Latest Operating Costs News

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.

FirstWave Cloud Technology has secured an approximately A$1.06 million placement to fund sales conversion and the launch of Open-AudIT 7 and an AI fault-diagnosis product. The raise follows a sharp reduction in losses, positive operating cash flow and a lower cost base, but adds about 151.3 million shares to the register.

FirstWave Cloud Technology has sharply reduced its FY26 loss and generated positive operating cash flow as network monitoring and Latin American revenue accelerated.

BauMart Holdings returned to profit in FY2026 as revenue surged, but the result came alongside negative operating cash flow, net liabilities and an auditor-flagged material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. A post-year-end $244,463 placement provides near-term funding, while receivables collection remains critical.

Manuka Resources has moved its Wonawinta and Mt Boppy restart from planning towards production, but its FY26 annual report carries a qualified audit opinion and warns of material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company recorded no sales revenue, a $28.1 million loss and $26.1 million of operating cash outflows.

Vanadium Resources has repositioned its Steelpoortdrift project around a proposed V-Iron plant producing pig iron and vanadium-bearing slag for Western markets.

Klevo Group has cut its FY2026 loss by more than three-quarters, turned operating cash flow positive and lifted cash to A$4.32 million.

Pure Foods Tasmania has warned of a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern after reporting an $8.6 million FY2026 loss, negative cash and a breach of its Commonwealth Bank covenant.
