Latest Investment Decisions News

KGL Resources has received the second US$16 million payment from Wheaton, completing the early deposit for its Jervois copper project. The company says the broader funding package, combined with its A$300 million equity raising, covers construction and the path into production, although the remaining Wheaton tranches are conditional.

TMK Energy’s Gurvantes XXXV Pilot Well Project delivered record September gas production, with average output rising 8% month on month to 872 cubic metres a day. Workover and drilling rigs are now being mobilised, while a gas-to-power investment decision is due before the end of October.

Civmec has secured more than A$220 million in new contracts and extensions, including construction of Alcoa’s Wagerup gallium plant in Western Australia. The awards are scheduled for delivery across FY27 and FY28 and lift the order book to approximately A$1.5 billion.

Wide Open Agriculture has completed a study for a proposed 10,000-tonne-per-year lupin protein facility with indicative annual revenue of A$240 million to A$295 million. The project remains unfunded, unapproved and years from production, leaving contract manufacturing as the immediate test of the company’s strategy.

Finder Energy has extended the Kuda Tasi and Jahal project’s Final Investment Decision deadline to 30 November, after widening its international EPCI tender process. The company says debt financing is nearing its final stages, but the delay adds another checkpoint before its late-2027 drilling target.

Buru Energy has formally referred its 100%-owned Rafael Conventional Gas Project to Western Australia’s environmental regulator, with a decision on whether the project requires assessment expected by late 2026. The referral keeps the company’s targets of a final investment decision in the second half of 2027 and first gas in early 2029 in view, subject to approvals.

Heavy Minerals reported a sharply wider FY2026 loss and a $3.15 million net working capital deficit, with its auditor flagging material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The balance sheet pressure sits alongside stronger project milestones, including a post-year-end Port Gregory study and the push to fund Kanmantoo.

EcoGraf has replaced its earlier Epanko announcement after ASX correspondence, setting out the assumptions behind a potential increase in Stage 1 production to 87,600 tonnes per annum. The higher-throughput case lowers estimated unit costs, but remains preliminary and is not yet the basis for project financing or a final investment decision.

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.

BSA is proposing to acquire aerial infrastructure technology business Eonetics in a largely scrip-based transaction that would leave the sellers with about 39.9% of BSA. The deal remains non-binding, with one seller yet to sign and multiple approvals still required.

KGL Resources has awarded Sedgman the design, procurement and construction contract for the processing plant at its Jervois Copper Project, moving the Northern Territory development closer to a final investment decision. The expanded scope includes early installation work for future plant additions, while KGL says the contract remains consistent with its baseline cost and schedule assumptions.

Stonehorse Energy returned to profit in FY2026 as Canadian production and oil exposure lifted revenue, while the company sold its US assets after year-end. The next test is whether Drumheller can convert production growth into sustainable cash flow while carrying new debt.
