Latest Operational Costs News

PTR Minerals has posted a 463 million tonne maiden resource for its Rosewood titanium project, backed by strong early processing results and fresh funding. The next test is whether the large geological inventory can become an economically viable mine.

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. But the ASX-listed developer also reported a $1.31 million loss, only $720,861 in cash and an auditor warning over its ability to continue as a going concern.

Rhythm Biosciences has moved ColoSTAT and geneType into commercial use, recording its first sales during FY2026. But with sales revenue of just $85,339, a $5.93 million loss and an auditor-flagged going-concern uncertainty, the next phase will be judged on cash generation and repeat adoption.

Tennant Minerals has reported a high-grade maiden resource and further strong drilling at its Bluebird copper-gold discovery, but the annual report carries a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. A $2.8 million capital raise completed around year-end provides near-term funding, while further exploration and processing studies remain ahead.

Viva Leisure used FY2026 to prove its existing club network could generate stronger returns without rapid expansion, lifting revenue 12.2% and underlying NPAT 46.4%. The ASX-listed fitness group is now preparing to accelerate openings while reviewing options for its faster-growing payments and technology business.

Temas Resources and SAGA Metals have begun an eight-week optimisation program aimed at turning strong laboratory recoveries into a defined processing flowsheet and first high-purity titanium, vanadium and iron products. A successful stage could lead to a C$650,000-C$750,000 mini-pilot, although that funding remains subject to technical results and SAGA approval.

The Hydration Pharmaceuticals Company (ASX:HPC) has sharply reduced its operating losses, with Hydralyte LLC recording its first monthly EBITDA profit in August. The group remains loss-making overall, but improved margins and a lower cost base are beginning to show in the numbers.

IperionX has moved its Virginia titanium operation into 24/7 production, lifting nameplate powder capacity to about 200 tonnes a year while commissioning equipment aimed at higher-value components. The progress came alongside a US$66.8 million annual loss, US$63.5 million of operating and investing cash outflows, and continued reliance on government support, customer qualification and future capital.

Revolver Resources has taken its Dianne Copper Mine Project from study towards construction readiness, with a larger resource, secured approvals and a forecast $125.7 million pre-tax cash flow. But the restart still depends on project-level funding before a Final Investment Decision can be made.

Megaport has secured three AI infrastructure contracts worth a combined A$978.6 million, with customer prepayments covering much of the required investment. The deals push pro forma Group ARR to about A$1.1 billion and prompt upgrades to FY27 revenue and EBITDA margin guidance.

Develop Global has issued its first full-year production, operating cost and capital guidance, pairing steady Woodlawn output with the planned start of Pioneer Dome lithium sales. The growth comes with a substantial A$411 million to A$458 million investment program, while Yitirrti remains a construction story until FY28.

Alliance Nickel has approved a second phase of vat leach testing after preliminary NiWest results supported continued evaluation of the alternative processing route. The potential prize is substantial, but quantified recoveries and capital savings remain unproven.
