Forrestania Resources has agreed to acquire four granted Western Australian exploration licences at Skeleton Rocks for a stated $250,000 consideration. The deal remains subject to due diligence, with the company yet to choose between cash and shares as payment.

Waterco Limited (ASX:WAT) delivered record FY26 EBIT of $23.8 million and lifted net profit after tax 59.6% to $15.4 million, despite only modest revenue growth. The stronger result supports a higher fully franked dividend, but the group is carrying more debt and inventory as it expands manufacturing capacity.

KTEK Aerosystems has won a binding US$200,000 order to design an airframe component for an unnamed Israeli aerospace and defence manufacturer. The order opens a quoted US$994,100 work package and a potential US$5 million design-engineering opportunity, but almost all of that future work remains conditional.

X2M Connect has signed a non-binding two-year MOU with Gateway DC covering data centre development, delivery and platform deployment across Australia and potentially Southeast Asia. The opportunity links Gateway’s planned 120MW-to-2GW-plus Darwin roadmap with X2M’s prospective pipeline exceeding 200MW, but revenue remains subject to future binding agreements.

Iltani Resources has reported some of its strongest Orient West drilling results, including a 2-metre intercept grading 2,561 g/t silver equivalent. The company says the latest 16 holes support continuity and could underpin an expanded Mineral Resource later this year.

Jade Gas will use targeted 2D and 3D seismic to test whether its established coal-measure gas system extends into deeper CBM, shale gas and tight sandstone horizons in Mongolia. The exploration could expand TTCBM’s longer-term potential, but the company says commercialising existing resources remains the immediate priority.

Orthocell has recorded the first commercial sales of its Remplir nerve repair product in Thailand, opening a new market estimated at US$84 million. The launch gives the company another distributor-led growth channel, although near-term sales are expected to remain modest.

BOA Resources has returned high-grade copper intersections from all six initial RC holes at Ricci Lee, including 14 metres at 2.49% copper and 15 metres at 2.25%. Assays from 40 further RC holes and 92 aircore holes across five other prospects remain pending.

VHM's refreshed feasibility study projects an A$807 million pre-tax NPV for its Goschen rare earths and mineral sands project, with approvals and major procurement work substantially advanced. The project still needs financing, lender due diligence and a Final Investment Decision before construction can begin.

Neurotech International has dosed the first patient in its pivotal Phase 3 Beyond Harmony study of NTI164, moving the autism therapy into its most consequential clinical test yet. The trial plans to enrol up to 200 children across six Australian sites, but no Phase 3 efficacy data are available at this stage.

Tolu Minerals has more than doubled its reported gold resources to 1.33 million ounces after declaring a maiden 293,000-ounce resource at Mt Penck in Papua New Guinea. The project also carries a largely untested copper-gold porphyry target, but its proposed A$30 million exploration program still requires separate funding.

Unith has extended its $1.5 million secured debt facility by six months and secured $320,000 of participation in its entitlement offer shortfall at a 60% premium to the latest closing price. The arrangement provides additional time to fund the business, but leaves the company with further financing costs and an undisclosed shortfall still to place.

Liberty Metals’ maiden rock chip program at Oko North has returned four samples above 1 g/t gold, including a peak assay of 2.322 g/t. The reconnaissance results support the company’s interpretation that historical alluvial gold may be sourced from hard rock within its Guyana tenure, but drilling is still required to test continuity and scale.

Nexus Minerals has secured firm commitments for a A$5.4 million placement to fund drilling and exploration across its Wallbrook Gold Project and NSW Mineral Project. The raise is priced below recent market benchmarks and is expected to lift cash above A$8.7 million before costs.

Tambourah Metals has tightened drilling across its Tambourah King gold lode, returning several encouraging intersections ahead of a planned maiden resource estimate. Shallow results at Western Chief add a second exploration thread, although the system remains lightly tested at depth.

Metal Hawk has secured $1.2 million from sophisticated investors as RC drilling begins at the Numbat lode in Western Australia. The campaign will test whether the company’s strongest Leinster South gold intercept extends along strike and at depth.

Lightning Minerals says reconnaissance sampling has expanded the Warby Project’s interpreted tungsten system well beyond its World War I-era workings, with rock chips grading up to 5.5% tungsten. The company has fast-tracked further soil sampling to define the anomalies before selecting maiden drill targets.

Dateline Resources has filed a US court motion seeking to suspend the injunction blocking work at its Colosseum Gold and Rare Earth Project in California. The application opens a route towards resumed operations, but does not itself lift the court order.

White Cliff Minerals has reported broad, bornite-dominant mineralisation in the first-ever drilling at Bornite Hills, but laboratory assays are still weeks away. The discovery adds a new target to the Rae Copper Project, alongside a sediment-hosted copper horizon now traced across a much larger area.

LE Minerals has amended its proposed $20 million sale of three Queensland graphite projects after ASX flagged promoter and classified-asset rules that could lock up consideration shares. The cash component may now range from $2 million to $5 million, while shareholder approvals and MBM’s proposed IPO remain key execution hurdles.

Larvotto Resources has produced its first gold and antimony concentrate at the Hillgrove Mine in New South Wales, moving the project from plant commissioning towards a production ramp-up. The milestone comes with binding offtake agreements already in place with Wogen Resources and Glencore International AG.

Anson Resources has signed a non-binding MoU covering a potential five-year lithium carbonate offtake with Wogen and possible project financing support from Xcelsior. The proposed supply could reach 6,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent a year, but deliveries remain dependent on Green River being financed, permitted and built.

Sunshine Metals has upgraded the economics of its Liontown project, forecasting A$179.8 million in net operating cashflow after capital over a 66-month mine life. The study points to mid-2027 mining, but depends on approvals, Mt Moss commissioning and a preliminary plan carrying a plus or minus 30% accuracy range.

Telix will acquire ITM in a proposed US$1.65 billion deal that combines a commercial radioisotope supplier with Telix’s precision medicine and therapeutic pipeline. The transaction could give Telix greater supply-chain control and entry into a validated cancer treatment market, but it also brings dilution, integration risk and an unresolved FDA pathway for ITM-11.
