Top Stories MP1 — Megaport raises A$827M to build AI inference cloud with A$459M in new GPU contracts Megaport is raising a whopping A$827 million via a fully underwritten 1-for-3.08 non-renounceable entitlement offer — one of the largest ASX tech capital raises in recent memory. Four new AI infrastructure contracts worth A$459 million in total contract value have already been secured, and the company is establishing a A$350 million on-demand GPU Pool targeting enterprise and sovereign AI markets. Pro forma Group ARR jumps to A$662.9 million, with the compute division alone hitting A$385.2 million. This is one of the biggest strategic transformations we have seen from an ASX technology company in years — Megaport is no longer just a network company. STN — Saturn Metals delivers record 26% resource upgrade at Apollo Hill, lifting gold inventory to 2.83 million ounces Saturn Metals has delivered a record 26% resource upgrade at Apollo Hill in WA — the largest single increase in the project’s history — adding 590,000 ounces to push total gold inventory to 2.83 million ounces following a 367-hole drilling program. The higher-confidence Measured and Indicated category now stands at 2.19 million ounces, representing 77% of the total resource — a strong foundation for a Definitive Feasibility Study and updated Ore Reserve both targeted for late 2026. Mineralisation remains open in multiple directions, so the resource could keep growing. ALD — ACCC approves Ampol’s acquisition of EG Australia with 41-site divestiture condition Ampol has received ACCC approval to acquire EG Australia for approximately $1.115 billion in cash, combining its 622-site network with EG’s 512 retail fuel sites. The condition is a divestiture of 41 sites to Metro Petroleum — already approved as the buyer, so no further regulatory hurdles remain. Ampol elected to cash-settle the scrip component rather than issue new shares, preserving full earnings accretion for existing shareholders. Targeted synergies of $65 to $80 million are on track, with the deal expected to close 30 June 2026. Mid-Tier Movers DXN — DXN landed its maiden AI high-performance computing contract — an A$8.8 million deal with a US-listed neo-cloud operator to build a 1.36MW modular data centre, with manufacturing starting immediately at its Welshpool facility. The pilot is explicitly structured as a proof-of-concept with the customer flagging intent to scale to a campus programme worth potentially USD$200 million or more. Transformative potential for a small-cap. 49M — 49 Metals hit its best-ever intercept at Gold Mountain in Nevada’s Walker Lane — 9.1 metres at 21.9 g/t gold within a broader 27.4 metre hit at 8.3 g/t. The company interprets this as a structurally controlled feeder structure that could significantly expand the scale of the epithermal gold system, with four more holes still awaiting assay. ACF — Acrow’s Industrial Access division smashed through $200 million in revenue for FY26, up roughly 50% on the prior year, driven by organic growth and two acquisitions performing ahead of expectations. The division has already locked in circa $180 million of FY27 revenue including a renewed Glencore contract — strong earnings visibility heading into the new financial year. EQR — EQ Resources received board approval for a A$39 million expansion at its Mt Carbine tungsten mine in Queensland that will double crushing capacity to 2 million tonnes per annum by Q3 FY2027. The project adds an initial 500 tungsten trioxide tonnes per annum and is fully internally funded — no dilution required. MX1 — Micro-X captured the world’s first Carbon Nanotube Cone Beam CT human brain images at Royal Melbourne Hospital — a genuine world-first in its miniature head CT scanner for stroke diagnosis. A blind multi-centre pilot study across 108 patients at four sites is now underway, and a $0.4 million MRFF milestone payment has been triggered. TVN — Tivan secured a guaranteed minimum $15 million through a $10 million option underwriting backstopped by Regal Partners and a $5 million placement to the Tuckwell family office ETFS Capital at $0.30 per share — funding accelerated development across its Australian and Timor-Leste projects with no equity discount on the placement. Rapid Fire * SMX — Strata Minerals completed Phase 2 drilling at Zelica Gold in WA with a 94% hit rate across 17 holes — best intercept 12 metres at 2.08 g/t gold — with a maiden JORC resource and development partner already secured and less than 15% of the 9.5 kilometre corridor tested. * GML — Gateway Mining returned 10 metres at 2.2 g/t gold including 2 metres at 9.2 g/t at the new Celia South prospect, extending its Yandal system 20 kilometres south. RC drilling kicks off 15 June. * VYS — Vysarn is acquiring WA irrigation and water infrastructure business NewGround for up to $25 million cash and 33 million shares, expected to be 25% earnings per share accretive on a pro forma basis. * PMT — PMET Resources extended its Mickel LCT Pegmatite Trend from 5.5 to 10.5 kilometres in Quebec with new caesium, lithium and tantalum discoveries — standout surface grades include 16.43% caesium oxide. * PGO — Pacgold is demerging its North Queensland gold assets into Emerald Resources-backed Manda Resources, which will assemble a 1.33 million ounce resource ahead of a minimum $21 million ASX IPO later in 2026. * CYP — Cynata received a positive EMA paediatric committee opinion for CYP-001 in acute graft versus host disease — a mandatory EU hurdle cleared, opening the path to Phase 3 trials in a market twice the size of the US. * MAP — Microba Life Sciences halted trading ahead of a material capital raise and break-even update.

Top Stories THL — thl receives revised NZ$3.10 per share cash takeover bid from BGH Capital-led consortium Tourism Holdings has received a revised non-binding indicative offer of NZ$3.10 per share in cash from a consortium of BGH Capital and the Trouchet family, who already own approximately 19.9% of thl. This is a bumped offer, signalling the acquirer is serious. The deal is conditional on due diligence, debt finalisation, BGH internal approval, and a unanimous board recommendation, with shareholders holding around 16% already expressing support for granting due diligence access. The Board is still assessing whether to engage — the revised NBIO expires 12 June if thl hasn’t responded. STG — Straker delays FY2026 results and faces trading suspension after US fraud discovery The Straker situation has escalated significantly. The company has confirmed a significant fraud involving a US-based employee and funds in its US subsidiary, Straker Translations Inc — and is now unable to release its audited FY2026 results by the 29 May deadline. Auditor BDO needs more time to assess the fraud’s impact before signing off, meaning Straker faces compulsory ASX trading suspension from 1 June 2026. The investor briefing scheduled for today has been cancelled. No dollar figure on the fraud has been disclosed yet — that number, when it comes, will be critical for anyone still holding this stock. AQD — AusQuest’s Cangallo copper-gold project delivers more large RC drill hits as major 5,000m diamond drilling program kicks off AusQuest wrapped up Stage 3 RC drilling at its Cangallo porphyry copper-gold project in Peru with standout results — 342 metres at 0.27% copper and 236 metres at 0.30% copper, with three of four holes ending in mineralisation confirming the system extends well beyond 400 metres depth. The company is now launching a plus-5,000 metre diamond drilling program targeting depths of up to 800 metres, chasing a potential high-grade hypogene copper core below current drilling. Porphyry copper systems of this scale attract major mining company attention — watch as the diamond program progresses. Mid-Tier Movers TBN — Tamboran Resources finalised its acquisition of Falcon Oil & Gas, becoming the dominant acreage holder in the Beetaloo Basin with approximately 2.8 million net prospective acres. The 2026 operating program is the most active yet — at least four wells to be drilled, five to be stimulated — and first gas sales from the Pilot Project remain on track for Q3 2026. AOF — Australian Unity Office Fund sold its final asset, 150 Charlotte Street Brisbane for $40 million, completing the full portfolio disposal. Units are suspended from 3 June and the fund delists 9 June 2026. Unitholders can expect aggregate returns of 37 to 38 cents per unit, with an initial compulsory redemption of 19-in-20 units expected before 30 June. SLC — Superloop finalised its $165 million acquisition of Lightning Broadband, adding over 56,000 secured lots across six states and roughly 16,000 active services to its FTTP network. Post-acquisition net debt sits at a comfortable 1.4 times EBITDA and the ACCC has already cleared the deal — Superloop is quietly building serious national fibre scale. GG8 — Gorilla Gold delivered more high-grade hits at the Sovereign Deposit in WA’s Comet Vale — 3.8 metres at 21 g/t and 2.1 metres at 24.8 g/t gold. The deposit hosts 410,000 ounces at 4.3 g/t with strike potentially extending beyond 2.5 kilometres, and five rigs are now turning at the North Kalgoorlie Hub. JDO — Judo Bank priced a $750 million SME loan securitisation — upsized from $500 million on strong demand — qualifying for regulatory capital relief and lifting pro forma CET1 from 12.6% to 13.2%. The deal is expected to deliver a 25 to 30 basis point uplift to FY27 return on equity, settling 4 June. AII — Almonty Industries is set to join both the Russell 1000 and Russell 3000 indices from 29 June 2026 following the annual reconstitution. With approximately $12.2 trillion benchmarked against Russell indexes, inclusion typically drives meaningful passive fund buying — a significant milestone for this Western world tungsten producer. Rapid Fire * CTT — Cettire is opening a flagship store on Alibaba’s TMall Global luxury platform targeting mainland China, adding to existing JD.com and cettire.cn channels — expected live in Q1 FY27 with no local inventory required. The company is also in a trading halt ahead of a separate material partnership announcement due before Tuesday’s open. * CCL — Cuscal completed its acquisition of New Zealand payments provider Paymark from Worldline, expecting mid-single digit EPS accretion and mid-teens return on invested capital in FY27. * MAU — Magnetic Resources set 3 June as the shareholder vote date for the Genesis Minerals acquisition scheme, with the Supreme Court of WA hearing set for 9 June — the deal is in its final stretch. * ELS — Elsight landed a US$2 million repeat order from a US public safety drone customer — more than four times the initial January purchase — validating its Halo platform in the fast-growing BVLOS market. * DXS — Dexus halted trading pending a Supreme Court of NSW judgment this morning — the nature of the proceedings hasn’t been disclosed but the outcome could be market-moving for this major property group. * EGR — EcoGraf confirmed its HFfree graphite purification process is cost-competitive across seven global locations, with a US facility modelling a pre-tax NPV of US$282 million at a 42% IRR on US$95 million capital. * AGY — Argosy Minerals hit 99% lithium chloride purity and 94.4% lithium recovery at its Rincon pilot plant in Argentina, de-risking the path to its 12,000 tonne per annum DFS.

Top Stories MEU — Marmota hits spectacular high-grade gold assays up to 41 g/t at Greenewood discovery in South Australia Marmota’s Greenewood discovery in South Australia’s Gawler Craton is throwing up extraordinary numbers. Stage 2 detailed assays include hits of 41 g/t and 40 g/t gold, with the combined maiden program now delivering 6 intersections above 40 g/t, 18 above 20 g/t, and 119 above 5 g/t. Geologists are already drawing comparisons to the Challenger gold mine discovery in 1995, which went on to produce over a million ounces. Mineralisation is confirmed open along strike and at depth, and a Stage 3 drilling program targeting major extensions is already underway — newsflow from MEU should continue to build over coming weeks. GLN — Galan Lithium completes commissioning at HMW, first processed lithium brine delivered to final evaporation ponds Galan Lithium has hit a major operational milestone — wet plant commissioning at its Hombre Muerto West project in Argentina is complete, with processed lithium chloride now flowing into final evaporation ponds. Around 10,000 tonnes LCE of brine inventory is already stockpiled to support the production ramp-up, and lithium chloride concentrate ready for sale is expected in the second half of 2026. Phase 1 capacity is also being expanded from 4,000 to 5,200 tonnes LCE per annum, with the uplift targeted for H1 2027. For GLN shareholders, this is the producer transition they have been waiting for. FEG — Far East Gold receives unsolicited A$0.13 per share cash takeover bid from Hong Kong-based Xingye Gold Far East Gold has received an unsolicited off-market takeover bid from Xingye Gold at 13 cents per share — with zero prior discussions or engagement between the two parties. The FEG board is reviewing the offer with legal and financial advisers and has told shareholders to sit tight until a formal Target’s Statement and recommendation are released. Unsolicited bids like this often signal the acquirer sees significant value the market hasn’t fully priced in — watch this space for a potential counter-offer or revised bid. Mid-Tier Movers IVZ — Invictus Energy executed a full Petroleum Production Sharing Agreement with the Republic of Zimbabwe for its Cabora Bassa Project, replacing the previous framework from 2021. The agreement includes National Project Status, Special Economic Zone status, investment protections, and formalises participation of Zimbabwe’s Mutapa Investment Fund. With the legal and fiscal framework locked in, Invictus is advancing toward its high-impact Musuma-1 exploration well targeted to spud in H2 2026 — a genuine catalyst to watch. VUL — Vulcan Energy reached Financial Close on a massive €2.2 billion — roughly $3.9 billion Australian — financing package for its Lionheart lithium project in Germany’s Upper Rhine Valley. The project targets 24,000 tonnes per annum of lithium hydroxide alongside renewable energy co-products over a 30-year mine life — a landmark moment for Australian-listed green lithium. TOK — Tolu Minerals found two brand new high-grade gold vein systems near existing Tolukuma mine infrastructure in PNG — the Fundoot Splay returned 4.67 metres at 42.76 g/t gold. Underground mining has also restarted on the 1560 Level with face sampling exceeding 31 g/t, and these results are the opening act of a planned 75,000-metre near-mine drilling campaign. CCM — Cadoux’s premiumHPA high purity alumina passed a rigorous 24-month, 7-step qualification process within the EU-funded SAFELOOP EV battery development project — validating it meets exacting purity and thermal stability standards for battery separator coatings. This positions Cadoux as a credible commercial HPA supplier and creates a direct pathway to binding offtake agreements. TGH — Terragen Holdings landed its first large-scale commercial supply deal — 360,000 probiotic doses for Ravensworth Feedlot — plus a $2.8 million industry-funded trial across 10,000 head of cattle at Australia’s largest single-site beef feedlot. If KPIs are met, management says these agreements could drive up to a 50% increase in total sales relative to FY2026 levels. GHM — Golden Horse Minerals extended its Hopes Hill gold system to over 3 kilometres of strike after drilling confirmed mineralisation more than 1,000 metres north of a previous hole, with a standout result of 12 metres at 7.0 g/t gold from 278 metres depth. Four rigs are now turning on site with further results pending across all three zones. Rapid Fire * CRR — Critical Resources hit sulphide-class solid-state electrolyte performance — 3.2 mS per centimetre ionic conductivity — without using toxic sulphur, a potentially scalable breakthrough for defence and data centre battery applications, independently verified at South Dakota School of Mines. * DVP — Develop Global is targeting a Final Investment Decision next month for an 850,000-tonne DSO lithium operation at Pioneer Dome, with infill drilling exceeding the resource model and first sales potentially in the December 2026 quarter. * ACW — Actinogen received positive EMA scientific advice for its Xanamem Alzheimer’s drug, mirroring prior FDA guidance and giving the company a clear regulatory roadmap in both major global markets — topline Phase 2b/3 results expected November 2026. * GRX — GreenX Metals unveiled a massive exploration target at its German Tannenberg copper project — up to 3.9 million tonnes of copper and 188 million ounces of silver — with active drilling and seismic surveys now being planned. * PLY — PlaySide Studios is in a trading halt pending a material update on a major external contract. Direction of the news is unknown — watch for the release before Monday’s open. * CIA — Champion Iron is also in a trading halt pending a further announcement. Given CIA’s scale as an iron ore producer, this one is worth keeping on the radar. * UOS — United Overseas Australia announced the passing of co-founder and Chairman-MD Chong Soon Kong — Pak Lim Kong has been appointed interim leader and the company says operations remain stable.

The ASX Daily Wednesday, 27 May 2026

Top Stories AA2 — Ariana Resources delivers blockbuster Dokwe PFS with post-tax NPV of US$740M and 92% IRR at US$4,250/oz gold Ariana Resources has delivered one of the most compelling junior gold project economics you will see on the ASX. The Pre-Feasibility Study for its 100%-owned Dokwe Gold Project in Zimbabwe returns a post-tax NPV of US$740 million — over A$1 billion — and a staggering 92% IRR at US$4,250 per ounce gold, with an approximate one-year payback from commissioning. The Ore Reserve has jumped 42% to 1.13 million ounces, supporting a 20-year mine life producing over one million ounces at a peak rate of 100,000 ounces per annum — all from a low pre-production capex of just US$164 million. The company is debt-free with A$53 million in cash and is targeting a Definitive Feasibility Study in Q1 2027. IG6 — IG6 signs binding JV with Italy’s Alkeemia to build a 10,000–15,000 t/y graphite processing hub in Porto Marghera, Europe International Graphite has signed a binding Joint Venture with Italian HF producer Alkeemia to build a 10,000 to 15,000 tonne per year graphite processing facility at Porto Marghera, Italy — a direct foothold in the European critical minerals supply chain. IG6 holds a 49% stake with a 50/50 profit share, while Alkeemia contributes the land, permits, infrastructure and operational workforce. Construction is targeted to begin Q3 2026 with first production expected in the second half of 2027. This is a significant strategic move for a small ASX explorer, plugging directly into European battery supply chain demand at a time when the EU is actively reducing dependence on Chinese graphite. STG — Straker confirms fraud at US subsidiary, investigation ongoing with law enforcement Straker Limited has confirmed that fraudulent transactions occurred involving bank accounts of its US subsidiary, Straker Translations Inc, and is cooperating with US law enforcement. This is the update the market was waiting for after last week’s trading halt — and critically, no financial impact or dollar amount has been disclosed. That lack of transparency will be deeply unsettling for shareholders who have no way to assess the materiality of the loss. Management says business operations are continuing as normal, but investors should watch closely for a follow-up announcement quantifying the damage. This kind of news can have a long tail. Mid-Tier Movers RCE — Recce Pharmaceuticals signed a term sheet for a 10-year exclusive licensing deal for its R327 Topical Gel across MENA markets including Saudi Arabia, GCC countries, Egypt, Algeria and Morocco, with milestone payments worth up to USD $3.5 million plus a 30% share of net selling price and a 6% royalty on net sales above USD $50 million per year. The definitive agreement is targeted for next quarter — while non-binding for now, this is meaningful commercial validation in a high-burden diabetic foot infection market of 84 million diabetes patients. SVM — Sovereign Metals confirmed the presence of high-value heavy rare earth minerals including Dysprosium, Terbium and Yttrium across four pits in the Kasiya DFS mine plan, with independent pricing suggesting a potential premium of up to US$16,000 to US$19,000 per tonne versus the current benchmark of around US$6,142 per tonne. Critically, the monazite may be recoverable from existing DFS tailings with no additional mining required — a potential third revenue stream alongside rutile and graphite that could be a material re-rating catalyst for what is already a US$2.2 billion pre-tax NPV project. MNB — Minbos Resources completed the final security agreement for its US$16 million IDC loan facility and submitted its first drawdown request for US$4.8 million to fund Phase 1 civil works and mobilise the Phase 2 construction contract for its Cabinda Phosphate Fertilizer Project in Angola. Combined with a previously announced BFA loan of US$5.48 million, remaining construction costs are now fully funded — this project is moving from development to reality. IVZ — Invictus Energy entered a trading halt pending a major update to its Petroleum Production Sharing Agreement with the Government of Zimbabwe, relating to its Cabora Bassa Basin assets which host the Mukuyu gas discovery. A PPSA update of this nature could be transformational — investors in IVZ should watch for the announcement before trading resumes on Friday 29 May. LU7 — Lithium Universe acquired an exclusive global licence for the University of Edinburgh’s patented Gold Copper Diamide Extraction process, which selectively recovers gold and copper from e-waste without high-temperature smelting. Gold content in e-waste can be up to 100 times richer than natural ore, with one tonne worth approximately US$46,320 at current prices. The acquisition complements LU7’s existing silver extraction technology from solar panel recycling, positioning the company as a broader critical and precious metals recycler. KNO — Knosys renewed its enterprise knowledge management contract with ANZ Bank for two years at a total value of $3.8 million — with the full amount paid upfront, providing a significant cash boost for a small-cap software company. The deal also involves integrating a new AI assistant into ANZ’s knowledge management portal, keeping Knosys relevant in the rapidly evolving enterprise AI space. Rapid Fire * PRX — Prodigy Gold’s Hyperion Scoping Study delivers a pre-tax NPV of A$107 million and a 63% IRR with just A$24 million upfront capex — a compelling result for a small Tanami North gold project targeting 260,000 ounces over four years. * KNI — Kuniko wrapped up Phase 1 drilling at Commonwealth-Silica Hill in NSW with spectacular results including 0.5 metres at 346.7 g/t gold equivalent — Phase 2 drilling kicks off in early July targeting step-out extensions and deeper high-grade zones. * BAS — Bass Oil secured a $3.5 million South Australian government grant to develop its Kiwi liquids-rich gas field, with 25% of funds advanced immediately — cornerstone funding for a field that previously flowed 4.1 million cubic feet of gas per day. * A3D — Aurora Labs upgraded its relationship with missile maker MBDA — €44 billion order backlog — from an MOU to a formal three-year Teaming Agreement for 3D-printed turbojet engine technology targeting European and Australian defence markets. * EMV — EMVision’s portable brain scanner passed a real-world aeromedical test with the Royal Flying Doctor Service across 13 patient transfers up to 371 kilometres from Adelaide, with the company also receiving its final $400,000 milestone payment from the Australian Stroke Alliance. * BDM — Burgundy Diamond’s Arctic Canadian subsidiary had its court-approved insolvency stay extended to July 28 with DIP financing approved — a formal sales process for the Ekati diamond mine is now underway. * E25 — Element 25 locked in long-term mining and haulage contracts with ReGroup for its Butcherbird Manganese Expansion Project, targeting 1.1 million tonnes per annum with commissioning on track for Q1 2027.

The ASX Daily Tuesday, 26 May 2026

Top Stories BTR — Brightstar Resources approves Final Investment Decision for Goldfields Project, commencing construction of 1.5Mtpa Laverton gold plant targeting first gold in Q2 2027 Brightstar Resources has made its Final Investment Decision for the Goldfields Project in Western Australia, executing a $110 million EPC contract with GR Engineering Services to build a 1.5 million tonne per annum processing plant at Laverton. The project is fully funded via a A$193 million equity raising and US$120 million bond financing, with first gold production targeted for the June quarter 2027. At a pre-tax NPV of A$606 million, a 74% IRR, and approximately A$1.0 billion in forecast free cash flow over a six-year mine life producing around 75,000 ounces per year, this is a well-structured project moving from decision to dirt. ALX — Atlas Arteria board unanimously recommends shareholders REJECT IFM’s unsolicited takeover bid Atlas Arteria’s Independent Directors have lodged a formal Target’s Statement with ASIC, unanimously recommending securityholders reject IFM’s off-market takeover bid from Diamond Infraco 1 Pty Ltd. The board is telling shareholders to simply ignore all documents from IFM — effectively the strongest possible language in a target’s statement. Meanwhile IFM has confirmed the bid has cleared EU and US HSR regulatory hurdles, keeping the offer alive despite board opposition. This is shaping up as a classic hostile takeover battle, and with IFM already holding 34.48% of the register, the outcome will turn on whether remaining institutional holders side with the board or take the cash. STK — Strickland Metals boosts Gradina gold resource 50% to 1.8Moz, lifting total Rogozna project to 9.24Moz AuEq Strickland Metals has delivered a 50% resource increase at its Gradina Deposit in Serbia, lifting it to 1.8 million ounces of gold at 2.8 g/t. That pushes the total Rogozna Project to 9.24 million ounces of gold equivalent across four deposits — firmly Tier-1 territory. The deposit remains open in all directions with the company holding around $81 million in cash, and further drilling and resource growth look very likely ahead. Mid-Tier Movers GGP — Greatland Resources received both State and Commonwealth environmental approvals for its Havieron gold-copper project in Western Australia, clearing the final regulatory hurdle before a Final Investment Decision targeted this June quarter. Once in steady state, Havieron is expected to produce around 270,000 ounces of gold per year at lowest-quartile costs over a 17-year mine life — a genuinely significant project for the WA goldfields. AGR — Aguia Resources received its commercialisation licence from Brazil’s Ministry of Agriculture, allowing its Pampafos phosphate project to begin invoicing and selling product immediately. Plant commissioning kicked off on 22 May at 24 tonnes per hour with first truck deliveries expected by 1 June, and Pampafos is priced around 30% cheaper than imported MAP on a nutrient-adjusted basis — a meaningful competitive advantage at a time when Strait of Hormuz disruptions have elevated imported phosphate prices. BML — Boab Metals executed a $109 million EPC contract with GR Engineering for the Sorby Hills Silver-Lead Project in WA, with the scope involving relocating and refurbishing the DeGrussa processing facility. Commercial concentrate production remains on schedule for H2 2027 — and GR Engineering has now landed two major EPC contracts in a single day worth a combined $219 million. NSB — NeuroScientific Biopharmaceuticals reported an 80% clinical response rate — four out of five patients — treated with its StemSmart stem cell therapy for fistulising Crohn’s disease under the TGA Special Access Scheme, with no serious adverse events. A pivotal Phase 2 trial in Australia is being developed to commence in the second half of 2026, targeting a ~US$13 billion global market. VMM — Viridis Mining produced its first batch of Mixed Rare Earth Carbonate from its Colossus Demonstration Plant in Brazil — one of the largest semi-industrial ionic clay rare earth facilities outside China. The milestone opens the door to supplying product samples to offtake partners and validating DFS parameters, with commercial-scale production targeted for 2028. PHO — PhosCo cracked a significant metallurgical challenge at its Gasaat Phosphate Project in Tunisia, demonstrating a simple single-stage flotation circuit can produce commercial-grade concentrate up to 31.4% P2O5 — eliminating three previously required processing steps and materially cutting both capital and operating costs ahead of an updated Scoping Study due in Q3 2026. Rapid Fire * HIO — Hawsons Iron’s PFS update delivers a 37% NPV boost to AU$1.87 billion after replacing truck haulage with a conveyor system, saving $7.42 per tonne in operating costs and improving the IRR from 10.9% to 11.9%. * OSX — Osteopore won Hainan FDA approval to sell its 3D-printed bioresorbable orthopaedic implants at one of China’s top-ranked hospitals, with the first surgery scheduled for June 2026 — a fast-track entry point into a USD 2.5 billion Chinese orthopaedic market. * MGT — Magnetite Mines replaced its MD and launched a strategic reset, shifting toward phased development and critical minerals amid funding challenges and a slower-than-expected green steel transition. * SKN — Skin Elements filed a Takeovers Panel application alleging undisclosed associates hold over 20% of shares, seeking to adjourn an EGM scheduled for 2 June that could remove directors. * LEL — Lithium Energy is selling its Queensland graphite assets to M Battery Materials for $20 million, with plans to distribute the resulting MBM shares to its own shareholders once MBM lists on the ASX. * 5EA — 5E Advanced Materials delists from the ASX today, with CDIs suspended from close of trade — investors need to convert to Nasdaq-listed stock under ticker FEAM to retain exposure. * AGC — Australian Gold and Copper is in a trading halt pending announcement of a material acquisition and capital raise, with details expected before Thursday morning.
