US equity markets recorded modest gains, with the S&P 500 climbing above 6,500 for the first time as investors digested Nvidia Corp's (down -0.79%) second quarter result after the closing bell of the previous session, stronger-than-expected economic growth figures and eyed inflation figures tonight AEST - Dow added +72-points or +0.16%, with American Express Co (up +1.40%), Cisco Systems Inc (+1.45%) and Salesforce Inc (1.75%) all rising over >1%.

Zak Mir talks to Ippolito Cattaneo, CEO of Ajax Resources, in the wake of this week's announcements of the completion of the acquisition of the La Norteña Licence area and the agreed terms to conditionally acquire a 74.75% interest in the Paguanta Project, a copper-gold project. Ajax Resources PLC (AQSE: AJAX) has entered into a conditional agreement to acquire a 74.75% interest in the Paguanta Project (“Paguanta”), a copper-gold project located in the Tarapacá Region of northern Chile, from Asara Resources Ltd, an ASX-listed company. Paguanta is an advanced exploration-stage polymetallic project historically recognised for its silver production. It hosts substantial mineral resources in silver, zinc and lead, with further identified potential for copper and gold. The project area comprises 14 exploitation concessions and 14 pending exploration concession applications, together covering approximately 7,800 hectares. Under the terms of the Acquisition: ·    The parties have until 25 November 2025 to negotiate final contractual terms of the contract and complete ("Completion"). ·    Ajax will undertake its due diligence prior to Completion. ·    Ajax may terminate the Agreement prior to Completion at no cost if the results of the due diligence are unsatisfactory. ·    The Acquisition will consist of the purchase of 100% of the share capital of Paguanta Resources (Chile) SpA, which in turn owns 74.75% of the share capital of Compania Minera Paguanta SA, which owns the Paguanta Project.  Both companies are incorporated in Chile. ·    On Acquisition, both companies will be free of outstanding debt, other than debts novated to Ajax by the Vendor. The consideration for the Acquisition, should it proceed, will be: ·    Within 15 days of Completion: o  US$50,000 in cash; and o  US$100,000 in Ajax ordinary shares of 1 pence each ("Ordinary Shares"), calculated at the 7-day Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) prior to issue. ·    A further US$500,000 to be payable upon the definition of a proved reserve exceeding 25 million tonnes at ≥5% zinc equivalent. ·    A further US $500,000 to be payable upon the definition of a proved reserve exceeding 5 million tonnes of copper. ·    The vendor will retain a 1% net smelter royalty, commencing on the first anniversary of production operations at Paguanta, capped at a maximum amount of US$850,000 and subject to the average zinc price during the preceding two quarters exceeding US$2,600 per metric tonne. The principal zone of value within Paguanta is the Patricia Prospect, which has been the subject of the most extensive exploration to date. Patricia contains a JORC-compliant Mineral Resource of 6.8 million ounces of silver, 265 million pounds of zinc, and 74 million pounds of lead. Importantly, these resources remain open at depth and along strike, providing significant potential for further expansion. At present, the Vendor maintains Paguanta on a care and maintenance basis, while its operational focus remains directed toward its West African portfolio.

While the aggregate numbers suggest this August reporting season hasn't been as volatile as previous ones—at least when looking at average share price moves on beats and misses—several big-name stocks have experienced outsized reactions. CSL, Woolworths and James Hardie were punished, while Coles, Brambles, and REA Group fared far better. Such sharp swings among large-cap “reliable” names have made the season feel more unpredictable than usual, particularly since these are the stocks investors typically buy for stability. They are also companies that dominate headlines and, understandably, get a lot of coverage. However, that also means that there are likely many companies beyond the headlines that delivered solid results, which the market might have overlooked. In this episode, Livewire's Anna Dadic is joined by Ben Rundle from Hayborough Investment Partners and Joe McCarthy from Elston Asset Management to run the ruler over three ASX names that quietly delivered strong results. For good measure, they each nominate another stock that may have flown under the radar —one they believe offers a compelling buying opportunity. Please note this episode was recorded on 27 August 2025.

Paramount Skydance Corp dropped -6.50%, falling the most of any S&P 500 constituent and extending the volatility recorded since the completion of the merger between Skydance Media and Paramount Global earlier this month. Morgan Stanley also trimmed its price target on Paramount Skydance stock, citing a steep valuation and muted growth expectations for adjusted operating income. Eli Lilly & Co has temporarily paused shipments of its weight-loss drug Mounjaro in the UK, ahead of a new price hike for the treatment set to come into effect starting next month. There are legal protections in place to prevent inappropriate stockpiling of medicines by providers, the pharmaceutical company said, adding that it will resume orders on 1 September.

US equity markets rebounded strongly on Friday (22 August) after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell hinted at a near-term interest-rate cut during his Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium speech - Dow rallied +846-points or +1.89% to a record closing high of 45,631.74, marking the 30-stock indice's first record close since 4 December last year. Caterpillar Inc (+4.25) was the leading Dow component, while American Express Co (+3.57%), Goldman Sachs Group Inc (+3.62%), and Home Depot Inc (+3.79%) all gained over >3.5%. Nvidia Corp (+1.72%)  has told suppliers to suspend production of its H20 chip, according to toa report by The Information citing unnamed sources, after Beijing asked local firms to avoid using the chip tailored for the Chinese market due to security concerns. Reuters separately reported that Nvidia had asked Foxconn to suspend work related to the H20 chips.

The Jackson Hole Symposium will kick off with Fed Chair Jerome Powell – so will he bite back at US President Donald Trump, and will he give any signal that more interest rate cuts are coming?

Interview with Nic Earner, Managing Director & CEO of Alkane Resources Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/alkane-mandalay-merger-reshapes-mid-tier-gold-landscape-7155Recording date: 8th August 2025Alkane Resources (ASX:ALK) has successfully completed its transformative merger with Mandalay Resources, establishing a dual ASX and TSX-listed gold and antimony producer operating three mines across Australia and Sweden. The strategic combination creates a mid-tier producer generating over 160,000 gold equivalent ounces annually with robust cash flow of nearly $100 million over the past twelve months.The merged entity operates geographically diversified assets including the Tomingley gold mine in New South Wales, Costerfield gold and antimony mine in Victoria, and Björkdal gold mine in northern Sweden. This diversification across premier mining jurisdictions provides operational stability while reducing single-asset dependency risks that plague many smaller producers.Management has outlined a clear three-pillar growth strategy focused on maximizing value from existing operations, pursuing strategic acquisitions of 80-120,000 ounce annual producers, and achieving market re-rating through enhanced scale and liquidity. CEO Nic Earner emphasized the company's commitment to operational excellence, noting "We have a culture within the group of making sure we deliver on guidance," with Alkane meeting production targets in all but one year since 2014.The merger provides significant financial strength with pro forma cash of A$218 million and no meaningful debt obligations, enabling flexible capital allocation for organic growth and strategic acquisitions. Near-term catalysts include completing highway relocation at Tomingley, developing the True Blue extension at Costerfield, and optimizing higher-grade opportunities at Björkdal, supported by a $40 million annual near-mine exploration budget.Management believes the combined entity's production profile and cash generation capabilities position it for valuation re-rating, with peer comparisons suggesting companies of similar scale typically trade above 1.4-1.5 billion Australian dollars in market capitalization. The dual listing strategy aims to broaden the investor base and improve liquidity, potentially facilitating inclusion in relevant mining indices and access to passive investment flows.View Alkane Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/alkane-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
