APA Group will invest approximately $1.015 billion for an 80% stake in a new 400MW gas peaking plant in Queensland, backed by a 25-year inflation-linked hedge with CS Energy. The Brigalow project is targeted for completion in early 2029 and expands APA’s contracted power generation portfolio.

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.

Felix Gold advanced bulk extraction, processing and refinery plans at its Alaska antimony project in FY26, but the push came with a larger loss, falling cash and an auditor-documented material uncertainty over going concern. A potential US$18 million Department of Energy award remains subject to negotiation rather than a committed funding source.

Delta Lithium has outlined Q4 reconnaissance drilling across six Yinnetharra targets, including two gold anomalies supported by high-grade rock-chip and historic drill results. At Mt Ida, new lithium, tantalum and rubidium intersections are feeding a resource update while a 1-tonne metallurgical program moves ahead.

Athena Resources has expanded its Byro Magnetite Project resource to 76.3 million tonnes and begun drilling at Narryer, the prospect earmarked for potential early development.

Metallium has moved Flash Joule Heating from tiny laboratory tests to multi-reactor campaigns in Texas, backed by feedstock contracts, offtake and A$125 million raised during FY2026. Yet the ASX-listed group remains pre-revenue, lost A$42.8 million and says continued access to funding is a material uncertainty.

Liontown has approved a $389 million expansion of Kathleen Valley, targeting average spodumene concentrate production of about 780,000 dry metric tonnes a year from FY30.

VBX has expanded the Wuudagu Bauxite Project’s resource to 143.2 million tonnes, but its FY26 accounts expose acute funding pressure, with just $301,208 in cash and an auditor warning of material uncertainty over going concern.

Audalia Resources has outlined a 24.2 million tonne Medcalf resource, a maiden 11.77 million tonne probable ore reserve and study economics of up to $227 million in NPV.

New Frontier Minerals advanced its copper and rare earths portfolio during FY2026, but the annual report highlights a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.
