Zak Mir talks to Dr Kerim Sener, Managing Director of Ariana Resources, in the wake of the recent summary of projects with drilling planned at Dokwe and the dual listing on the ASX. Highlights: o  Ariana commenced trading on the ASX on 10 September 2025, following the completion of a A$11 million IPO, capitalising the Company at c.A$72.5 million. o  Flagship >1Moz Dokwe Gold Project in Zimbabwe continues to be advanced through its Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS"), as additional technical consultancy companies are appointed. o  Drilling companies have submitted tenders to undertake a significant new diamond and Reverse Circulation ("RC") drilling programme of c.11,000m at Dokwe; with contracts due to be awarded imminently and drilling to commence in early October. o  The drilling programme is designed to substantially increase the current 1.4Moz Resource and 0.8Moz Reserve (as defined in the Pre-feasibility Study - "PFS") at Dokwe, while also providing additional technical data for the DFS. o  Gold-silver production continues from the Turkish operations (held 23.5% by Ariana), with production from the Tavşan Mine due to be augmented through its heap-leach imminently. Dr. Kerim Sener, Managing Director, commented: "The successful dual-listing of Ariana on the ASX and its associated capital raising of A$11 million, is a landmark moment since first listing on AIM in 2005. In that time, the Company has evolved from a greenfield exploration company to a gold producer. "The ASX listing provides a powerful platform for us to accelerate our growth strategy, broaden our investor base, and unlock the full potential of our asset portfolio. Central to this is the 100% owned Dokwe Gold Project in Zimbabwe, a highly compelling development opportunity with significant scale, strong economics and exciting upside potential. "With a gold price currently exceeding US$3,600/oz the Company continues to optimise the path forward for the fast-track development of Dokwe, deploying all our skills and capabilities to build up a planned annual gold production of at least 60,000 ounces of gold per annum over a thirteen-year mine life, based on the PFS. With a proven track record of discovery and delivery, Ariana is well positioned to continue building a long-term, sustainable and globally recognised gold company."

Wall St closed higher on Tuesday as investors overlooked government shutdown fears to post an unusually strong month of September. The Dow Jones rose 0.18% to close at a fresh record high while the Nasdaq added 0.31% and the S&P500 ended the day up 0.41%.With a potential government shutdown looming, investors have been wary about a slowing labour market, the risk of stagflation and elevated stock valuation, so although government shutdowns aren't usually market-moving events, this time we could see market movements as a result. In Europe overnight, markets closed higher led by Germany's DAX rising 0.57%, while the STOXX 600 gained 0.5%, the French CAC climbed 0.19% and, in the UK, the FTSE100 ended the day up 0.54%. Across the Asia markets on Tuesday, markets traded mixed as the latest data out of China showed manufacturing activity contracted for a 6th straight month, with the manufacturing PMI index coming in at 49.8 points. While still in contraction mode, the reading was better than economists were expecting and the strongest reading since March. Japan's Nikkei fell 0.25%, and South Korea's Kospi index lost 0.19%, while China's CSI index gained 0.45%, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 0.95%.The local market closed 0.2% lower on Tuesday following a lacklustre session on Wall St on Monday and investors digested comments out of RBA Governor Michele Bullock after Australia's central bank maintained the current cash rate at 3.6% for the next period. Materials and industrials stocks bucked the trend yesterday to close higher while energy stocks were the hardest hit amid declining oil prices.Ms Bullock said market services inflation remains sticky and has been a key sticking point for the RBA's rate journey over the last year adding to the difficult decisions made around Australia's rate outlook pathway. For this reason, the RBA was content in holding the cash rate at the conclusion of yesterday's meeting for the period ahead.Seven West Media (ASX:SWM) and Southern Cross Media (ASX:SXL) shares rose over 7% and over 6% respectively yesterday on news of a proposed merger between the Australian media giants, while Restaurant Brands New Zealand soared almost 60% after receiving a takeover offer from its majority shareholder, Finaccess Restauracion, a Mexican company.What to watch today:On the commodities front this morning, oil is trading 1.5% lower at US$62.51/barrel, gold is up 0.33% at yet another record US$3845.83/ounce and iron ore is trading 0.09% lower at US$105.35/tonne.The Aussie dollar has further strengthened against the greenback overnight to buy 66.16 US cents, 97.82 Japanese Yen, 49.17 British Pence and 1 New Zealand dollar and 14 cents.Ahead of the midweek trading session the SPI futures are anticipating the ASX will open the day down 0.12%. Trading ideas:Bell Potter has increased the 12-month price target on Pantoro (ASX:PNR) from $2.15 to $2.80 and maintain a hold rating on the diversified mining services group as shares have climbed 130% in one year but some key catalysts and tailwinds including the gold price and new contract wins, are driving a strong growth outlook for the company which led the analyst to increase the 12-month PT and maintain a hold.And Trading Central has identified a bearish signal on Infratil (ASX:IFT) following the formation of a pattern over a period of 54-days which is roughly the same amount of time the share price may fall from the close of $10.73 to the range of $9.40 to $9.70 according to standard principles of technical analysis.

This episode was filmed Wednesday, 24th September 2025. The siren might have sounded on another AFL season, but when it comes to markets, the game next stops.  With the ASX trading near record highs and valuations stretching common sense, investors are asking the big question: how do you protect the scoreboard when conditions turn tough? As the saying goes, attack wins you games, but defence wins you titles. And while growth stocks often grab the spotlight, low-volatility names and reliable portfolio ballast can be just as crucial for staying in the match when momentum shifts. So in this episode, we're drawing up our own starting lineup of ASX defenders. Which stocks deserve a place in your portfolio's backline, and which ones should be left warming the bench? Joining Livewire's Tom Stelzer to make the calls are  from Blackwattle and Brenton Saunders from Pendal, who put three ASX names under the spotlight. They also share their best defensive stock picks for when markets get choppy.

EOS also released a sales update yesterday revealing it is expecting full year revenue from existing contracts to be $115m to $125m in FY25 however, new orders could boost this by $25m in addition to its contract backlog with an estimated value of $299m.Synlait Milk share jumped 15% following the release of the company's full-year results yesterday.

Bell Potter has upgraded the 12-month TP reflecting a higher CY26e EV/EBITDA multiple due to strengthened confidence in longer term revenue growth.Trading Central has identified a bearish signal on HMC Capital (ASX:HMC) following the formation of a pattern over a period of 29-days which is roughly the same amount of time the share price may fall from the close of $3.23 to the range of $2.55 to $2.65 according to standard principles of technical analysis.

Wall Street ended a three-day losing streak after the latest inflation report, with the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation coming in line with economists’ expectations. This relief saw buyers push most sectors higher. Pharma stocks jumped on tariff news and game maker Electronic Arts surged on reports of a potential $50 billion buyout. Energy shares also led weekly gains ahead of the OPEC meeting. Still, concerns over a possible government shutdown weighed on sentiment heading into the week.

Coffee with Samso | Episode 210 | DY6 Metals (ASX: DY6) | UWA Club, Crawley, Western Australia Guest: Cliff Fitzhenry, CEO – DY6 Metals Ltd Introduction In this latest episode of Coffee with Samso, we return to the UWA Club in Crawley to meet with Cliff Fitzhenry, CEO of DY6 Metals Ltd (ASX: DY6). This conversation cuts through the technical noise to examine what could become a globally significant rutile and titanium discovery in Africa. DY6 is still an early-stage story, but it's positioning itself at the front of the critical mineral narrative and targeting the scarcity of natural rutile, a feedstock commanding premium value in the titanium supply chain. Cliff brings technical clarity to what rutile actually is, why it matters, and how DY6 is forging ahead in Cameroon, a lesser-known but emerging jurisdiction with enormous potential. Key Highlights from the Conversation 1. What is DY6 and Where Are They Focused? DY6 Metals listed on the ASX in mid-2023 with a portfolio of rare earth projects in Malawi, and has since pivoted focus to rutile and heavy mineral sands (HMS) in Cameroon — particularly the: Central Rutile Project (residual saprolite-hosted rutile) Duala Basin Project (coastal HMS project) Both sit in proximity to transport infrastructure, including rail and deepwater ports, and within a fast-evolving mining jurisdiction supported by new modernised regulations. 2. First Results – Reconnaissance Program at Central Rutile Project In May 2025, DY6 completed its first pass reconnaissance sampling at the Central Rutile Project. While shallow (1–3m), the results were promising: Rutile confirmed as dominant titanium mineral Rutile grades above 1.5%, with highs of 2.1%, considered ultra-high grade Heavy Mineral (HM) contents up to 8% in surface samples These results validate the geological model targeting in-situ residual rutile mineralisation. Cliff explains: “We confirmed rutile is the key titanium mineral, and we've since completed 24 auger holes to greater depth using upgraded equipment. We believe those will be far more representative of in-situ rutile mineralisation.” 3. Understanding the Geological Model: Residual vs Alluvial Rutile Cliff offers a masterclass in explaining rutile geology: Residual/Saprolite-hosted: Rutile concentrated in weathered bedrock — easy to drill, free-dig, and dry mine Alluvial: Historically known in Cameroon (1930s–50s), but more dispersed due to river transport The Central Project targets the residual style, like Sovereign Metals' Kasiya deposit in Malawi. 4. Jurisdiction Watch: Why Cameroon? Cameroon is emerging as a serious mineral jurisdiction with: A reformed mining code Newly formed mining commission (DY6's licence applications under review) Proximity to Canyon Resources' bauxite project and Lion Rock Minerals' rutile project “We're bullish on Cameroon. We're setting up our own lab, building a local team, and drilling with purpose. This is the kind of place where tier-one discoveries are still possible.” 5. The Benchmark: Sovereign Metals & Kasiya DY6's model draws clear inspiration from Sovereign Metals' Kasiya discovery in Malawi — a 1.8Bt rutile deposit that reset the market's understanding of sediment-hosted titanium systems. “I was part of the team that made the Kasiya discovery. We know the rocks. Cameroon has similar geology. The model is proven — now it's about execution.” 6. Grades Explained – What Numbers Matter in HMS and Rutile? Understanding the significance of reported grades is crucial: Traditional beach sands (e.g., Iluka-style): ~3–5% HM, mostly ilmenite High-grade rutile cutoff: >1.4% rutile Kasiya MRE cutoff: 0.7% rutile DY6's early sampling: up to 2.1% rutile, a standout in the global context 7. Infrastructure and In-Country Processing Strategy DY6 is building its own mineral sands laboratory in Yaoundé, Cameroon. This eliminates long wait times and expensive logistics. In-country assays for rapid turnaround Heavy-duty auger rigs now operating A 35% complete geochemical soil program underway “We're cutting out expensive delays.

Growth stocks by definition are going to run hot from time to time, but as the old saying goes: form is temporary, class is permanent. In a year that's seen a surprisingly resilient stock market, some names have taken the ball and run with it. But it's where they go next that matters. In this episode of Buy Hold Sell, Livewire's Tom Stelzer is joined by Tim Riordan from Blackwattle and Brenton Saunders from Pendal to analyse some of the ASX's current star performers and see whether they can maintain that form going forward. They also throw up the ASX growth stock they think can continue to kick goals over the next 12 months. Please note this episode was filmed on 24 September 2025.

In this episode, we're joined by Kevin Smith, Non-Executive Director at IRIS Metals, an ASX-listed company involved in lithium exploration in the historic Black Hills district of South Dakota. With one of the largest hard-rock lithium landholdings in the U.S., IRIS Metals is positioning itself at the heart of America's drive for a domestic supply of critical minerals. In our conversation, we'll explore how IRIS is balancing exploration risk with surging lithium demand, and what sets the company apart in attracting capital and partnerships. We'll also take an educational lens, discussing the unique challenges of developing projects in the U.S. compared to more traditional mining jurisdictions. Kevin will share his insights on navigating the highs and lows of commodity cycles, advice for juniors aiming to transition from exploration to development, and the broader outlook for lithium and critical minerals KEY TAKEAWAYS The company is strategically positioned to be the first and largest lithium producer in the U.S. by the end of the decade, with a quick path to market due to its brownfields project Iris Metals is focusing on brownfields projects on private ground to minimise exploration risk and expedite the transition from exploration to production The lithium market is currently experiencing a downturn, with prices having dropped significantly from previous highs Iris Metals is actively engaging with investors and the local community, emphasising its commitment to responsible mining practices and economic growth BEST MOMENTS "We think that we can be the first and the largest lithium producer in the U.S. to come online here before the end of the decade." "Lithium is an immature market because it's a product that has not been widely used or adopted in industry like copper, lead, zinc." "We have a unique opportunity set, a captive market in audience in customer base. We're one of the few people that can deliver and execute on that." "The path to production is approximately 18 months from here... we think we have some good government support, some good commercial support from large strategic partners."

Former Virgin Australia CEO Jayne Hrdlicka is collecting a $49.9 million pay packet, which includes 10 million shares, as revealed in the company's annual report. For more on this and the ASX-200's performance this week, Stephanie Youssef spoke with IG Markets analyst Tony Sycamore. Plus, US inflation has risen 2.9% in August, paving the way for the first US interest rate cut of the year when the Federal Reserve meets next week. For more, Stephanie Youssef spoke with AMP Chief Economist Shane Oliver.

Aussie stocks have posted their best lift today since last Thursday, as Steve recounts the session that saw the ASX making up for the modest moves lower of recent days. The strength of the US market had a part to play in this following their unemployment data, locally energy stocks continued to decline, and financials saw gains. Ex-dividend trading continued for a number of stocks, gold miners saw more significant improvements, and Virgin Australia caught attention. Steve looks to the week ahead with jobs growth data something that investors should be watching, and around $2.5 billion in dividends set to be paid to investors.

For more, Stephanie Youssef spoke with Mark Gardner from MPC Markets.

For more, Stephanie Youssef spoke with Domain's research chief, Dr Nicola Powell.

Interview with Nic Earner, Managing Director & CEO, Alkane ResourcesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/alkane-resources-asxalk-mid-tier-producer-born-from-strategic-mandalay-resources-merger-7637Recording date: 8th September 2025Alkane Resources has successfully completed its merger with Mandalay Resources, creating a debt-free gold producer targeting 160-175,000 ounces annually across three strategic mining jurisdictions. The combined entity operates mines in Australia (Tomingley & Costerfield), and Sweden (Björkdal), providing investors with geographic diversification and operational risk mitigation in an increasingly volatile global environment.The company has eliminated its Macquarie debt facility while allocating over $80 million toward growth capital and exploration programs. Managing Director Nic Earner emphasizes the integration challenges, noting the need to harmonize "distributed management structures and styles" while adapting to dual ASX and TSX reporting requirements for both Australian and North American investor bases.Alkane's three-asset portfolio offers compelling diversification benefits. Tomingley receives $50 million in growth capital for open-cut development, while Costerfield, the highest-grade operation producing 45-50,000 ounces annually, benefits from a $25 million exploration program targeting resource expansion. The Swedish Björkdal operation operates a substantial 1.4 million ton mill capacity, currently underutilized but positioned for expansion.The elevated gold price environment has fundamentally transformed mine economics, enabling access to previously uneconomical mineralization. As Earner notes, "there may be mineralization at a different price you would not have bothered with, whereas now you're getting it."Looking ahead, Alkane maintains disciplined acquisition criteria, requiring any new development to achieve production by 2027. The company targets three M&A categories: merger-of-equals transactions, developers requiring capital for near-production assets, and distressed producers facing capital constraints. With proven operational excellence—missing guidance only once in 14 years—and a clear path to exceeding 180,000 annual ounces through organic growth, Alkane positions itself as a consolidation leader in the sector's ongoing transformation.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/alkane-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
