Scalare Partners has swung to positive EBITDA as acquisitions of Tank Stream Labs and Planet Startup lifted FY26 total income 411% to $17.9 million. The startup investor remains loss-making after sharply higher depreciation, amortisation and financing costs, while its portfolio reached $12.5 million across 25 companies.

Breakthrough Minerals has extended copper-gold mineralisation beyond the existing Turpentine resource model, with the northernmost hole returning 5 metres at 3.75% CuEq. A dedicated RC rig is due to resume drilling next week as the company tests how far the system continues.

Prescient Therapeutics has extended its Share Purchase Plan by three days after shareholders reported delays receiving application documents. The revised timetable places the offer’s results announcement just ahead of a planned briefing on the company’s PTX-100 development program.

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.

Jindalee Lithium is moving crews onto its McDermitt project in Oregon, with Phase 1 drilling of up to 100 sites scheduled to begin in late September. Its proposed US Elemental Nasdaq listing remains targeted for the fourth quarter, although the planned US$20 million to US$30 million PIPE financing is not yet binding.

JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF reported a sharp fall in operating profit as fair-value losses overwhelmed higher distribution income. The fund will also switch its underlying ETF from NYSE Arca to a London-listed vehicle, while keeping its stated investment objective and total management fees and costs unchanged.

PolyNovo delivered 16.1% revenue growth and a sharp improvement in operating cash flow in FY26, despite a lower statutory profit after a prior-year tax benefit and a fire-related write-off. The ASX-listed wound-care company now expects to lodge its U.S. PMA application for NovoSorb BTM before the end of 2026.

Cycliq has secured firm commitments for a $1.5 million placement priced at a steep discount, giving the cycling technology company cash for inventory, AI development and other priorities. The raise also comes with a substantial package of options and further dilution subject to shareholder approval.

Lithium Universe has secured selection for a proposed four-year Industry PhD project with Macquarie University and CSIRO to develop microwave-assisted recycling of end-of-life solar panels. The collaboration could strengthen the company’s technology pathway, but its grant, agreement and commercial outcomes remain unconfirmed.

American West Metals has reported thick visual copper, zinc and molybdenum mineralisation in three new holes at its West Desert Project in Utah. The strongest result came from WD26-07, but laboratory assays are still needed to establish grades and economic significance.

Element 25 has started early site works at its Butcherbird Expansion Project in Western Australia, preparing the ground for a planned 1.1Mtpa manganese operation. The milestone shifts the project from planning towards physical construction, although the main construction package is yet to be awarded.

Trek Metals has secured a nine-month option to acquire the 154-claim Matrix Manganese Project in Arizona for a total potential cash consideration of A$200,000. The deal offers a low-cost route into a US critical-minerals opportunity, but carries a significant related-party consideration because CEO Derek Marshall owns about 66.67% of the vendor.

Hancock Prospecting has agreed to invest A$8.77 million in White Cliff Minerals for a proposed 13.5% stake, giving the junior explorer fresh capital to accelerate drilling at its Rae Copper Project in Nunavut. The placement still requires shareholder approval.

Australian Rare Earths has extended its Overland carbonatite discovery roughly 5km south, with hole OV176 intersecting 130 metres of interpreted carbonatite and ending within the unit. The geological footprint now appears to track a 10km magnetic corridor, but assays will determine whether the system carries meaningful niobium and rare earth grades.

Channel Infrastructure has set the Dividend Reinvestment Plan price for its 2026 half-year dividend at NZ$3.4012 per share. The NZ$0.0725 unfranked dividend will be paid on 24 September, with participating shareholders receiving new shares at a 1% discount.

Tivan has won approval to add 50 square kilometres to its Baucau copper-gold project in Timor-Leste, securing ground over a large magnetic anomaly. The expansion comes as the company acknowledges an executive chairman’s personal X post previewed an assay announcement before ASX release and was not authorised under its disclosure policy.

Sparc Technologies has reported a 25% reduction in corrosion creep after adding HydroGraph’s Fractal Graphene to its ecosparc protective coating. The result strengthens the commercial case, but a definitive supply agreement remains conditional on longer testing due in November.

Latrobe Magnesium is shifting its growth priority to a proposed 50 ktpa magnesium plant in South Carolina, backed by 32 ktpa of non-binding customer interest and a 20-year feedstock agreement. The project carries substantial indicative economics, but still needs funding, site acquisition, feasibility work, permits and binding offtake contracts.

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.

Pilbara Gold has reported broad and high-grade gold intersections at its 2.1Moz Mt York project, including mineralisation about 100 metres below the current resource. The results support ongoing resource classification work, while deeper drilling and further assays could determine how much growth is ultimately added.

OD6 Metals has submitted a Plan of Operations covering up to 139 drill pads and bulk sampling at its Quinn Fluorspar Project in Nevada. The application moves the project towards its first systematic drilling campaign, but approval from the U.S. Forest Service remains outstanding.

Gold Mountain has returned thick, shallow rare earth intersections at Capivara, including 8 metres at 1,513 ppm TREO, while several auger holes ended near mineralisation. The company now plans deeper drilling to determine whether the strongest results continue through the saprolite profile.

AuKing Mining has approved planning for an approximately 1,000-metre diamond hole at its Tundulu Rare Earths Project in Malawi. The hole will test the depth of the carbonatite system at Nathace Hill after strong initial RC results and two deep diamond intersections.

Sarytogan Graphite has intersected 318 metres of copper mineralisation from surface at its Ilksan prospect in central Kazakhstan, including a higher-grade 15.2-metre zone grading 0.40% copper. The result extends the system identified in an earlier hole, with assays from a deeper 452-metre hole due in the coming weeks.
