EMVAppendix 4E & Annual Report to 30 June 2026

EMVision reported FY26 results showing revenue growth and narrowing losses as its portable brain scanner (emu™) pivotal trial advances across Mayo Clinic, UCLA and other leading US/Australian stroke centres, with FDA De Novo submission targeted for FY27 and First Responder production units due early CY27. The company remains well-funded with $17.1m cash plus $4.6m in non-dilutive grants, prioritising regulatory clearance and pre-commercialisation groundwork in a multibillion-dollar stroke diagnostics market.

💰 FY26 revenue: $8.8m (+57% YoY) · FY26 net loss: $8.3m (-15% YoY) · Cash on hand: $17.1m · Non-dilutive grants remaining: $4.6m

Materiality: Cash position (~$17.1m) covers ~2 years at current $8.3m annual burn, providing runway for pivotal trial completion and De Novo submission; raise not required, disciplined capital spend underpins credibility.

Priced in? Stock +18% over 20d into announcement; retail-driven tape with minimal institutional participation suggests retail enthusiasm for clinical progress narrative, but no major run-up immediately pre-release indicates expectations already partially embedded.

GA8 · $43MAircore Drilling Extends Gold Anomalism South at Whistler

GA8's second aircore round extends a coherent shallow gold anomaly zone southward at Whistler with best intercepts <1 g/t Au—consistent with early-stage discovery in untested ground, but grades remain marginal by bonanza standards. The 1 km gap between round 1 and round 2 southern fences is flagged as the primary target for 2027 follow-up drilling, suggesting exploration momentum but no imminent resource definition.

💰 Second round aircore program: 95 holes, 3,831m · Best intercept: 8m @ 811 ppb Au from 44m (incl. 4m @ 1,520 ppb Au) · Gold anomalism extension: 400m south of first round fences · Anomalous zone width: ~100m

Materiality: Second round program (~$0.3–0.5m typical cost estimate) represents ~1–1.2% of $43m market cap; current cash of $4.2m covers ~4–5 quarters at typical junior exploration burn, requiring capital raise if drilling accelerates materially into 2027.

Priced in? Stock +11% over 20 days but flat over 5 days into announcement; modest institutional inflow (+$5k) and retail strength (+$36k) suggest retail optimism but no consensus institutional repricing; early-stage result likely already partially anticipated.

GBRHigh grade results in first drilling at Peak Hill

First-pass RC drilling at Peak Hill has returned exceptional high-grade gold intercepts (up to 37.1 g/t Au) across multiple deposits, confirming grade continuity and supporting management's strategy to substantially increase the 481,000 oz resource by year-end. The discovery of gold within the previously barren Jubilee dolerite adds upside optionality and may improve pit economics.

💰 Peak Hill resource (current): 481,000 oz Au · Best Durack intercept: 4m @ 37.1 g/t Au · Best Jubilee intercept: 3m @ 29.4 g/t Au · Drilling campaign: 40,000m (120+ RC holes completed)

Materiality: Resource growth targeting ~481k oz baseline; 40,000m campaign well ahead of schedule; Westgold offtake agreement provides capital-light pathway to production; cash position of $18.3m sufficient for immediate exploration phases.

Priced in? Stock +38% over 20d and +23% over 5d into announcement; strong run-up suggests market anticipated positive early results, though magnitude of bonanza grades and dolerite discovery appear to have added incremental upside.

KLIKilli Appoints Managing Director

Killi has appointed experienced iron-ore and junior mining executive Hamish Halliday as Managing Director to accelerate the Lodestone iron-ore project through resource growth and technical studies, replacing outgoing CEO Kathryn Cutler. The move indicators a strategic pivot toward iron ore and capital-ready leadership, with the MD's track record in discovery and funding positioning the company to de-risk and potentially advance Lodestone toward development.

💰 MD_salary: $375,000 p.a. · Lodestone_resource: 110Mt at 33% mass recovery, 69% Fe concentrate · Lodestone_location: 200km from Port of Geraldton, Western Australia · MD_experience: 30 years, founded/co-founded 6 junior mining companies

Materiality: Leadership change tied to 80% acquisition of Lodestone (110Mt resource), a material asset for a $106m market cap company; insufficient data on strategic impact quantification.

Priced in? Stock +69% over 20d and +11% over 5d into this announcement—substantial pre-run already reflects market anticipation of leadership and Lodestone strategy shift; this confirms rather than surprises.

PLS2026 Annual Report (incorporating Appendix 4E)

2 related announcements
  • FY26 Full Year Results Presentation

PLS delivered strong operational execution in FY26 with 17% production growth, 152% revenue lift (driven by 109% higher realised prices in a softer lithium market), and swing to $526M net profit, underpinned by robust $2.3B cash balance. Fully franked 5-cent dividend indicators management confidence in sustaining cash generation despite lithium price normalization.

💰 FY26 Revenue: $1,934M (+152% YoY) · FY26 Net Profit: $525.8M (+369% YoY) · Production: 879.5 kt (+17% YoY) · Average Realised Price: $2,164/t (+109% YoY)

Materiality: FY26 profit of ~$526M equals ~3.2% of market cap; cash position of $2.3B equals ~14% of market cap, providing substantial balance-sheet flexibility for growth capex or shareholder returns.

Priced in? Stock +22% over 20d and +4% over 5d into results release; outcome (strong profit/cash) broadly consistent with market expectations for a mature lithium producer in a price-recovery year.

PNN · $74M2ND HOLE DELIVERS HIGHEST EVER MREO INTERCEPT FROM SURFACE

PNN's second diamond hole confirms thick, coherent high-grade rare-earth mineralisation from surface with exceptional magnet-REE (NdPr+DyTb) content and elevated heavy rare earths, directly replicating and widening the grade envelope from hole one. Early-stage drilling momentum with two rigs operating and metallurgical sampling underway positions the Morro do Ferro project as a potential premium magnet-REE development asset amid global supply-chain diversification demand.

💰 MFSR-052 full interval: 137m @ 4.31% TREO, 0.73% MREO · High-grade zone: 26.9m @ 13.0% TREO, 2.40% MREO · Surface intercept: 53m @ 9.87% TREO, 1.69% MREO · Peak sample: 2m @ 19.51% TREO, 3.96% MREO

Materiality: Single hole in maiden drilling program; insufficient MRE or resource statement to quantify resource addition; cash position of $7.5m covers ~8–12 months at current exploration burn, requiring capital raise if project scales to development phase.

Priced in? Stock +62% over 20d into announcement; +6% in 5d leading to release suggests market had already positioned for positive early results; magnitude and grade continuity largely anticipated by the run-up.
