Coda Minerals has moved Elizabeth Creek closer to a targeted first-quarter 2027 pre-feasibility study, backed by improved leach recoveries, drilling and fresh funding. But the copper developer remains loss-making, burned A$8.87 million in operating cash and will likely need further capital to progress beyond the study stage.

Simonds Group delivered a sharp FY26 earnings rebound, with NPAT rising 950% to $10.5 million as revenue, site starts and margins all improved. The annual report also flags a qualified sustainability reporting outcome and a new Western Australian venture that will require execution and cash.

TZ Limited is still seeking funding after failing to complete its shortfall share placement, with $1.3 million in debt and vendor obligations due. The company says a management restructure, cost cuts and commercial opportunities could improve cash generation, but several forecasts remain conditional.

AXP Energy has conditionally agreed to acquire seven previously producing Oklahoma wells, surrounding leases and production infrastructure for US$225,000, with a proposed US$1.05 million recompletion program. The transaction could expand AXP’s Oklahoma footprint and support earlier production, but completion, technical results and abandonment liabilities remain unresolved.

Cyprium Metals says direct-injection heap leaching at its Nifty Copper Complex has reached target injection rates, with 212 wells now established across Pad 6.

Australian Ethical Investment delivered record funds under management and a 29% rise in shareholder profit in FY26, despite weak performance from Australian equities and emerging companies. The ASX-listed ethical fund manager also increased its fully franked dividend and set out a growth plan centred on private markets, superannuation and technology.

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.

Boom Logistics has secured an expected $18 million, 35-week contract to provide crane services for Neoen’s 179 MW Narrogin Wind Farm in Western Australia. The award gives its FY27 wind division an early revenue platform, although the announcement does not disclose margins or earnings contribution.
