Nexsen has paused its StrepSure clinical programme after an interim review identified performance improvements needed before a US FDA submission, pushing the target timetable back by roughly one quarter. Its shares were then suspended pending an announcement about a potentially material contract for an additional device.

Iron Bear Resources says a new federal-provincial assessment framework, major Labrador clean-energy investment and strategic-project coordination could improve the development pathway for its Canadian iron ore project. The initiatives are supportive, but they do not yet represent project approvals, secured power or construction funding.

ACDC Metals has joined a U.S.-backed defence consortium, giving its Goschen Central rare earths project a route into government solicitations, research partnerships and potential offtake discussions. The membership is strategically significant, but it is not a funding award or contract.

ClearVue Technologies and LandVac have begun the first real-world deployment of their jointly developed photovoltaic glazing at a Macau hotel. The side-by-side test will measure power generation, thermal performance and cooling demand against legacy single glazing, giving the project its first operating data outside development conditions.

Critica Limited (ASX:CRI) has delivered stronger technical results across its Jupiter rare earths and Mt Lindsay tin-tungsten projects, but the developer remains dependent on further funding. Two scoping studies targeted for Q3 2026 now carry the burden of translating resource potential and laboratory results into project economics.

Vection Technologies has signed reciprocal five-year reseller agreements with Xerox, opening a potential Western European channel for its conversational AI, digital human, kiosk and XR technologies. The opportunity is strategically notable, but the agreements contain no minimum volumes, pricing or committed revenue.

News Corp has reported record fiscal 2026 revenue of $9 billion, with Total Segment EBITDA exceeding $1.6 billion and free cash flow reaching $811 million. Dow Jones and digital real estate services led the performance, while the company returned $643 million through share buybacks.

Washington H. Soul Pattinson delivered a record statutory profit after its Brickworks merger, but the headline $2.191 billion result was dominated by accounting gains that will not recur. More durable measures also improved, with Net Cash Flow From Investments rising 11.5%, post-tax NAV reaching $14.5 billion and the final dividend increasing to 63 cents per share.

Centuria Industrial REIT delivered 4% growth in funds from operations for FY26 and expects another lift in FY27, supported by leasing momentum and embedded rental reversion. The opportunity comes with a more exposed interest-rate profile and a development pipeline that still depends on power, planning and execution.

Image Resources has secured a A$5 million cash advance from LB Group while negotiating a broader deal that could bring further funding and mineral sands processing equipment into its Durack and Yandanooka projects. The advance comes without issuing new shares, but the larger transaction remains unresolved.

Aurum Resources has secured A$52.5 million from institutional investors to begin long-lead procurement and other early works at its Boundiali gold project before the definitive feasibility study is complete. The raise strengthens the balance sheet, but also adds 95.45 million shares ahead of two major technical milestones.

Perpetual Resources has added 62 lode claims around its Nevada Scheelite tungsten project, expanding the land position by 1,271.63 acres and more than 15 times the original patented claim area. The move broadens the project from a historic mine redevelopment opportunity into a larger exploration play, although the new ground remains untested.
