Brazilian Critical Minerals has signed binding agreements to acquire 90% of a Brazilian magnesium sulphate producer, aiming to secure a key input for its Ema rare earth project. The strategy offers greater supply-chain control, but the plant requires restructuring and carries estimated legacy liabilities of R$15.3 million.

Accelerate Resources has completed three large-diameter diamond holes at its Area 42 manganese project, with visual mineralisation recorded in each hole. The standout hole covered a 72m downhole span and ended in mineralised chert breccia, but assays and metallurgical results are still pending.

Rox Resources has reached financial close on A$350 million of debt facilities for the Youanmi Gold Mine, removing the conditions that had stood between the funding package and construction spending. The company has initially drawn A$90.2 million in project debt and used a further A$4 million bank guarantee facility allocation.

Xstate Resources has secured preferred tenderer status for a 305 square kilometre block in Queensland’s Taroom Trough, with the company set to initially operate a four-party joint venture. The prospective acreage offers exposure to basin-centred gas, associated liquids and light crude, but the licence remains subject to government processes.

Beetaloo Energy has secured a 25% non-operated interest in a 305 square kilometre Taroom Trough block as part of a four-company joint venture selected as Queensland’s preferred tenderer. The position comes with no upfront consideration, while its initial two-year work program is intended to be funded from existing cash.

Alkane Resources has reported a transformational FY2026, with the Mandalay merger helping lift revenue to A$935.8 million and profit after tax to A$228.7 million. The enlarged gold and antimony producer has also declared its first dividend and approved a buy-back, while setting broadly stable production guidance for FY2027.

6K Additive has completed a six-year, US$27.4 million secured loan with the US Export-Import Bank to expand production of critical metal powders in Pennsylvania.

Centaurus Metals has signed the contract securing initial 20MW of 230kV grid power for its Jaguar nickel project in Brazil. The infrastructure milestone removes one development hurdle, while funding negotiations and final connection approvals remain outstanding.

Mamba Exploration has secured a $6.0 million placement, attracted a $500,000 investment from New Murchison Gold and added former Westgold founder Peter Cook as a strategic adviser. The funding will support drilling at Meeka East and a staged earn-in over the early-stage Poison Hills project, where selective rock chips returned high silver, gold, copper and lead grades.

Stakk has executed a five-year US$9 million agreement with US banking technology provider Candescent, with its AI-powered cheque and document intelligence already deployed.
