Aguia Resources has recorded its strongest month yet at the Santa Barbara gold project in Colombia, producing 36.75 ounces and generating AUD$218,000 in gross value.

Vitasora says its remote-care model is now functioning, with estimated September-quarter revenue of US$1.028 million and a September exit rate of about US$17,400 a day. The next test is execution: turning planned Care Coordinator hiring into sustained, reconciled revenue and operational break-even.

Estrella Resources has agreed to divest its nickel rights across five Western Australian tenements for 20 million Astral Resources shares valued at $3 million. The deal remains conditional, but would sharpen Estrella’s focus on its Timor-Leste exploration portfolio while preserving exposure to Astral’s equity upside.

Wide Open Agriculture has completed a study for a proposed 10,000-tonne-per-year lupin protein facility with indicative annual revenue of A$240 million to A$295 million. The project remains unfunded, unapproved and years from production, leaving contract manufacturing as the immediate test of the company’s strategy.

Moab Minerals has resumed trading after lodging an annual report that shows a smaller loss but a stark liquidity warning. The uranium explorer says it needs fresh capital, creditor support and lower costs to continue operating normally.

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. But a $5.35 million net current asset deficiency, covenant breach and planned capital raise leave the turnaround dependent on continued execution.

Tolu Minerals has set out a Q1 2027 restart target for its Tolukuma gold-silver mine in Papua New Guinea, backed by a recently upgraded 909,000-ounce resource and refurbishment of an existing processing plant.

Alara Resources has shipped its 65th copper-concentrate parcel from Oman, closing out a record quarter with approximately 2,952 tonnes of contained copper sales. September’s total was 42% above the previous quarterly record and nearly double the comparable quarter a year earlier.

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.
