthen the exploration story, but metallurgy, permeability and a maiden resource remain ahead.

Torque Metals has secured A$25 million from institutional investors to expand drilling and regional exploration at its Ritz Gold Project in Western Australia. The placement will lift pro forma cash to about A$32.7 million, but adds roughly 21% to the existing share count and leaves the company’s million-ounce ambition dependent on exploration results.

Lotus Resources has executed key documentation for a Mercuria facility providing up to US$30 million in inventory-backed prepayment funding, while only one major approval remains before Kayelekera’s first uranium shipment. Operations are improving, but production remains tied to acid availability and power reliability.
