Auravelle Metals has reported encouraging gold results at Sheoak and expanded its Crown project, but its FY2026 annual report flags a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company lost A$3.98 million, used A$4.07 million in operating cash and held A$632,721 at year end before completing a further A$1.5 million placement.

New Talisman Gold Mines has outlined a conceptual exploration target of up to 550,000 ounces of gold beyond its existing 350,000-ounce gold-equivalent resource at the Talisman Project. The company now plans 18 to 20 drillholes in calendar Q1 2027 to test six priority mineralised structures.

Heartland Group Holdings (NZX: HGH, ASX: HGH) more than doubled FY2026 net profit as margins widened, asset quality improved and its proposed TSB merger moved towards a shareholder vote. The bank also reported a 16% fall in restated emissions, though much of its climate-risk work remains incomplete or estimate-driven.

Hallenstein Glasson delivered a sharp lift in FY2026 profit as sales, margins and Australian trading strengthened. The NZX-listed retailer also raised its full-year dividend to 69 cents per share, while warning that early FY2027 sales growth is unlikely to persist at the same pace.
