Jupiter Mines will replace Managing Director Brad Rogers with mining veteran Matthew Jarvis on an interim basis, while Rogers remains through November to oversee key strategic outcomes. The transition gives the company continuity, but leaves the timing of a permanent appointment unresolved.

BPM Minerals has secured the final approvals for a maiden approximately 10,000-metre RC drilling campaign at its untested Bonnie and Clyde prospect in Western Australia. Drilling is expected to begin within 5-10 days, putting a more than 6-kilometre gold-in-soil anomaly to its first meaningful test.

New Age Exploration reported its strongest exploration results to date across three projects, including a 11.0 g/t gold intercept at Wagyu and a new mineralised zone at Lammerlaw. But the explorer’s $4.21 million loss, $2.48 million impairment and auditor-flagged going concern uncertainty leave its next drilling campaign dependent on further funding.

Otto Energy’s attempt to sell its Gulf of America assets as a package has produced no actionable transaction, with GC 21’s decommissioning liabilities emerging as the central obstacle. The company will now pursue a separate sale of SM 71 while weighing other ways to manage GC 21.

Gorilla Gold Mines has extended its Lakeview drilling story with a 7.0-metre intercept grading 12.6g/t gold, while securing the final permit for underground activities at Sovereign. Metallurgical testing across three Comet Vale deposits also returned average 94.6% gold recovery after 48 hours at a relatively coarse grind size.

H3 Energy says four prospective partners have completed initial evaluations of its Warro gas project and been invited to submit commercial proposals. At Alinya, multiple global energy companies have signed confidentiality agreements and entered the data room, but no binding farm-out deal has yet been secured.

Challenger Gold has set early 2029 as the target for commercial production from a stand-alone heap leach operation at its Hualilán project in Argentina. The roadmap brings engineering, drilling and financing into sharper focus, but still depends on a US$15 million debenture refinancing and a much larger project funding package.

Conrad Asia Energy has completed the sale of a 75% non-operated interest in the Duyung PSC, triggering a US$4 million payment from PT Nations Natuna Barat. The company says the transaction leaves it with a 22.875% operated interest and fully funds the US$320 million Mako gas development.

Leeuwin Metals will acquire three Western Australian exploration tenements covering about 105km², including ground adjoining the Marvel Loch gold mine. The all-scrip deal requires no cash payment, but two of the licences remain applications and the exploration case is still at an early stage.

X2M Connect has signed a non-binding five-year partnership with Ethical Development Fund Australia to pursue a 20MW to 45MW GPU data centre and renewable energy precinct in North Queensland. The opportunity could generate both infrastructure delivery revenue and recurring platform fees, but remains subject to binding project agreements, funding and approvals.

LE Minerals has confirmed lithium-bearing brines across its White Plains project in Utah, with 12 direct push holes returning grades of up to 114 mg/L at 15 metres. The company will now work towards a maiden JORC Mineral Resource, although five southern auger sites produced no brine and several claims were not renewed.

Viridis Mining and Minerals has selected Sedgman and Blossom as the preferred EPCM partner for its Colossus rare earths project, with up to US$3 million approved for work before a final investment decision. The full contract remains conditional, but engineering and procurement activity will begin immediately.
