Proteomics International (ASX: PIQ) has expanded its research agreement with the University of Melbourne and the Royal Women’s Hospital (RWH), a leading centre for endometriosis research. The partnership has two clear streams: (1) additional clinical validation for Promarker®Endo—PIQ’s first-in-class blood test for diagnosing endometriosis—and (2) discovery work toward a tissue-specific, next-generation test using peritoneal fluid to improve disease localisation.

Medibank Private has expanded its multi-year funding agreement with Emyria Limited (ASX: EMD) to support screened and eligible customers accessing Empax programs for Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) at Avive Clinic Brisbane (Figure 1). Clinic fit-out and regulatory preparations are underway, with treatment commencement targeted for Q4 CY2025. This marks Emyria’s first insurer-backed program on Australia’s east coast and advances t

Xstate Resources Limited (ASX: XST) has provided an operations update for Diona-1 within the Diona block, ATP 2077, in the Surat–Bowen Basin, Queensland (Figure 1). As at the time of writing, the well had reached 2,479 m MD, intersected its Jurassic primary target (non-hydrocarbon-bearing), and on entering the Permian encountered an ~181 m hydrocarbon-prone sequence with a significant overpressured gas column.

Encounter Resources Limited (ASX: ENR)’s latest Aileron results sharpen the focus on Green Prospect (Figure 1) as the emerging high-grade core of this West Arunta carbonatite system. A standout 85m @ 3.1% Nb₂O₅ within a thicker 124m envelope materially upgrades grade continuity inside—and beyond—the current resource shell.

Algorae Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX: 1AI) has executed a binding term sheet with Cadila Pharmaceuticals Limited for a proposed license and supply agreement covering Australia and New Zealand. The partnership would see Algorae launch two generic medicines targeting cardiovascular and metabolic disorders, with next steps focused on finalising a definitive agreement and preparing for TGA registration.

E79 Gold Limited (ASX: E79) has sharpened the Mountain Home Copper–Gold (Figure 1) story in the NT with a simple but telling update (23 October 2025): fresh mapping plus 24 rock-chip samples have pushed high-grade copper outside the known gossan and onto parallel trends. With assays up to 35.9% Cu and Cu-Au-Bi mineralisation tracking along sinistral brittle faults, the footprint now looks more like a structural corridor than a single showing.

Lion Rock Minerals Limited (ASX: LRM) has secured a strategic placement and technical partnership with Tronox Holdings plc (NYSE: TROX)—one of the world’s largest vertically-integrated titanium dioxide and zircon producers. This is not just funding; it’s an alignment with an operator that mines, upgrades, and markets titanium feedstocks (including rutile) and rare earth-bearing monazite at industrial scale. The move signals an intention to fast-track drilling, resource defini

TrivarX Limited (ASX: TRI) announced a binding option to acquire Stabl-Im™, a stable-isotope MRI platform intended to enable early, repeatable, non-invasive detection and monitoring of brain tumours and metastases—an area with high unmet clinical need and limited safe imaging options. The transaction is paired with a $4.2m placement cornerstoned by Dr Daniel Tillett (founder/CEO of Nucleics and MD/CEO of Race Oncology, ASX: RAC), signalling both technical belief and strategic

Latrobe Magnesium (ASX: LMG) is progressing an Australian-first pathway to produce magnesium and associated by-products from brown coal ash via a patented hydromet/thermal reduction process (Figure). In late September 2025, LMG confirmed first production of magnesium oxide (MgO) from its Hazelwood North Demonstration Plant—an operational milestone that further de-risks the flowsheet ahead of magnesium metal commissioning.

Encounter Resources Limited (ASX: ENR) has kicked off a 6-hole RC program at the Haddon copper prospect (formerly BM5) within its 100%-owned Yeneena Copper Project in the Paterson Province, ~50 km SE of Nifty, WA (Figure 1). The target sits on a major fault with coincident EM resistive response and prior aircore results that finished in gossanous, multi-element anomalism—an undercover setting analogous in style to nearby sediment-hosted copper systems and magmatic Cu-Au depos

Orange Minerals NL (ASX: OMX) has released new surface sampling results from the Lennon’s Find polymetallic project in the Pilbara, with rock chips returning standout precious and base-metal grades along a 4.5 km mineralised corridor (Figure 1). The company is moving to a single 650m diamond hole in early November to directly test a pronounced induced polarisation (IP) anomaly interpreted as a potential feeder to the known zinc-lead-silver system.

Western Yilgarn Limited (ASX: WYX) has kicked off ground-exploration planning over two gallium targets in Western Australia—Ida Holmes Junction (Figure 1) and New Norcia—building on very high-grade rock chips and historical aircore intercepts. The Company also confirms a newly granted exploration licence at New Norcia and outlines imminent on-ground reconnaissance, including helicopter follow-up over Ida Holmes Junction.
