Macallum New Energy has locked in an approximately A$3 million placement to fund EP 494 farm-out work, technical studies and preparations for potential drilling in late 2027. Most of the raising can proceed under existing placement capacity, while director participation and broker options require shareholder approval.

Tambourah Metals has confirmed a high-grade primary gold interval at Baxter South while progressing drilling toward a maiden resource at Tambourah King. The ASX-listed explorer ended September with A$4.037 million in cash and estimated funding for 4.53 quarters at the quarter’s reported spending rate.

SHAPE Australia has lifted FY27 project wins above $1.4 billion after securing an approximately $800 million DigiCo data centre contract, with the project expected to add about $200 million of revenue in each of FY27 and FY28. The award comes alongside stronger modular revenue, a new Western Australian facility and a quarter-end backlog up 21%.

Rumble Resources has outlined a preliminary A$86 million pre-tax NPV for Western Queen, with a 45% IRR and almost four years of planned underground production. The study also leaves room for tungsten upside, but financing, approvals and a feasibility study remain unresolved.

Native Mineral Resources has produced its largest Blackjack doré smelt since operations began, with internal assays pointing to approximately 580oz of contained gold. The result puts October refined gold outturn on track for 1,300oz to 1,400oz, although Perth Mint confirmation is still pending.

Global Lithium’s annual report captures a pivotal shift from lithium developer to takeover target, after the Manna-Nova integration study lifted estimated post-tax NPV8 to about A$946 million and cut funded pre-production capital by 59%. The proposed A$333 million Titan transaction offers shareholders cash value while leaving Manna’s development timetable subject to approvals, funding and execution.

European Lithium’s share and option schemes with Critical Metals Corp. are now effective after the Supreme Court of Western Australia’s orders were lodged with ASIC.

Parbo Resources has completed a 4,737-metre maiden aircore programme at Brians Mill less than six weeks after listing on the ASX. The Western Australian explorer is now awaiting assays while a second 7,500-metre programme advances at Mount Padbury.

Rapid Critical Metals has completed maiden drilling at its Prophet River gallium-germanium project, with visible sphalerite and galena logged in all seven holes. The strongest downhole intervals widened at Pad 2, but laboratory assays will determine whether the visual results contain economic zinc, germanium or gallium grades.

Arika Resources has identified a previously unrecognised gold lode at its Kookynie project after drilling returned 19 metres at 7.99g/t gold, including 6 metres at 15.87g/t. The early-stage discovery sits above the historic Champion Main Reef and opens several follow-up targets along a 3km mineralised trend.

Firebird Metals has improved the packing density, particle morphology and impurity profile of its lithium-manganese-rich precursor material, with tap density reaching 1.35 g/cm³ and sulphur falling 46% to 610 ppm. The results strengthen the technical case for the platform, but downstream cathode testing and larger-scale validation remain ahead.

Sports Entertainment Group delivered sharp FY26 operating growth, with revenue up 39% and underlying EBITDA up 73% to A$18.2 million. The result arrives as SEG takes on MediaWorks New Zealand, suspends its final dividend and shifts from a largely Australian sports media business towards a larger trans-Tasman platform.
