Encounter Resources Limited (ASX: ENR) has reported multiple intersections of rare earth element (REE) fluorocarbonate minerals (including bastnaesite, synchysite and parasite) from untargeted diamond drilling at the Green carbonatite, alongside a new near-surface REE hit at the Juan prospect, ~10 km from existing niobium-REE deposits in the West Arunta. The results add further evidence that Aileron hosts district-scale niobium–REE potential across several large carbonatite s

Cannindah Resources Limited (ASX: CAE) has reported standout trenching results from the Southern Target Zone (Appletree–Dunno) at Mt Cannindah, Queensland (Figure 1). The work outlines a 500 m × 100 m corridor of high-order Cu-Au-Mo geochemistry coincident with IP chargeability and magnetic highs—and crucially, an untested target at the lowest topographic level within the mining leases, consistent with a preserved porphyry system.

AML3D Limited (ASX: AL3) will supply two custom ARCEMY® systems to Newport News Shipbuilding, extending its footprint in US naval supply chains.

The work defines a substantial, untested conductive plate directly beneath the shallow, high-grade Alotta sulphide body, and indicates prior drilling was sub-optimal; a new NE-oriented drill strategy is now planned to test depth

Actinogen Medical (ASX: ACW) released two important updates dated 20 October 2025: (1) accelerated recruitment has enabled early closure of pTau screening for the Phase 2b/3 XanaMIA Alzheimer’s trial; and (2) an Advance Overseas Finding (AOF) approval confirms eligibility for a further RDTI rebate of ~$1.87m, taking the total FY25 RDTI to ~$7.36m if the ATO amendment is favourably assessed.

archTIS Limited ((ASX: AR9) has announced a second U.S. Department of Defense–related contract, this time to deliver customised development work on its NC Protect product for the Microsoft DoD365 environment via federal contractor Copper River Technologies. While modest in dollar terms, management frames this engagement as a bridge that advances enterprise-grade rollout and positions the company for a larger licensing outcome already flagged earlier in the year.

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.
