Latest Innovation News

Eden Innovations reported a sharp acceleration in US sales during Q1 FY27, led by a 247% jump in OptiBlend revenue and expanding EdenCrete plant installations. The figures are unaudited management results, but they give the company a stronger opening quarter for the new financial year.

Aurora Labs has appointed Andrew Garth as chief executive, moving former CEO Rebekah Letheby into a newly focused chief operating role. The reshuffle is intended to separate commercial strategy from technical execution as the company pursues scaled manufacturing and defence opportunities.

Booster has secured a further $7.4 million capital commitment for the Booster Innovation Fund, taking total committed and allocated capital above $23 million. The funding announcement arrives alongside disclosure of civil proceedings by New Zealand’s Financial Markets Authority and a new independent director.

Locksley Resources has halted active field exploration across its Mojave antimony and rare earths project after antimony prices fell more than 57% from mid-2025 peaks. The strategic reset came as the company reported a widened FY26 loss of A$15.65 million and shifted attention to copper-gold assets in New South Wales.

Tasman Resources has swung to a $16.5 million FY2026 profit after booking a $19.48 million gain when Eden Innovations ceased to be controlled. The explorer also ended the year with $5.65 million in cash and no borrowings, but its next test is geological rather than accounting: drilling at Titan West and Parkinson Dam.

Eden Innovations has transformed its balance sheet, cutting interest-bearing liabilities from $16.97 million to negligible levels after year-end. But revenue fell 19%, the Group remained deeply loss-making and its auditor flagged a material uncertainty over going concern.

AnteoTech has set sales conversion as its FY2027 priority after FY2026 sales revenue slipped to A$460,397, while operating expenses fell sharply and cash stood at A$11.2 million. The battery materials and life sciences company says customer evaluations and partnership discussions are building, but most opportunities remain short of recurring commercial revenue.

Ocean Sciences delivered a sharp increase in seaweed revenue during FY2026, but the audited report also records a A$1.612 million continuing-operations loss, A$2.319 million operating cash outflow and material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The renamed ASX-listed group is now seeking up to A$3 million while building out its Indonesian platform.

Altamin has completed the core technical work for its Lazio geothermal brine Scoping Study, but auditors have flagged material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASX-listed developer ended FY2026 with A$2.39 million in cash after raising A$5.39 million during the year.

Green Technology Metals has cleared the environmental assessment for its Seymour lithium project, while a A$15.9 million capital raising leaves the company better placed to complete its definitive feasibility study. The next test is whether permitting, financing and Indigenous agreements can convert that progress into a Final Investment Decision in FY27.

Viridis Mining and Minerals Limited (ASX:VMM) has used its FY2026 annual report to present Colossus as a rare earths project moving from study work into execution. The company has reported strong DFS economics and fresh equity funding, but still needs key permits, binding offtake and senior debt before construction can fully proceed.

Betashares’ six audited ETFs delivered sharply mixed results for the year ended 30 June 2026, with Bitcoin, Ethereum and gaming funds reporting losses while uranium assets expanded. Post-year-end NAV swings added another layer of volatility, including a 49.67% rise for the Ethereum ETF.
