Capstone Copper has agreed to sell its Cozamin mine in Mexico to Luca Mining in a deal featuring US$275 million upfront and as much as US$110 million in deferred and copper-linked payments. The proposed sale would give Capstone fresh balance-sheet capacity while preserving indirect exposure to the asset through Luca shares.

Port of Tauranga’s Stella Passage development has been hit by an appeal and a judicial review application from tangata whenua parties. The port says the project remains urgent and will seek the earliest possible court hearing, but has disclosed no estimate of the legal or financial impact.

Klevo Group has reported a sharp FY2026 turnaround, with revenue up 324%, positive operating cash flow and cash rising to A$4.32 million.

Lynas Rare Earths has agreed to acquire Meteoric Resources in an all-share deal valued at about A$968 million, adding the Caldeira rare earths project in Brazil to its portfolio.

Oregon Group is seeking effective control of New Zealand King Salmon after agreeing to buy half of a 9.87% stake and secure voting rights over another holder’s shares. The proposed transaction would give Oregon control of 50.68% of NZK’s voting rights, subject to several approvals.

Lakes Blue Energy reported a $19.67 million FY26 loss, ended the year with just $433,804 in cash and disclosed a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

Dalaroo Metals has moved from a Western Australian base-metals explorer into a three-country gold and critical-minerals play, but its next phase depends on drilling success and continued access to capital.

European Lithium reported a A$930.6 million FY2026 profit, but the headline result was dominated by a A$1.276 billion accounting gain after losing control of Critical Metals Corp.
