Argosy Minerals says laboratory-scale crystallisation testing has demonstrated a potential lithium chloride product yield above 99% at its 12,000-tonne-per-year Rincon project in Argentina.

American Tungsten & Antimony has produced antimony ingot from Arizona-mined material at its Nevada refinery, providing the first physical demonstration of its proposed US mine-to-metal chain.

New Hope Corporation Limited (ASX:NHC) has lifted its reported coal resources to 2.96 billion tonnes, driven by major model updates at Bengalla and New Acland.

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.

The company highlighted a potential residential expansion at Chatswood Chase alongside strong occupancy, modest gearing and a large development pipeline.
