D3 Energy has lifted its combined 2C recoverable helium resource by 65% to 35.6 BCF while securing A$6.12 million in fresh capital. The annual report also shows the cost of advancing the portfolio, with the FY2026 loss widening to A$6.11 million and operating cash outflow reaching A$3.84 million.

The Queensland Government has deferred the planned 90-day suspension of The Star Gold Coast’s casino licence until 31 March 2027. The reprieve comes with continued independent oversight and a clear warning that key remediation work remains unfinished.

Ballymore Resources has extended high-grade silver-lead-zinc-indium mineralisation closer to surface at its Torpy’s discovery in North Queensland. The latest drilling supports a multiple-shoot interpretation, but the project remains at an early exploration stage with assays pending and no Mineral Resource defined.

Altoro Metals says underground drilling has expanded the apparent width of the Emilia zinc mineralised system beyond 100 metres, although assays from nine holes are still pending. The company is combining four historical workings into one Novales Project as it prepares further drilling, a resource upgrade and mine restart documents.

Kaoko Metals has expanded drilling at its Chalkos Copper-Silver Project to at least 15,000 metres after encouraging early observations at Otniel and a new surface copper discovery at Donkey Hill East. A second rig is now drilling Donkey Hill, while assays from the first two Otniel holes are expected within two to three weeks.

Powerhaus Uranium entered the ASX with a $2.14 million annual loss, $1.51 million operating cash outflow and net liabilities at 30 June 2026. A subsequent $9 million IPO and the Hidden Bay acquisition have given the early-stage explorer a larger exploration runway, but drilling remains subject to approvals and future funding will still matter.

Reward Minerals has begun the first-ever drilling at its Mountain Pond project in Newfoundland, testing whether a surface quartz vein and shear zone continues underground. New soil results have also outlined copper targets at Ante Up and Wildcard, but the project remains firmly in the discovery phase.

PTR Minerals has identified water-bearing aquifers at all three paleochannel targets tested at its Rosewood Titanium Project, addressing a key requirement for its proposed gravity-based processing operation. The company has also cleared access for infill drilling and broader exploration in South Australia.

PTR Minerals has confirmed water-bearing aquifers at all three palaeochannel targets tested near its Rosewood Titanium Project, supporting the proposed gravity-based processing route. The result improves the project’s water supply outlook, but yield, quality and long-term sustainability still require testing.

Patagonia Lithium has reported 15% total porosity and substantial free-fluid storage from Cilon Well 8, strengthening its interpretation of the aquifer’s pumping potential. The evidence is encouraging but remains incomplete, with four core results, further BMR Gamma data and a 72-hour pump test still outstanding.

PMET Resources says Koch Technology Solutions has demonstrated a more selective pathway for turning Shaakichiuwaanaan pollucite concentrate into multiple high-purity caesium chemicals. The result is promising, but the commercial case still depends on larger-scale testing, marketable samples and a planned economic assessment.

Canterbury Resources has reported a broad copper-molybdenum intercept at Briggs while early core observations suggest its John Hill deposit may extend beyond the current resource boundary. The results support ongoing resource upgrades and feasibility work, but John Hill assays are still pending.
