Galilee Energy has shifted the Zydeco-1 sidetrack from its original gas-condensate focus to five shallow oil zones carrying up to 422.6 thousand barrels of gross unrisked Prospective Resources. The A$3.5 million placement is expected to fund the revised oil testing and potential production design.

Broken Hill Gold has lifted the Vertigo deposit’s Indicated oxide resource by 160% and increased White Dam’s global resource to 118,496 ounces. The company is now testing whether shallow material can support a heap-leach restart while drilling deeper gold-copper sulphide potential.

Gibb River Diamonds reported a A$5.61 million profit after receiving a A$7 million pre-GST distribution from its Neta gold joint venture. The cash windfall leaves the explorer with A$6.74 million in the bank, but its next challenge is converting a one-off mining payment into a credible development pipeline.

Pivotal Metals has used its FY2026 annual report to position Horden Lake as a larger, better-understood Quebec copper project, with a maiden scoping study targeted for September. The company also expanded Belleterre drilling and added the Bambino project, but remains loss-making and dependent on further funding.

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.

Carnavale Resources is approaching the final stretch of its bankable feasibility study for the 80%-owned Kookynie Gold Project, backed by a 120,000-ounce resource and strong metallurgical recoveries. The project still requires financing, a toll-treatment agreement and final economic modelling before it can move from promising study to mine development.

Alchemy Resources finished FY2026 with a sharply wider loss, lower cash and a smaller asset base, even as drilling delivered strong copper-gold results at Yellow Mountain and high-grade iron results at Valley Bore. The explorer has reshaped its portfolio, but its next phase still depends on exploration success and further funding.

Codan Limited (ASX:CDA) has entered FY27 with record revenue, profit and a sharply larger Communications orderbook, while targeting approximately 20% Communications revenue growth. The forecast is conditional on supply-chain capacity as demand for unmanned systems and new gold detectors accelerates.

Legacy Minerals has appointed WSP to assess scandium at its 100%-owned NiCo Young project, potentially adding a third critical mineral to a 167.8Mt inferred nickel-cobalt resource. The combined JORC update is expected in October, but no scandium resource has yet been established.

Western Gold Resources has sharply expanded the proposed Gold Duke mine, lifting its production target by 62% and forecasting A$72.9 million in operating surplus. The preliminary study is stronger on paper, but still depends on funding and the restart of toll treatment at Wiluna.

Albright Metals will surrender its Gabanintha mineral rights to Australian Vanadium in return for $1.75 million, a 0.75% royalty and a sharper focus on its Canadian flagship. The package includes $500,000 in cash and $1.25 million of Australian Vanadium shares, although the final share count is yet to be determined.

Australian Vanadium will pay $500,000 in cash, issue $1.25 million of shares and transfer a royalty to regain control of non-vanadium mineral rights at its Gabanintha project. The deal simplifies the project’s ownership structure, but the newly recovered nickel, copper and gold potential remains unproven and outside the current development case.
