Piche Resources has extended the mapped footprint of its Cerro Chacón epithermal system in Argentina, with surface rock-chip samples returning up to 10.41 g/t gold and 553.42 g/t silver. The results support continuity between La Javiela and Toro Hosco, but drilling is still needed to test grade continuity at depth.

Basin Energy has started up to seven drill holes at Rochedale in northwest Queensland, testing a new phosphorite-hosted model for heavy and magnet rare earths. The government-backed program is small and early stage, with assays due in December 2026.

Mesoblast has reported a sharp commercial step-up in FY2026, with Ryoncil generating US$115.2 million in net sales and total revenue reaching US$120.3 million. The company has also completed treatment in its 350-patient back-pain trial and refinanced its debt, but remains loss-making and expects to need more capital beyond the next 12 months.

Magnum Mining has added 119 assay results to its Piracanjuba North database, identifying four coherent high-desorption zones across roughly 7.19 square kilometres. The results strengthen the exploration case ahead of a targeted November resource estimate, although the desorption figures remain laboratory screening results rather than process recoveries.

Midas Minerals has extended confirmed mineralisation at its Spaatzu copper-silver deposit in Namibia to 1.5 kilometres, with broad shallow intercepts continuing to emerge from step-out drilling. Assays from another 19 holes are pending ahead of a planned initial resource estimate in the first quarter of 2027.

Hamelin Gold has expanded its Day Dawn drilling campaign after intersecting multiple high-grade gold lodes, including 3 metres at 93.4 g/t Au from 9 metres. The company raised approximately $8 million during the quarter and held $9 million in cash as it prepares for diamond drilling and further exploration across Western Australia.

Critica has converted 160 million tonnes of its Jupiter rare earths resource into the higher-confidence Indicated category after infill drilling across about 10% of the deposit. The upgrade comes ahead of a scoping study that is expected shortly, although most of Jupiter remains Inferred and no Ore Reserve has been declared.

Coda Minerals has moved Elizabeth Creek closer to a targeted first-quarter 2027 pre-feasibility study, backed by improved leach recoveries, drilling and fresh funding. But the copper developer remains loss-making, burned A$8.87 million in operating cash and will likely need further capital to progress beyond the study stage.

Echelon Resources has completed the Palm Valley 14 appraisal well as a gas producer after a flow test recorded approximately 3 million standard cubic feet per day with no water or oil. First gas is expected before the end of October, with the well forecast to deliver 3-4 terajoules a day once tied in.

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.

AuMEGA Metals has uncovered a 100.5 g/t gold float sample at its Intersection Project in Newfoundland, the second-highest-grade sample recorded across its regional portfolio. Two further samples above 23 g/t strengthen the surface signal, although the results remain early-stage and most assays are still pending.

Bounty Oil & Gas NL (ASX:BUY) has issued 174.26 million shares to raise $2.09 million for its proposed Liberia deepwater acquisition and related Block LB-32 work. A second tranche remains dependent on shareholder approval.
