Latest Industrials News

Sigma Lithium has temporarily halted all mining and industrial production at its Grota do Cirilo operation in Brazil while awaiting a Federal Court of Appeals ruling over an environmental dispute involving Quilombola community rights. The company is maintaining its FY2027 production target of 330,000 tonnes, but has delayed its 240,000-tonne 12-month guidance by three months.

xReality Group has identified unaudited adjustments that deepen its FY26 loss by $5.79 million and cut net assets from $14.0 million to $6.7 million. Customer revenue and cash flow are unchanged, but trading is suspended until the audit and amended accounts are completed.

Altech Batteries reported a $43.4 million FY2026 loss after abandoning its two major German battery projects, while its CERENERGY subsidiary filed for insolvency and a proposed Malaysian asset sale fell through. The company now faces substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

Quixxi has secured a four-year A$635,238 contract with a major Italian industrial group for its Clarity AI governance platform. The win strengthens the case for WhiteHawk’s proposed acquisition, but WhiteHawk will not benefit financially unless shareholders approve the deal and completion follows.

Metallium has completed a 12-hour campaign using three Flash Joule Heating reactors to process platinum-group-metal-bearing catalytic converter material under reactive chlorination conditions. The milestone advances the company’s scale-up program, but recovery results, product economics and feedstock grades remain unverified.

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.

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. The solar-glazing developer says certifications, international partners and an 80-project pipeline have strengthened its platform, but the next test is converting those assets into cash revenue.

FBR has cut its annual loss dramatically and moved its first Mantis welding robot into commissioning, but year-end cash of just A$27,814 leaves the company dependent on fundraising, tax funding and successful delivery. Its audited accounts flag a material uncertainty over whether the robotics developer can continue as a going concern.

Black Rock Mining has advanced early works at its Mahenge graphite project, but the annual report warns that securing approximately US$298 million of project funding by November is critical to its survival as a going concern. The company ended FY2026 with A$4.7 million in cash and an A$7.6 million net loss.

International Graphite has moved its graphite processing strategy from plans towards construction and joint ventures, but the FY2026 annual report shows the company remains loss-making and reliant on external funding. Collie is scheduled for building completion in Q2 2027, while the proposed European hub still requires financing and development work.

Vanadium Resources has repositioned its Steelpoortdrift project around a proposed V-Iron plant producing pig iron and vanadium-bearing slag for Western markets. The strategy has secured a non-binding U.S. offtake framework and advanced site and funding work, but the auditor has flagged material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

NeuRizer has secured agreements worth AUD$12.7 million with Reliance Industries, offering a potential funding bridge for its coal-gasification technology. But the company’s FY2025 accounts show a larger loss, just $183,666 in year-end cash and a material dependence on continued funding and creditor support.
