Verbrec has secured approximately A$22 million of water and wastewater infrastructure awards since the start of FY2027, led by a NZ$15.1 million headworks project in New Zealand. The contracts extend into FY2028 and support the company’s existing FY2027 revenue guidance, although margins and cash-flow timing remain undisclosed.

Firebird Metals has produced 99.999% ultra-high-purity manganese sulphate at its Hunan pilot plant and started processing ore from its Western Australian Oakover project. The next test is whether the result can be independently replicated with Australian feedstock before the Perth demonstration plant begins commissioning in 2027.

Vysarn delivered another year of rapid earnings growth, with revenue rising 31% and net profit after tax climbing 41% to $15.11 million.

Gold Corporation, trading as The Perth Mint (ASX:GCB), reported a record $100.19 million profit before tax for 2025-26 and recommended its largest-ever dividend to the Western Australian Government. The result was powered by extraordinary precious-metals demand and prices, but the company’s own budget points to a much leaner year ahead.
