AIS — Major Increase in Tritton Mineral Resources & Ore Reserves

AIS has achieved a material 4.9× increase in Tritton Ore Reserves to 10Mt Cu-equivalent (180kt metal) via acquisition of Mallee Bull and organic growth at Avoca Tank and Budgerygar, establishing a 5+ year reserve life for the processing hub. Grades (1.7% Cu) remain solid, underpinning multi-mine long-life strategy around existing infrastructure.

💰 Ore Reserves: 10Mt @ 1.7% Cu (180kt Cu metal), +4.9x from 37kt · Mineral Resources: 33Mt @ 1.7% Cu (540kt Cu metal), +70% from 310kt · Reserve Life: >5 years mill feed at current capacity · Copper grade: 1.7% Cu (good, above 1-2% peer range)

Materiality: Reserve increase of ~143kt Cu metal equivalent on a $539m market cap (substantial for reserve life extension); acquisition-driven and organic growth both material; revised LOM plan expected H1 FY27 will clarify production upside.

Priced in? Stock down 10% over 20d and 4% over 5d into announcement; no material run-up evident, suggesting market may not have fully priced reserve expansion until now.

LRV — Staged Process Plant Commissioning Commences at Hillgrove

Staged commissioning of Hillgrove's processing plant has begun, moving from dry-end crushing through to wet-end systems, with underground ore now feeding the circuit—a major de-risking milestone toward first antimony production. The operation positions LRV as Australia's largest antimony producer, underpinned by ~4,900 t/year Sb + 40k oz/year Au forecast over 7-year mine life, pending Modification 5 approval to lift capacity to 500 t/pa.

💰 Antimony production forecast: ~4,900 tonnes/year · Gold production forecast: >40,000 oz/year · Mine life: 7 years · Processing capacity (current approved): 250,000 t/pa

Materiality: Commissioning milestone reduces execution risk materially; pending Mod 5 approval (response due end-July) will unlock the 2× throughput expansion necessary to justify the $540m market cap. Current approved 250 kt/pa baseline is already materially embedded.

Priced in? Stock down 18–20% over 5–20 days into announcement; commissioning progress is tangible but investors appear to be pricing in regulatory and ramp-up execution risks; no material run-up suggests market was not anticipating this specific milestone.

NXT — Contracted Utilisation Update

NEXTDC secured additional customer contracts raising pro forma utilisation 11% to 740MW, with 565MW forward order book expected to drive revenue and EBITDA through FY30; FY26 guidance remains unchanged, suggesting near-term delivery on prior commitments is on track.

💰 Contracted utilisation: 740MW (+73MW, +11% since April 2026) · Forward order book: 565MW · Forward order book conversion period: FY26–FY30 · Utilisation uptick since last update: 73MW

Materiality: 565MW forward order book represents substantial contracted future revenue base; represents ~76% uplift over current 175MW billing utilisation, material to medium-term cash flow visibility

Priced in? Stock down 12% over 20d and 3% over 5d into this update; near-term weakness suggests positive contract news not yet fully reflected

RIE · $5M — SRR:Sarama Completes Sale of its West Australian Gold Assets

Sarama has completed the sale of its Western Australian gold assets (Cosmo and Mt Venn projects) to Riedel Resources, retaining a significant ~32% stake and upside through performance rights while pivoting focus to its Burkina Faso arbitration claim. The transaction reduces dilution to shareholders while ensuring the divested assets receive dedicated funding under Riedel's multi-project platform.

💰 Transaction value: A$3.2m cash + shares · Sarama stake in Riedel: ~32% initial, ~44% with performance milestones · Shares issued to Sarama: 150m shares + 100m performance rights · Deemed share price: A$0.025/share

Materiality: A$3.2m transaction on a ~A$5m market cap represents material capital activity; Sarama's 32–44% retained stake in Riedel provides material exploration upside but is illiquid and subject to 12-month escrow.

Priced in? Stock down 10% over 20d and 5% over 5d pre-announcement; disposal of assets typically anticipated by market, though escrow lock-in and performance milestone structure may not be fully reflected.

SHN — Magnetics Survey Defines High-Grade Gold Targets, Sybil

Sunshine has completed a systematic airborne survey identifying fault architecture and buried intrusions at Sybil, with new high-grade vein targets (Pancho 21.6 g/t Au, Cisco 6+ g/t Au) validated by rock chip sampling. Imminent RC drilling across three prospect areas aims to extend previous bonanza-grade results and test untested Francis Creek East.

💰 Survey coverage: 2,079 line-km airborne magnetic & radiometric · Pancho vein (rock chip): 21.6 g/t Au · Cisco vein (rock chip): 6.04 g/t Au · Upcoming RC drilling: 72 holes, 4,528m (Francis Creek, Francis Creek East, Blue Range)

Materiality: Geophysical + exploration targeting stage; no resource update or mine plan; rock chips are conceptual and not assayed from drilling. Drilling program (~4,500m) is material exploratory follow-up but early relative to $97m market cap.

Priced in? Stock down 7% over 20d and 4% over 5d into announcement; modest weakness suggests limited prior run-up and new targeting data may provide modest re-rating if drilling confirms grade.

SLS — Quarterly Activities/Appendix 5B Cash Flow Report

Phase 2 drilling at Nanadie confirms a large-scale copper-gold system extending 300m+ below the current MRE boundary with wide, coherent zones (0.5–1.4% Cu, 0.15–0.47g/t Au) open along strike and at depth. Strong financial position ($45m cash) supports sustained resource expansion campaign targeting multiple pathways to material MRE growth.

💰 NANRCD004 composite: 629.1m @ 0.50% Cu, 0.17g/t Au · Best intercept NANRCD004: 30.7m @ 1.41% Cu, 0.34g/t Au · Current MRE: 40.4Mt, 162kt Cu, 130koz Au · Cash position: $45m, no debt

Materiality: Drilling demonstrates resource expansion potential on a $370m market cap asset; 40.4Mt @ 0.4% Cu equivalent already represents ~11% of market cap in notional in-ground value; open-ended geometry and pending assays (12 diamond + 26 RC holes) suggest near-term newsflow to drive sentiment.

Priced in? Stock +27% over 20 days into announcement; Q2 results largely anticipated by market but depth/scale of Phase 2 intercepts (particularly NANRCD004 composite and northward extensions) appear to exceed baseline expectations; no material sell-off post-release suggests positive reception.
