Black Canyon Limited has initiated a 3,000-metre reverse circulation drilling program at its Wandanya Project, aiming to expand on promising high-grade manganese and iron mineralisation along 1.5km of a 3km strike. The program is supported by a WA Government co-funded grant, with assay results expected in the coming months.

Tivan Limited has reported exceptional fluorite assay results from its Sandover Project, with grades reaching up to 91.4% CaF2 and a mineralised strike length now extending to 7 kilometres. The company is advancing towards a maiden drilling campaign scheduled for October 2025.

Octava Minerals reports encouraging early-stage bioleaching results from CSIRO on its Byro REE and lithium project, signaling potential for cost-effective and environmentally friendly metal extraction.

Resouro Strategic Metals’ Tiros Project in Brazil has been selected for a major Brazilian government funding initiative aimed at advancing critical mineral production. This endorsement could accelerate the project’s development and bolster its role in the clean energy transition.

Renascor Resources has received provisional development authorisation from South Australia’s Minister for Planning to build a commercial-scale battery anode material plant, marking a pivotal step in its vertically integrated graphite project.

Ioneer Ltd has raised approximately US$16 million through a strongly supported placement to advance its Rhyolite Ridge Lithium-Boron Project, complemented by a Share Purchase Plan targeting an additional US$3.3 million. This funding is pivotal for progressing environmental permitting, project readiness, and strategic partnerships.

Vulcan Energy has received building permits for its 30MW geothermal renewable energy plant in Germany, advancing its goal of carbon-neutral lithium production for Europe’s battery industry.
