Latest Operating Costs News

Deep Yellow reported a A$13.3 million FY2026 profit and moved its Tumas uranium project closer to a targeted fourth-quarter investment decision. The company remains debt free, but acknowledges it will need external capital to fund construction.

True North Copper has lifted the contained copper inventory across its Cloncurry Copper Project by approximately 18% through a larger Mongoose-Taipan resource. The update gives the late-2026 pre-feasibility study a bigger technical base, but it remains a mineral resource rather than an economic reserve.

Infratil has raised FY27 earnings guidance as data-centre demand accelerates across CDC and Longroad, with AI infrastructure now representing 73% of its NZ$22 billion asset base. The company is also sharpening its strategy around scaled growth platforms, contracted cash flows and selective new investments.

Carbonxt says an expanded order from its largest customer, Wisconsin Public Service, will help drive FY27 revenue more than 33% above FY26. The uplift comes before any contribution from the company’s Kentucky facility, but a two-week production disruption will weigh on the September quarter.

Latrobe Magnesium is shifting its growth priority to a proposed 50 ktpa magnesium plant in South Carolina, backed by 32 ktpa of non-binding customer interest and a 20-year feedstock agreement. The project carries substantial indicative economics, but still needs funding, site acquisition, feasibility work, permits and binding offtake contracts.

Lunnon Metals has reported strong gold intersections from 36 holes at its Foster-Baker project, including a standout 1 metre at 80.80 g/t gold at Hustler and broader mineralisation at Koombana. The results will feed updated resource models before a scoping study considers whether the two deposits could support future mining alongside a Lady Herial cut-back.

Everest Metals has started a 6,000-metre drilling campaign at Revere while commissioning a Scoping Study targeted for March quarter 2027. A separate $150,000 cash and share transaction would lift EMC’s stated joint venture interest to 56% and halve a royalty burden over selected tenements.

Mandrake Resources has extracted more than 8,000 litres of lithium brine from its Utah project and delivered the bulk sample for testing by Electroflow Technologies. The work moves the project toward scoping studies, but the key evidence on grade, recovery and costs is still to come.

Imagion Biosystems has signed nanoComposix to resume GMP-aligned manufacturing of the MagSense nanoparticle core, a move designed to support its FDA-cleared HER2 breast cancer programme without the fixed cost of an in-house facility. The agreement improves manufacturing readiness, but its value, duration and production commitments remain undisclosed.

WhiteRock Lithium has sharply reduced a prospectus accounting adjustment after determining 11.8 million unexercised warrants should not have been remeasured. The correction comes as the newly ASX-listed explorer reports a C$3.19 million after-tax loss and more than C$33 million raised in 2026.

JB Hi-Fi delivered record FY2026 sales of $11.06 billion and lifted its fully franked ordinary dividend by 22.5% to 337 cents per share. The early FY2027 trading update was less assured, with Australian sales and The Good Guys declining in July as shoppers waited for promotions and technology supply remained constrained.

Pan African Resources expects FY26 EPS to rise as much as 151% and headline EPS to more than triple, driven by higher realised gold prices and sales. The company also projects further production growth in FY27, with formal results due next week.
