The money is not yet available: financial close, first drawdown and other conditions precedent remain outstanding.

Amplitude Energy has intersected at least 60 metres of gas-bearing Waarre C sandstone at its Juliet-1 exploration well, including 49 metres of interpreted high-quality net pay. The result is ahead of schedule and budget, but commercial recoverability, gas composition and deliverability remain unconfirmed.

Select Harvests expects a near-record FY26 almond crop and stronger pool pricing, but wet-weather harvesting has pushed operational costs to A$13.9 million. Net debt is forecast below A$65 million at year-end, leaving the key earnings impact for the full-year results.

Prescient Therapeutics has given shareholders another week to participate in its A$7 million share purchase plan, citing delayed documentation and requests for more time. The capital raising is intended to fund PTX-100 through a planned December 2026 Dose Optimisation Committee meeting.

The ASX-listed producer says it has received no legal notice and will begin its formal defence when Brazilian courts resume on September 8.

Titan Minerals has extended high-grade gold-silver mineralisation at its Dynasty project in Ecuador and reported broad infill results that could support resource classification upgrades. The company is adding drilling capacity ahead of a Mineral Resource Estimate and Scoping Study targeted for the first quarter of 2027.

Barton Gold has secured approval for the environmental scope governing development studies at its Tunkillia gold and silver project in South Australia. The milestone moves the project towards a Mining Lease application, with updated resources, Ore Reserves and a pre-feasibility study targeted for the first quarter of 2027.

Sky Metals has identified high-grade tungsten mineralisation at the Theirman Mines Prospect, 20 kilometres north of its Tallebung project in NSW. The results validate historical sampling and move the prospect towards drilling within weeks, although the evidence remains limited to surface rock chips.

Recharge Metals has identified materially higher tungsten grades in selected re-assayed pulps from its Brandy Hill South copper project in Western Australia. The results strengthen the case for a broad Cu-W-Mo system, but the most important evidence still sits in more than 1,000 samples awaiting testing.

Gryphon Capital Income Trust has secured firm commitments for an $86.25 million wholesale placement, giving the fund fresh capital for incremental portfolio management. A further unit purchase plan of up to $30,000 per existing unitholder is also planned for the coming months.

Core Lithium has produced its first spodumene concentrate from the recommissioned Finniss processing plant, reaching its September-quarter target within six months of the restart decision. The plant is not yet at steady-state production, with optimisation continuing ahead of a targeted first shipment in the December quarter.

Black Cat Syndicate has appointed mining veteran Chris Stone as Acting Managing Director, with the interim arrangement beginning immediately and running indefinitely. Stone will earn $600,000 a year plus superannuation while the company searches for a permanent appointment.

Cazaly Resources has extended anomalous gold mineralisation more than 400 metres south at Hastings, including a shallow 7-metre zone grading 1.2g/t. The company now plans 2,500 metres of RC drilling at Hastings and an initial test of unverified historical high-grade results at Gulls Blow.

Krakatoa Resources has reported high-grade gold and antimony results from the first batch of its 2026 Zopkhito drilling assays, including 1.8 metres at 11.09 g/t gold and 3.56% antimony. The results support continuity at Vein 6 and identify mineralisation outside the project’s existing foreign estimate, but remain exploration results pending further drilling and a JORC assessment.

Sunshine Metals says refurbishment of its Mt Moss processing facility in north Queensland remains on schedule for commissioning and first gold in mid-2027. Construction is expected to begin in October or November, subject to final design work, tenders and contracts.

Power Minerals has secured priority-project treatment from Minas Gerais for its Morro do Ferro rare earths project, directing future licensing through a specialised state pathway. The agreement improves institutional access but stops well short of environmental approval, project finance or a construction timetable.

Nordic Resources is heading into a key investor conference with a 1.23Moz gold-equivalent resource base, expanding Kopsa mineralisation and a near-term resource update in prospect. The company says it has A$8.5 million in cash and no debt to fund its next drilling phase.

Trek Metals has reported a second batch of shallow, high-grade manganese assays from Kuro, including 7 metres at 40.2% Mn from just 7 metres. The results bring the discovery into a larger 2,500-metre Phase 2 drilling campaign targeting geophysical anomalies across the Christmas Creek project.

Diablo Resources has exercised its option over 101 patented claims covering the historic Horn Silver Mine in Utah, bringing its broader 202-claim, 13.2 square kilometre project package together. The company will now rank targets, advance permitting and prepare for a maiden Horn Silver drilling program in 2026.

Chalice Mining has confirmed a broad copper-silver-gold system at its Deep Blue target in Western Australia, with first-pass drilling extending across 1.2km of strike. The early results are low grade, but the system remains open within a largely untested 30km exploration belt.

Sun Silver has intersected silver-gold mineralisation from surface at its Maverick Silver Project in Nevada, including a higher-grade 1.5-metre zone grading 75 g/t AgEq. The results also extend the project’s antimony story and could influence future mine sequencing studies, although the shallow mineralisation remains only lightly tested.

Activeport says revenue across Software, Network and Services is tracking above FY26 average levels in the opening quarter, while a completed restructure has cut annualised costs by $2 million. Underlying quarterly cash consumption is also reported to be 34% lower, although the company has not disclosed absolute revenue or cash figures.

Red Hill Minerals has more than doubled FY2026 net profit to A$20.1 million as its Onslow Iron royalty delivered A$28.8 million in income. The ASX-listed miner declared a fully franked final dividend of 10.8 cents per share, taking FY2026 distributions to 22.4 cents per share.

RemSense has secured two new awards to deploy its virtualplant technology across Woodside-operated offshore platforms in Bass Strait, taking its Australian footprint with the energy major to ten assets.
