Latest Sustainability In It News

PainChek grew recurring revenue, implemented licences and customer sites in FY2026, but its $8.94 million loss and $9.24 million operating cash outflow prompted an explicit going-concern warning from its auditor. The company is now betting that US deployments and a sharper commercial focus can convert market access into cash-generating growth.

Delorean Corporation and Opal have completed the concept stage for a proposed anaerobic digestion facility at Opal’s Maryvale Mill in Victoria. The project could replace natural gas used by the mill’s rotary lime kiln, but still requires further engineering, commercial work and a final investment decision.

Patagonia Lithium has reported 15% total porosity and substantial free-fluid storage from Cilon Well 8, strengthening its interpretation of the aquifer’s pumping potential. The evidence is encouraging but remains incomplete, with four core results, further BMR Gamma data and a 72-hour pump test still outstanding.

Zeus Resources has completed due diligence on its Diaguili copper-gold project in southern Mauritania after regulators validated the environmental notice for exploration. The company will now proceed to the first completion stage of the acquisition, with historical drilling providing the project’s main technical attraction but also its principal qualification.

Horizon Gold’s annual report presents Gum Creek as a potential 880,000-ounce gold operation, but flags a material uncertainty over its ability to continue without further funding. The company is targeting a Final Investment Decision in Q2 2027 and first gold in the second half of 2028.

G11 Resources has expanded its exploration footprint and reported a conceptual copper Exploration Target at Wilandra, while drilling near Tasmania’s Mt Lyell system continues. The company ended the year with $4.91 million in cash but remains loss-making and reliant on future funding to sustain exploration.

Castile Resources has emerged from FY2026 with a larger Rover 1 resource, stronger preliminary project economics and A$9.37 million in cash. The next challenge is converting a A$1.07 billion pre-tax NPV8 study into a funded, permitted mining project.

Papyrus Australia moved its banana-fibre technology into early commercialisation during FY26, signing an estimated $4.2 million TBS supply contract and delivering commercial-scale samples. But the company ended the year with $257,077 cash, negative equity and an auditor-flagged material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern.

Antipodes Global SMID Fund delivered a sharp improvement in FY2026, with profit attributable to unitholders rising to $22.73 million and net assets expanding more than eightfold to $183.65 million. The fund also added a new unit class and brought its P Class units to the ASX under ticker MIDS.

Tanami Gold has entered FY27 with funding in place for a 3,500-metre underground decline at Groundrush, after raising $70.5 million and reporting a 2.8 million ounce Central Tanami resource. The project remains in the study and resource-definition phase, with no Ore Reserve or production decision yet disclosed.

Latrobe Magnesium has secured A$8.5 million in equity funding to complete its Latrobe Valley demonstration plant and advance a proposed South Carolina magnesium project. The raising gives the company near-term funding certainty, but also brings further dilution and leaves the larger US development dependent on future capital.

Bass Oil’s Bunian 6 well has confirmed oil in a previously unproduced zone, with the company targeting a potential threefold increase in Tangai-Sukananti field production. August sales also improved as Cooper Basin exports resumed, while Vanessa and Kiwi advanced toward future gas development.
