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.

Lodestar Minerals has received all assays from a 12,417-metre, 106-hole RC drilling program at Ned’s Creek, supporting its existing exploration target across three gold prospects. A maiden Mineral Resource Estimate is now expected in the second half of October, although reported widths remain subject to geological interpretation and true-width confirmation.

Streamplay’s Noodlecake Studios has secured the mobile publishing rights to Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator, adding a distinctive PC and console title to its pipeline. The iOS and Android release is targeted for Q1 2027, but revenue terms and launch outcomes remain undisclosed.

Connected Minerals has made Angola’s Bailundo niobium and rare earths project its flagship after writing off A$3.40 million in Namibian and Western Australian exploration assets. The pivot is now backed by a completed A$4.5 million placement and a planned 6,000-metre drilling campaign, but Bailundo remains an exploration-stage project without a declared resource.

Critica has produced high-purity mixed rare earth oxide and iron concentrate samples from its Jupiter project, giving potential counterparties physical products to evaluate. The milestone follows flowsheet improvements including stronger recovery, higher concentrate grades and lower sulphuric acid consumption, but commercial specifications and project economics remain unresolved.

Bounty Oil & Gas NL (ASX:BUY) is pursuing a 2,322 km² deepwater exploration block offshore Liberia, backed by a $3.55 million placement and major vendor-linked securities. The opportunity remains conditional: the block has no executed production sharing contract, no independent resource estimate and has not yet been reviewed directly by Bounty.

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.

Rox Resources is pitching Youanmi as a fully funded, near-term gold producer while outlining an ambition to lift output beyond 150,000 ounces a year. The mine’s initial plan remains materially smaller, with first gold targeted for mid-2027 and average production of about 117,000 ounces a year.

Neurotech International has dosed the first patient in its pivotal Phase 3 Beyond Harmony study of NTI164, moving the autism therapy into its most consequential clinical test yet. The trial plans to enrol up to 200 children across six Australian sites, but no Phase 3 efficacy data are available at this stage.

Pantoro Gold says Norseman has produced 19,130 ounces quarter-to-date, keeping FY2027 output within reach of its 90,000 to 105,000-ounce target. A second open pit is now delivering ore while Racetrack drilling continues to build a potential future mine source.

Great Boulder Resources has used FY2026 to make the leap from gold explorer toward producer, acquiring Peak Hill and securing a 481,000-ounce resource alongside its 1.02 million-ounce Side Well project. The strategic shift came with a A$9.93 million loss, a heavily expanded share count and a clear near-term test: whether 40,000 metres of drilling can support development by late 2027.

MyState delivered a sharp rise in FY26 profit as Auswide integration produced $11.8 million in run-rate synergies, while the group lifted its full-year dividend to 24.5 cents per share. The next test is turning early integration gains into a larger payoff without losing control of technology costs and credit risk.
