Wildcat Resources has secured firm commitments for a A$60 million institutional placement to push Tabba Tabba into engineering, site establishment and construction readiness ahead of a definitive feasibility study targeted for later in 2026. The raise strengthens funding, but part of the share issue still requires shareholder approval and the financing does not establish a final investment decision.

Western Mines Group has identified broad nickel sulphide mineralisation across six holes on the western margin of Mulga Tank, including a shallow 13m zone grading 0.41% nickel. The results also support a geological model that could guide follow-up drilling towards richer zones, ahead of a government-backed seismic survey.
