    Two miners laughing and having fun while using smart phone during their coffee break.

    Yesterday, Medallion Metals Ltd (ASX: MM8) announced a $60 million placement to support the development of the Ravensthorpe Gold Project and boost growth drilling across its Western Australian portfolio.

    What did Medallion Metals report?

    • Raised $60 million via a single-tranche placement at $0.48 per share
    • 125 million new ordinary shares to be issued to institutional and sophisticated investors
    • Total available liquidity post-raise reaches approximately $175 million
    • Funding underpins ramp-up to commercial gold-copper production at Ravensthorpe, plus processing at Forrestania
    • Proceeds support mine development and accelerated extensional drilling at Kundip and Lounge Lizard

    What else do investors need to know?

    The fundraise was cornerstoned by respected institutional investors, showing significant confidence in Medallion’s strategy and assets. Proceeds will be used to advance development at Ravensthorpe and Forrestania, allowing the company to meet liquidity requirements for its financing facilities.

    With this capital boost, Medallion Metals plans to ramp up exploration, particularly at priority targets such as Kundip and Lounge Lizard. This could enhance the company’s production profile and long-term sustainability.

    What did Medallion Metals management say?

    Managing Director Paul Bennett said:

    Medallion emerges from this capital raising in an extremely strong position to progress to commercial production of gold and copper. Project development activities are advancing rapidly at both Ravensthorpe and Forrestania, with toll treatment expected to commence in October and commissioning of the expanded and modified process plant on Ravensthorpe feed targeted for mid-2027.

    With the company’s funding position in excess of the project requirements, we have the ability to accelerate drilling programs at our most prospective targets, with the objective of growing the production profile across our projects. We welcome our new shareholders and appreciate the continued support of our existing shareholders. The backing of this high-quality group of resources investors is a significant endorsement of our team, assets and near-term gold-copper production strategy.

    What’s next for Medallion Metals?

    The company expects to commence toll treatment at Forrestania in October and aims to commission the upgraded Ravensthorpe plant by mid-2027. With strong financial backing, Medallion can accelerate drilling and advance projects with fewer funding constraints.

    Investors can look forward to steady progress reports, including potential resource growth and milestone achievements across the portfolio throughout 2026 and into 2027.

  • PWR Holdings reports record FY26 earnings and European expansion

    Man raising both his arms in the air with a piggy bank on his lap, symbolising a record high.

    Yesterday, PWR Holdings Ltd (ASX: PWH) reported record group revenue of $170.7 million, up 31%, and statutory NPAT of $17.9 million, up 83.2% for FY26.

    What did PWR Holdings report?

    • Revenue: $170.7 million, up 31.2% on the prior year
    • Statutory NPAT: $17.9 million, up 83.2%
    • EBITDA: $40.7 million, up 59.6%
    • NPAT margin: 10.5%, up by 3 percentage points
    • Final dividend: 5.0 cents per share, up from 2.0 cps
    • Cash conversion: 104.9%, with free cash flow of $10.6 million

    What else do investors need to know?

    PWR delivered strong top-line growth, driven mainly by Motorsports (up 45%) and Aerospace & Defence (up 31%). Operating leverage improved, with margin expansion as the newly completed Stapylton facility enabled greater volumes and efficiency.

    The company finalised its Australian factory move and invested in capability upgrades, including entry into the European market with a new Poland facility due to open in FY27. The Aerospace & Defence order book surged to $40 million, with PWR securing a follow-on US Government contract.

    PWR continues to scale its engineering and production teams, now employing over 700 people globally. Investment in research and development grew to $14.9 million, supporting next-generation cooling technologies.

    What did PWR Holdings management say?

    Chief Executive Officer Sharyn Williams said:

    Our record results reflect the strength of our technology and the dedication of our people. The momentum in Aerospace & Defence demonstrates the success of our strategic investments, and our new European base positions us well for further international growth.

    What’s next for PWR Holdings?

    Looking ahead, PWR expects its higher revenue baseline to be maintained in FY27, with Aerospace & Defence as the main growth driver. A phased start-up of the new Poland facility will support the company’s ambitions in the expanding European defence market, with FY27 investment and start-up costs expected to reduce NPAT by less than $1 million.

    The board expects margin recovery to continue, aiming for a 2% statutory NPAT margin improvement in FY27. Growth is likely to be supported by greater automation, improved product mix, and expansion in both global motorsports and aerospace sectors.
