Core Lithium has moved Finniss from care and maintenance back into active mining, with first spodumene concentrate produced after year end and a December-quarter shipment targeted.

Advanced Engineered Materials is forecasting a sharp lift in second-half sales as its Quebec high-purity alumina operation moves from qualification work towards commercial production.
