Cleo Diagnostics has moved its pre-surgical ovarian cancer test into formal Analytical Validation, a key regulatory step before its planned FDA 510(k) submission in the first half of 2027. The three-batch program is expected to take about three months, but no validation results have yet been reported.

Arena REIT says Edge Early Learning has agreed or signed term sheets to sell a further 22 centre businesses, including all seven remaining Edge-operated centres at Arena properties. Rent continues to flow across the 27 affected properties, but operator changes still require due diligence, approvals and lease assignments.

Turaco Gold has reported one of its strongest Woulo Woulo intercepts, with 56 metres at 3.87g/t gold including 16 metres at 10.19g/t. The results extend a high-grade structural shoot beneath the existing resource and trigger another six-hole deep drilling campaign.

Ore Resources has added 408.87 square kilometres to its Kal East gold footprint in Western Australia, but all 18 new tenements remain pending. The company plans to begin 3,000-5,000 metres of aircore drilling at Mt Monger in November, subject to heritage clearances.

Minerals 260 says 320 grade-control holes at Bullabulling have delivered results consistent with its 6.2Moz resource model, while infill drilling returned standout grades at Phoenix and Bacchus. The next test is whether these higher-grade zones prove continuous enough to influence mine planning and the definitive feasibility study.

Vitura Health has opened FY2027 with a sharp improvement in EBITDA and lower operating costs, while revenue growth continued across its digital health businesses. The figures are unaudited, and the company still needs to prove that the improvement can survive the wind-down of Bupa-related telehealth volumes.

Wia Gold has extended several underground targets at Kokoseb after 18,476 metres of diamond drilling returned broad and high-grade gold intercepts. The results strengthen the geological case for growth beyond the project’s maiden 0.56 million ounce underground inferred resource, although the larger exploration target remains conceptual.

Cobre has outlined a three-stage plan to lift Sierra Atacama’s copper cathode capacity from its existing configuration to 18,000 tonnes per annum, then 25,000 tonnes, with a larger 50,000-tonne case under consideration. The targets depend on refurbishment, permitting, further drilling and resource modelling.

Carma delivered a much larger operation in FY26, with revenue up 59% and gross profit doubling, but the online used-car retailer remains deeply loss-making. Its next test is converting new sourcing and reconditioning capacity into faster inventory turnover and lower cash burn.

Perpetual Resources and adviser GreenMet are assessing several US Government funding and financing pathways for the Nevada Scheelite tungsten project, as Washington prepares tighter defence sourcing rules. The interest is strategic, but no funding has been secured and the project remains without a Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve.

Nyrada has received supportive written feedback from the US FDA on its proposed pathway for taking Xolatryp into a US Phase IIa heart-attack trial. The regulator identified no major issues, but additional information and stability data are still required before the planned IND submission in the first half of 2027.

Vection Technologies has secured a multi-year framework agreement with Italian telecommunications provider Retelit Digital Service, which has committed to generate at least approximately A$19.5 million in revenue for the company by June 2030. The deal expands Vection’s route into enterprise customers across Italy and Europe, although margins and payment terms remain undisclosed.

PC Gold has extended three gold lodes north of its Spring Hill resource, including a newly identified Link-style zone with grades as high as 10.03 g/t Au. Ten of 32 RC holes remain unassayed, leaving the scale and continuity of the extensions unresolved.

Piche Resources has extended the mapped footprint of its Cerro Chacón epithermal system in Argentina, with surface rock-chip samples returning up to 10.41 g/t gold and 553.42 g/t silver. The results support continuity between La Javiela and Toro Hosco, but drilling is still needed to test grade continuity at depth.

Basin Energy has started up to seven drill holes at Rochedale in northwest Queensland, testing a new phosphorite-hosted model for heavy and magnet rare earths. The government-backed program is small and early stage, with assays due in December 2026.

Wildcat Resources ended September with A$76.1 million in cash after completing the first tranche of a A$60 million placement, giving it room to push Tabba Tabba towards its definitive feasibility study. Drilling also continued to expand Bolt Cutter Central ahead of a maiden resource targeted for Q4 2026.

Pointerra3D delivered its strongest first-quarter customer receipts on record and returned to positive operating cash flow as enterprise deployments broadened across utilities, mining, transport and infrastructure. The ASX-listed software company ended September with A$1.95 million in cash, while several larger opportunities remain at proof-of-value or pending-award stages.

Venari Minerals has exercised its option to acquire a Nevada property and private water entitlement near its Red Mountain Lithium Project for total consideration of US$400,000. The deal addresses a stated development constraint, although completion and the project’s broader economics remain ahead.

An independent ERM review has identified 22 prospective targets at Daly Resources’ Batten Project, including 11 ranked Priority 1. Hot Spring remains the lead drilling target, while a newly interpreted 12-kilometre Berjaya Corridor has emerged as the project’s most intriguing regional opportunity.

PGG Wrightson expects FY27 Operating EBITDA of approximately NZ$70 million, up from NZ$64.3 million in FY26, after an encouraging first quarter. The forecast rests on supportive commodity prices and farmer confidence, but remains exposed to input costs, weather and a planned reassessment after the second quarter.
