Surefire Resources has lodged a prospectus for up to 266.6 million new options, although only $90,593 will be raised upfront. The proposed issue would more than quintuple the company’s options on issue and leaves shareholders facing a key approval vote in November.

NTAW Holdings improved margins, reduced inventory and cut gross debt in FY2026, but remained loss-making as revenue fell sharply after the loss of key distribution rights. Management is targeting modest growth in FY2027 while covenant obligations and cash generation remain central tests.

DGL Group’s FY26 annual report lays bare a difficult year: revenue and underlying earnings fell, statutory losses widened and the auditor issued a qualified opinion over opening inventory. Management is betting on cost cuts, fuller facilities and a new liquid waste plant to repair performance in FY27.

Burgundy Diamond Mines has acknowledged breaching ASX Listing Rule 10.1 by entering three related-party diamond purchase agreements without prior shareholder approval. The transactions were later ratified, but an independent expert found the dealings were not fair, although the inventory was sold at fair market value.

New Zealand Rural Land Company’s 75%-owned partnership has conditionally agreed to sell five Hawke’s Bay orchards for $18.84 million, as uncertainty from the Kiwi Crunch administration continues to cloud FY26 earnings. Completion depends on Overseas Investment Office consent.

Patagonia Lithium has corrected its Well 8 announcement, confirming a 72-hour pumping rate of about 2,043 litres per hour and rapid aquifer recovery at its Cilon project in Argentina. The pumped brine is estimated to have contained 29kg to 33.7kg of lithium, although the figure is an inferred assay-based estimate rather than a resource or production measure.

Emyria’s FY26 annual report shows a rapidly expanding psychedelic-assisted care network, with revenue up 210% and treatment capacity reaching 18 beds across four states. The gains came alongside a larger loss, $4.6 million in operating cash outflow and an auditor-highlighted material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue without further funding.

Coda Minerals has moved Elizabeth Creek closer to a targeted first-quarter 2027 pre-feasibility study, backed by improved leach recoveries, drilling and fresh funding. But the copper developer remains loss-making, burned A$8.87 million in operating cash and will likely need further capital to progress beyond the study stage.

Simonds Group delivered a sharp FY26 earnings rebound, with NPAT rising 950% to $10.5 million as revenue, site starts and margins all improved. The annual report also flags a qualified sustainability reporting outcome and a new Western Australian venture that will require execution and cash.

Inghams Group Limited (ASX:ING) returned to poultry volume growth in FY26, but rising costs, a tax dispute and weaker earnings sharply reduced shareholder returns. The company enters FY27 with lower net debt, elevated leverage and a value-led turnaround strategy still to prove itself.

WCM Global Growth Limited (ASX:WQG) lifted its fully franked final dividend after posting a $66.7 million FY2026 profit and expanding its asset base by 31%. The portfolio lagged its benchmark for the year, but long-term returns remained ahead.

TZ Limited is still seeking funding after failing to complete its shortfall share placement, with $1.3 million in debt and vendor obligations due. The company says a management restructure, cost cuts and commercial opportunities could improve cash generation, but several forecasts remain conditional.

Aspen Group delivered a sharp rise in FY26 earnings and distributions, then lifted its FY27 targets despite a softer residential sales market. The property group is expanding its affordable rental and development platform, but debt and valuation sensitivity are rising with it.

Medical Developments International returned to EBIT profitability in FY26 as Penthrox volumes strengthened across Australian hospitals and Europe. The company now faces the less glamorous test of converting regulatory progress into repeatable demand while absorbing weaker Respiratory sales and new amortisation costs.

CVC Limited (ASX:CVC) ended FY26 with $87.7 million in cash after a major Laverton sale, debt refinancing and a decision to abandon a $124 million property settlement. The stronger liquidity position came alongside a 541.7% rise in underlying NPAT, although earnings remain dependent on lumpy property realisations and planning approvals.

Range International has opened a 1-for-1 entitlement offer priced at A$0.09 a share, seeking about A$1.69 million to expand its rental pallet fleet and repay debt. Shareholders who do not participate could see their ownership halve if the offer is fully subscribed.

Astral Resources has more than doubled the Spargoville project’s mineral resource to 281,000 ounces after reinterpreting four deposits and applying a larger optimised pit shell. The update lifts the group’s reported mineral resource to 2.21 million ounces, but remains a resource estimate rather than an ore reserve or production declaration.

Pioneer Minerals is pursuing staged options over a 3,477-hectare Argentina gold-copper-silver project where historical drilling returned broad, high-grade polymetallic intervals. The proposed acquisition is paired with an A$1.8 million funding package, but both the transaction and most of the capital raise require shareholder approval.

Kaiser Reef produced 6,263 ounces of gold in the September quarter and lifted its cash and bullion balance to A$40 million. The company is also set to repay the remaining Auramet gold loan this month, although Henty output remains below management’s target.

Mastermyne has secured a two-year mining services contract tied to the proposed restart of Tahmoor mine in NSW, with gross revenue of approximately $80 million. Two further extension options could lift the total to approximately $240 million over six years and take its workforce beyond 1,000.

Amaero has released A$2.961 million of restricted cash after renegotiating its EXIM loan, while its proposed US IPO moves through an amended SEC filing. Preliminary September figures show revenue of up to A$5.833 million, but operating cash use remained close to A$9 million.

Electro Optic Systems has signed its largest-ever contract, worth £370 million or about A$700 million, to deploy a nation-wide counter-drone network in an unnamed Gulf state. The opportunity is substantial, but remains conditional on guarantees, an advance payment, export licences and further consents.

Aurum Resources has reported further gold mineralisation across three Boundiali targets, including a high-grade 5.85-metre intercept at BMT3. The 60-hole program is designed to expand the resource, upgrade confidence and support a maiden estimate for BMT2 ahead of an early fourth-quarter update.

AXP Energy has conditionally agreed to acquire seven previously producing Oklahoma wells, surrounding leases and production infrastructure for US$225,000, with a proposed US$1.05 million recompletion program. The transaction could expand AXP’s Oklahoma footprint and support earlier production, but completion, technical results and abandonment liabilities remain unresolved.
