Apollo Minerals has completed a 180-line-kilometre airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over its Couflens tungsten-gold project in France, with the work conducted alongside the French Geological Survey. The data is still being processed, but it could help shape the next phase of exploration, including planned underground drilling at the Véronique zone.

Alma Metals has intersected 383.8 metres at 0.25% copper from just 10.2 metres at its Briggs project, including a higher-grade 76.7-metre zone at 0.34%. The result supports the company’s effort to upgrade parts of the resource ahead of a pre-feasibility study, although the intersection remains a downhole measurement and ended in mineralisation.

Microba shareholders would own about 67% of an enlarged Genetic Signatures under a proposed all-scrip merger valued at approximately A$51 million. The deal combines roughly A$29.6 million of FY2026 revenue and identifies up to A$3 million in potential annual cost synergies, but remains subject to a long list of approvals.

Kali Metals has secured up to $700,000 in exploration funding from Japan’s JX Advanced Metals for its 1,413 square kilometre Southern Lachlan project. The agreement creates a pathway to a potential farm-in or joint venture, but no formal deal has yet been agreed.

Five of nine diamond holes at Minrex's Barje deposit have returned the widest and highest-grade intersections drilled there, challenging the historical model of a low-grade central corridor. The results arrive ahead of a maiden JORC resource estimate planned for next quarter.

Iron Road’s largest shareholder has distributed its remaining 59.72% stake just as the company prepares to restart delayed nickel-copper-gold drilling at Irria. The transition also includes the November retirement of long-serving chief executive Larry Ingle, with no successor named.

Tungsten Mining has secured firm commitments for a $50 million placement at $0.32 a share, giving its Watershed tungsten project fresh funding as it moves toward a final investment decision. The raise comes at a discount to recent market prices and will also support the company’s broader project portfolio.

Jindalee Lithium has filed a third amended US registration statement after a second round of SEC comments, keeping its proposed US Elemental Nasdaq listing targeted for the fourth quarter. The transaction still depends on SEC effectiveness, shareholder approval, Nasdaq clearance, funding and other closing conditions.

Simble Solutions is extending its NanoSensor technology into terrestrial solar monitoring, using its existing SimbleSense and CarbonView platforms as a potential route to commercialisation. The opportunity remains at the benchmark-testing stage, with space-based solar identified as a longer-term possibility rather than an immediate product or revenue stream.

CZR Resources has pushed back its shareholder meeting on the proposed Zuleika Gold acquisition and extended its takeover offer by 30 days. The offer now closes on 6 November, while its defeating conditions remain unresolved.

Legacy Minerals has identified three untested induced polarisation targets at its Rockley project in NSW, led by an 800m zone with chargeability of up to 45mV/V. The priority target sits beneath surface copper, gold and silver anomalies, but drilling remains under consideration rather than committed.

Magnum Mining has completed a 10,000-metre auger programme at its Piracanjuba North ionic adsorption clay rare earths project in Brazil, shifting its focus to a 32.5km² plateau zone. The company is targeting a maiden JORC 2012 Mineral Resource Estimate in November, but the project remains at an early exploration stage with no declared resource or reserve.

FFI Holdings lifted underlying pre-tax profit 6.8% to $4.62 million in FY2026, while food manufacturing delivered stronger earnings and operating cash flow rebounded sharply. The ASX-listed group now plans a $5.1 million factory and warehouse development in Cockburn, funded from existing resources.

Canterbury Resources has reported a broad copper-molybdenum intercept at Briggs while early core observations suggest its John Hill deposit may extend beyond the current resource boundary. The results support ongoing resource upgrades and feasibility work, but John Hill assays are still pending.

Cannindah Resources has reported preliminary NovaCell testwork recovering 94% of copper and 92% of silver at a substantially coarser grind, while rejecting 82% of processed material. The results could support a higher-throughput, lower-energy processing route, although gold recovery and concentrate quality still require further work.

Many Peaks Minerals has extended the tested vertical depth of gold mineralisation at its Ferké project by about 70%, with a deepest intercept returning 40.3 metres at 3.89g/t gold. The results support a planned resource update and preliminary assessment of underground mining, but remain exploration results outside the current resource.

Gold Hydrogen has advanced Ramsay drilling, testing and commercial studies, but its annual report carries a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The pre-revenue explorer ended FY2026 with $9.42 million in cash after spending heavily on exploration.

Advance Metals has recorded its strongest silver assay yet at the Gavilanes Project in Mexico, with drilling also returning the project’s highest-grade zinc-lead interval. The mineralised system remains open at depth and to the southwest, while metallurgical work and further drilling target a maiden JORC resource in the December quarter of 2026.

Rhythm Biosciences has completed the first phase of transferring its ColoSTAT blood test to an independent NHS laboratory in England. The milestone supports its international laboratory-partnership strategy, but clinical validation and NHS adoption remain ahead.

Waratah Minerals has reported its strongest drilling result to date at the Spur Gold Discovery, with a deep hole returning 46 metres at 7.27 g/t gold. The result extends the Consols Zone and supports four high-grade footwall domains, although the project remains at an early exploration stage.

Nanoveu has received the first packaged engineering samples of its 16nm ECS-DoT edge AI chip from TSMC, moving the program from design files to physical silicon. The next test is whether the added memory, radio and accelerators deliver the power and performance promised on paper.

Rox Resources is pitching Youanmi as a fully funded, near-term gold producer while outlining an ambition to lift output beyond 150,000 ounces a year. The mine’s initial plan remains materially smaller, with first gold targeted for mid-2027 and average production of about 117,000 ounces a year.

Adavale Resources has lifted its Parkes Project gold inventory to 383,300 ounces, led by a 228% increase at London-Victoria after an 85-hole drilling campaign. The company is now moving from resource definition towards metallurgical testing and a Scoping Study, although no production decision or project economics has been disclosed.

McLaren Minerals has moved its flagship McLaren Titanium Project into bankable feasibility, backed by a 529 million tonne resource and a 663-hole drilling campaign. But the pre-revenue explorer remains reliant on further funding, with the Barossa acquisition still conditional and 118.4 million options issued after year-end.
