Latest Investment Decision News

Boab Metals has moved Sorby Hills from investment decision to construction, but its A$236 million debt facility is not yet available for project drawdowns. The company ended FY26 with A$60.9 million in cash after raising almost A$117 million, while reporting a wider A$7.2 million loss.

Magnetite Mines has warned that its existing cash is insufficient to fund planned activities for the next 12 months, while auditors highlighted a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASX-listed miner is cutting costs and reshaping Razorback around a lower-capital development pathway.

Delorean Corporation’s SA1 Salisbury renewable gas project is more than 85% complete after the company returned to near break-even EBITDA in FY2026. But the annual report carries a material uncertainty over going concern, leaving commissioning, refinancing and new funding as critical tests for the ASX-listed developer.

Tlou Energy has generated its first revenue from gas-derived power at the Lesedi project, but the milestone sits alongside a A$59.96 million loss, minimal cash and a material going-concern uncertainty. Proposed debt conversions could reduce liabilities, yet neither transaction is binding or provides new funding.

Killi Resources has emerged from FY2026 with $14.68 million in cash and a far larger strategic ambition, centred on its proposed 80% acquisition of the Lodestone Iron Ore Project. The company remains loss-making and the transaction was still conditional at year-end, but a 20,000-metre drilling campaign is now targeting rapid resource growth.

Rumble Resources has moved Western Queen closer to a potential 2027 gold start, pairing a larger resource with third-party processing access and A$10 million in royalty funding. The project remains pre-production, however, with approvals, financing, feasibility work and a final investment decision still outstanding.

Minerals 260 has emerged from FY26 with a 6.2Moz Bullabulling resource, a maiden 2.5Moz reserve and a pre-feasibility study pointing to a 19-year gold operation. The project is now moving into definitive feasibility, but debt funding, approvals and a final investment decision remain ahead.

Ellerston Asia Growth Fund Complex ETF (ASX: EAFZ) returned 38.4% after fees for the year ended 30 June 2026, beating its Asian equities benchmark by 2.6 percentage points. Profit more than doubled to $12.49 million, although the result was driven chiefly by investment revaluations and came alongside continued net redemptions.

KGL Resources says its Jervois copper project is funded through construction and ramp-up after a US$300 million Wheaton agreement and a post-year-end A$300 million equity raising. The company is now targeting a final investment decision in the second half of 2026 and first copper concentrate in 2028, while its annual report highlights the execution risks still attached to that timetable.

Wildcat Resources has entered FY27 with a $60 million placement, a $37.2 million year-end cash balance and its Tabba Tabba lithium project advancing towards a definitive feasibility study. The funding strengthens the development runway, but final investment approval, financing and approvals remain ahead.

Amplitude Energy has approved development of its East Coast Supply Project, targeting first gas in 2028 and gross production of up to 90 TJ a day. The decision also adds an exploration well to the campaign, lifting FY27 capital expenditure guidance by up to $80 million.

European Metals will temporarily lose 6.38 percentage points of its Geomet stake after CEZ agreed to fund a EUR13 million cash call. The company intends to buy back the interest for EUR6.448 million, but must first secure financing by 13 November 2026.
