Amaero has released A$2.961 million of restricted cash after renegotiating its EXIM loan, while its proposed US IPO moves through an amended SEC filing. Preliminary September figures show revenue of up to A$5.833 million, but operating cash use remained close to A$9 million.

Electro Optic Systems has signed its largest-ever contract, worth £370 million or about A$700 million, to deploy a nation-wide counter-drone network in an unnamed Gulf state. The opportunity is substantial, but remains conditional on guarantees, an advance payment, export licences and further consents.

Australian Ethical Investment delivered record funds under management and a 29% rise in shareholder profit in FY26, despite weak performance from Australian equities and emerging companies. The ASX-listed ethical fund manager also increased its fully franked dividend and set out a growth plan centred on private markets, superannuation and technology.

Sultan Resources has lodged a prospectus for up to 91.4 million options to existing shareholders, alongside a further 25 million options for lead manager Xcel Capital. The offer brings in little immediate cash but could provide up to $3.43 million if the new options are later exercised.

Hammer Metals has dispatched an amended scheme booklet after correcting several computational errors in performance-rights valuations and director-interest disclosures. The proposed Austral takeover remains unchanged, with shareholder votes scheduled for 9 November and the independent expert’s favourable conclusion intact.

GLG Corp has reported a sharp FY2026 reversal, with revenue falling 8.9% and a US$23.2 million net loss after a major impairment tied to outsourced manufacturer GLIT. The ASX-listed apparel group has since terminated the arrangement, secured bank covenant waivers and begun shifting production to Cambodia and Vietnam.

ASX has immediately suspended trading in CommBank’s PERLS XIII capital notes, CBAPJ, pending their redemption. The notes are expected to be removed from quotation once CBA announces the redemption and lodges the required cessation notice.

High-Tech Metals will ask shareholders to approve a new identity, Beyond Discovery Limited, alongside a proposed ASX code change from HTM to BYD. The move signals a shift toward developing its Mt Fisher and Mt Eureka gold projects, but changes no assets, operations or capital structure.

Iris Cairns Property has opened an unconditional $4.67-per-unit takeover offer for the remaining units in Reef Casino Trust, after building an 85.77% stake through its initial bid. The offer values the remaining units at up to approximately A$33.1 million and could lead to compulsory acquisition and ASX delisting.

Ballard Mining is seeking up to A$50 million to fund aggressive drilling, early infrastructure and feasibility work at its Mt Ida Gold Project. The raise gives the developer a larger runway towards a mid-2027 development decision, but comes with dilution and no guarantee the full amount will be secured.

Pioneer Minerals has entered a voluntary suspension while it prepares an announcement covering a capital raise and material acquisition. Trading is expected to resume on 9 October 2026 or once the announcement is released, whichever comes first.

Alvo Minerals has secured A$1 million from strategic and existing investors while reporting broad, near-surface dysprosium and terbium mineralisation at its Bluebush project in Brazil. The results strengthen the exploration story, but metallurgy, permeability and a maiden resource remain ahead.
