Infinity Metals has reported a sharply smaller FY2026 loss as it shifts its exploration focus towards the United States and Australia. The pivot follows rejection of its San José mining licence application, a A$2.25 million placement and a growing portfolio of early-stage copper, molybdenum and tin targets.

North Stawell Minerals has extended a steep west-dipping gold-bearing structure at Darlington with a 0.5-metre intercept, though the latest grade is well below nearby high-grade results. The company says the trend remains open at depth and along strike, with further drilling needed to test its potential scale.

Neurotech International has dosed the first patient in its pivotal Phase 3 Beyond Harmony study of NTI164, moving the autism therapy into its most consequential clinical test yet. The trial plans to enrol up to 200 children across six Australian sites, but no Phase 3 efficacy data are available at this stage.

Eastern Resources has placed its Queensland Marengo Gold Project at the centre of its exploration strategy after 54 of 60 rock-chip samples returned more than 0.1 ppm gold, including a peak of 12.3 ppm. The company remains an early-stage explorer, with no JORC Mineral Resource yet defined and A$3.27 million in cash at year-end.

Kalamazoo Resources has expanded its wholly owned Mt Piper exploration footprint in Central Victoria to 1,574 square kilometres, securing continuous coverage over a 15km structural corridor. Early drilling has confirmed gold-antimony anomalism at Whiteheads Hill, but the results remain reconnaissance-stage and sub-economic.

Dart Mining has confirmed high-grade tin in four selective rock-chip samples from its Walwa project in Northeast Victoria, including 3.96% tin with elevated tantalum and niobium. The results strengthen the case for maiden diamond drilling planned for October, but do not establish representative grades or a mineral resource.

The Supreme Court of Victoria has approved FleetPartners’ $27 million settlement of shareholder class action proceedings. The company says available insurance proceeds will cover the full amount, with no admission of liability.

Falcon Metals has started its first-ever drilling at the Olsen Well gold target in Western Australia, expanding the campaign to approximately 6,000 metres after a recent capital raising. The program will test the central portion of a 5.8-kilometre gold-in-soil anomaly supported by rock-chip results of up to 6.42 grams per tonne gold.

Aureka Resources has reported high-grade gold mineralisation beyond the current inferred resource at its Irvine project in Victoria, including a 4.74g/t intercept at depth and the first significant results from a 2km gap between established lodes. The results expand the exploration story, but remain early-stage drilling data with further assays pending.

GenusPlus has secured an approximately $160 million contract to deliver balance-of-plant works for a 400 MW / 1.86 GWh battery project at Wodonga, Victoria. Construction is scheduled for completion in late 2028, although the announcement also refers to delivery over the next 18 months.

Infinity Mining has extended the gold anomaly at its Tanjil Dome project in Victoria to about 1km and identified a separate 1.5km anomalous trend at Good Hope. Surface samples returned up to 3.70 g/t gold at Tanjil Dome and 12.91 g/t from a Good Hope mullock sample, with trenching and drilling now planned.

Falcon Metals has confirmed high-grade gold and visible gold across a 750-metre strike at the Lotus Zone, including intercepts of up to 64.0g/t. The result keeps Blue Moon open to the north, while three diamond rigs continue testing the broader Bendigo-style system.
