Simble Solutions is extending its NanoSensor technology into terrestrial solar monitoring, using its existing SimbleSense and CarbonView platforms as a potential route to commercialisation. The opportunity remains at the benchmark-testing stage, with space-based solar identified as a longer-term possibility rather than an immediate product or revenue stream.

Gold Hydrogen has advanced Ramsay drilling, testing and commercial studies, but its annual report carries a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The pre-revenue explorer ended FY2026 with $9.42 million in cash after spending heavily on exploration.

Nanoveu has received the first packaged engineering samples of its 16nm ECS-DoT edge AI chip from TSMC, moving the program from design files to physical silicon. The next test is whether the added memory, radio and accelerators deliver the power and performance promised on paper.

Advanced Engineered Materials is targeting a sharp increase in high-purity alumina sales while laying the groundwork for a possible doubling of Cap-Chat capacity to 6,000 tonnes per annum. The opportunity is substantial, but much of the customer pipeline remains uncontracted and the expansion still depends on feasibility work, financing and a final investment decision.

The Colonial Motor Company (NZX:CMO) increased shareholder profit, lifted its annual dividend and sharply reduced borrowings and inventory in 2026. The New Zealand automotive group is entering a more difficult trading period, however, with price pressure, new-brand competition and a chair transition ahead.

Avenira has extended its $48.9 million renounceable rights issue by more than a month as it seeks strategic and cornerstone investors. About $10.4 million has been received from investors other than major shareholder Hebang, leaving roughly $9.1 million of that allocation still available.

VHM's refreshed feasibility study projects an A$807 million pre-tax NPV for its Goschen rare earths and mineral sands project, with approvals and major procurement work substantially advanced. The project still needs financing, lender due diligence and a Final Investment Decision before construction can begin.

Telix will acquire ITM in a proposed US$1.65 billion deal that combines a commercial radioisotope supplier with Telix’s precision medicine and therapeutic pipeline. The transaction could give Telix greater supply-chain control and entry into a validated cancer treatment market, but it also brings dilution, integration risk and an unresolved FDA pathway for ITM-11.

Vulcan Energy has started commercial-scale production in Germany of VULSORB, the proprietary adsorbent at the centre of its planned direct lithium extraction process. The material will supply first-fill volumes for Project Lionheart, although lithium production remains targeted for the second half of 2028.

Ramelius Resources has lifted its FY30 production outlook to as much as 610,000 ounces while committing up to A$570 million of growth capital in FY27. The plan puts a larger Mt Magnet processing hub at the centre of the company’s expansion, but also raises the execution and cost stakes.

Vectus Biosystems swung to a $1.56 million FY2026 profit, but the result was driven largely by the sale of its VB4-P5 compound for XORTX shares and warrants rather than recurring operations. The company is now directing its resources towards VB0004 while its auditor flags material uncertainty over ongoing funding.

Tesoro Gold has established a maiden 1.28 million-ounce JORC Ore Reserve at Ternera in Chile, entirely within a single open pit. The reserve gives the El Zorro project a 13-plus-year production base, but the next test is funding and permitting a development still at PFS stage.
