Latest Funding News

KGL Resources has received the second US$16 million payment from Wheaton, completing the early deposit for its Jervois copper project. The company says the broader funding package, combined with its A$300 million equity raising, covers construction and the path into production, although the remaining Wheaton tranches are conditional.

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.

Cauldron Energy has completed a 10,506-metre Yanrey drilling campaign that extended mineralisation at Manyingee South and Manyingee North, including a link towards Paladin’s neighbouring Manyingee deposit. The ASX-listed uranium explorer now plans to fold the results into a JORC resource update expected within two months, while a visit from Uzbekistan’s Navoiyuran adds a separate potential development thread.

49 Metals has started a fully funded 3,500-metre reverse-circulation drilling program at its Gold Mountain project in Nevada, targeting extensions of the Adit Zone discovery. The first assays are expected in roughly four to six weeks, making the next phase a test of whether the broad mineralised system can translate into greater continuity and scale.

An independent transport study has found Alurion Resources’ Amargosa bauxite project can use established road routes for assessed haulage volumes up to 11.5 wet million tonnes a year, twice its Scoping Study base case. The result gives the project’s pre-feasibility study a firmer logistics foundation, although it does not establish a larger production target or guarantee port access.

dorsaVi has secured A$3.0 million to expand its movement-data business for humanoid robotics while advancing its neuromorphic and RRAM chip programs. The raise comes as its first RRAM-CMOS validation chip moves into proprietary memory integration at TSMC.

Yugo Metals has secured six-year access to the private land covering its planned Petrovo drill sites in Bosnia and Herzegovina, paying EUR300,000 and issuing 18 million escrowed shares. An IP survey is due to begin next week, with drilling planned for the fourth quarter subject to approvals.

FOS Capital has raised $276,815 through its Share Purchase Plan and shortfall placement, taking its broader capital raising to $1.83 million. A further $310,000 director subscription remains subject to shareholder approval later this month.

L1 Global Long Short Fund has launched a non-underwritten one-for-two entitlement offer at A$1.76 a share, targeting up to A$482.7 million for new investments. The raising follows a 19.4% portfolio return since L1 Capital became manager and comes with the familiar risk that shareholders who do not participate could be diluted.

Astral Resources will issue Estrella Resources 20 million shares valued at $3 million to acquire nickel rights across five tenements within the broader Mandilla development footprint. Completion is targeted for 12 October, but remains conditional on shareholder, regulatory and third-party approvals.

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.

Wide Open Agriculture has completed a study for a proposed 10,000-tonne-per-year lupin protein facility with indicative annual revenue of A$240 million to A$295 million. The project remains unfunded, unapproved and years from production, leaving contract manufacturing as the immediate test of the company’s strategy.
