Kali Metals has secured up to $700,000 in exploration funding from Japan’s JX Advanced Metals for its 1,413 square kilometre Southern Lachlan project. The agreement creates a pathway to a potential farm-in or joint venture, but no formal deal has yet been agreed.

Enterprise Metals has secured $1.2 million in discounted equity funding alongside a proposed board overhaul led by mining executives Phillip Gallagher and Steven Zaninovich. The incoming team will review the company’s Western Australian portfolio and decide where its limited exploration capital should go next.

Everest Metals moved Mt Dimer into mining, established a 260,780-ounce Revere gold resource and upgraded its Mt Edon rubidium project in FY2026. Yet the company remains loss-making, has impaired its Mt Dimer development assets and warns that future funding and project cash inflows are needed to support its going-concern assessment.

Condor Energy has consolidated 100% ownership of its offshore Peru acreage and moved its 1 Tcf Piedra Redonda gas discovery closer to commercialisation.

Ionic Rare Earths is pushing toward commercial magnet recycling in Belfast and the United States, but its FY2026 report flags a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

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.

The company is also sharpening its strategy around scaled growth platforms, contracted cash flows and selective new investments.

Brightstar Resources will pay A$350,000 for five Panther Metals exploration licences beside its Laverton processing plant, securing ground needed for haul roads, water infrastructure and future tailings capacity.

Livium says lithium-ion battery collections in the first two months of FY27 have already surpassed every quarter of FY26, led by 77 tonnes received under its Sell & Parker agreement.

Equus Energy has completed Pre-FEED on its large North West Shelf gas project and signed a conditional 10-year gas sales agreement with Alcoa.

Elevra Lithium is positioning its Québec operations for a near-doubling in spodumene concentrate capacity, while guiding to modest production growth and sharply higher capital spending in FY27.
