Hastings Technology Metals has completed its 49% acquisition of a Thai hydrometallurgical plant, with upgrades targeting 12,000 tonnes per annum of Mixed Rare Earth Chloride output. The company now faces the harder test: commissioning the facility, securing customers and converting a contracted feedstock position into sales.

RooLife Group opened FY2027 with A$7.9 million in unaudited revenue and customer cash receipts up 884% year on year.

VBX has raised $4.5 million to advance its Wuudagu bauxite project, while extending the definitive feasibility study into the first quarter of 2027. The company is also assessing preliminary development funding proposals after terminating an indicative thyssenkrupp term sheet to preserve strategic flexibility.

4DMedical reported a record first quarter, with scan volumes up 61% to 119,672 and unaudited operating revenue rising 66% to $2.3 million. New contracts across the US, Germany and Australia broaden the commercial story, while $242.8 million in cash gives the company room to keep investing.

Veris is using its FY26 results and first-quarter trading update to make the case that its transformation from surveyor to digital and spatial advisory firm is gaining traction.

RLF AgTech improved margins and cut its quarterly loss sharply, even as revenue fell 18%. The more pressing issue is cash: operating outflow more than doubled to $3.6 million, leaving the fertiliser group with an estimated 1.8 quarters of funding.

DevEx Resources has completed its 2026 Nabarlek drilling campaign after recording uranium-equivalent intersections at Nabarlek North and Big Radon, alongside extensive alteration at KP.

Barramundi’s portfolio returned 3.0% on a gross basis in the September quarter, ahead of the ASX 200’s 1.3% gain. CSL, Ansell, MAAS Group and PWR Holdings led the recovery, although the NZX-listed investment company still traded at a 17.2% discount to NAV.

Yandal Resources has extended its high-grade Arrakis discovery with a 20-metre intercept at 8.7g/t gold, including 3 metres at 52.8g/t.
