Latest Underwriting News

Legacy Minerals enters FY2027 with a larger Mt Carrington resource, a positive preliminary development study and fresh drilling underway, but the proposed mine still requires substantial funding. The ASX-listed explorer reported a A$1.85 million FY2026 loss and held A$6.07 million in cash at year-end.

Kalgoorlie Gold Mining has opened a fully underwritten 1-for-10 entitlement offer priced at 2 cents a share, targeting about A$1.1 million for exploration and working capital. The offer completes a broader A$3.4 million capital raising, but also increases the company’s share count by up to 10%.

Barys Resources has opened a 1-for-1 renounceable entitlement offer priced at $0.01 a share, targeting gross proceeds of up to approximately $2.6 million. The partially underwritten raise is scheduled to close on 7 October 2026.

Tungsten Mining has secured firm commitments for a $50 million placement at $0.32 a share, giving its Watershed tungsten project fresh funding as it moves toward a final investment decision. The raise comes at a discount to recent market prices and will also support the company’s broader project portfolio.

McLaren Minerals has moved its flagship McLaren Titanium Project into bankable feasibility, backed by a 529 million tonne resource and a 663-hole drilling campaign. But the pre-revenue explorer remains reliant on further funding, with the Barossa acquisition still conditional and 118.4 million options issued after year-end.

Flynn Gold has returned to trading with a one-for-three renounceable rights issue priced at A$0.015, seeking up to approximately A$3 million for Tasmanian exploration. Only A$1.5 million is underwritten, leaving the final proceeds dependent on shareholder participation and shortfall demand.

SQX Resources has raised $2.468 million before costs through a fully underwritten entitlement offer, with most new shares to be issued to the underwriter and sub-underwriters. The capital will fund exploration across its US and Queensland projects, but the deal will also expand the share count by almost 37.5%.

WCM Global Growth has secured full underwriting for its $6.5 million Dividend Reinvestment Plan tied to a fully franked 2.35 cents per share final dividend. The issue price is due on 22 September, with the new shares scheduled for issue eight days later.

Impact Minerals has completed its renounceable rights issue, raising $2.205 million before costs to fund work on its Lake Hope and Alluminous high-purity alumina projects. The raise also brings a substantial new pool of quoted options, while leaving room for further shortfall placements.

ABx Group has locked in approximately $4.1 million through a placement and fully underwritten share purchase plan, with strategic partner Good Importing International committing $1 million. The funding will support the Deep Leads rare earths project and construction and commissioning of the ALCORE pilot plant, but comes with substantial new equity and options.

Vicinity Centres used its 2026 Capability Showcase to make the case for a more concentrated, premium retail portfolio, led by Chadstone and Chatswood Chase. The presentation also set out development returns, balance-sheet capacity and a sizeable residential option beside Chatswood Chase, although much of the value remains dependent on stabilisation, approvals and market conditions.

Vicinity Centres has positioned portfolio premiumisation and development execution as the engine of future growth, but its Chadstone case study also shows how quickly valuation assumptions can alter project returns. The company highlighted a potential residential expansion at Chatswood Chase alongside strong occupancy, modest gearing and a large development pipeline.
