The company ended September with A$121.8 million in cash and no borrowings, although its headline US$6.0 billion project valuation remains based on a preliminary study with substantial inferred resources.

Lithium Plus Minerals has outlined a six-year underground direct shipping ore operation at Lei with a post-tax NPV of A$325 million and initial project capital of A$87.7 million. The attractive economics remain dependent on approvals, funding, resource conversion and a lithium price assumption that is not secured by a binding contract.

Maggie Beer Holdings will retain Hampers and Gifts Australia after deciding third-party proposals failed to reflect the business's value.

Australian Finance Group used its 2026 AGM to highlight a stronger, less volume-dependent earnings base after statutory profit rose 39% in FY26.

Charter Hall Long WALE REIT has maintained its FY27 operating earnings and distribution guidance at 25.5 cents per security after delivering 2% FY26 growth.
