Company Responds to ASX Price and Volume Query

Berkeley Energia Limited responded to an ASX price and volume query on 13 October 2026 after the exchange noted a sharp movement in its share price and increased trading activity.

The ASX letter referred to a closing price of AU$0.61 on 9 October and an intraday high of AU$0.945 on 13 October. In its response, the company stated that it was not aware of any unannounced information that could explain the recent trading.

The company noted that Spain’s Prime Minister had announced an early general election for 29 November 2026, bringing forward the election previously scheduled for 2027. However, the company did not identify this development as a definitive explanation for the market activity.

Annual General Meeting Documents Released

Pacific Current Group Limited announced on 9 October 2026 that it had released documents for its 2026 Annual General Meeting, scheduled for 12 November 2026 at 3:30 pm AEDT in Melbourne. The documents include the meeting notice, shareholder letter, proxy form, notice of access and shareholder question form. Shareholders will consider the re-election of Joanne Dawson as a director and an advisory resolution on the company’s remuneration report for the financial year ended 30 June 2026. Proxy appointments must be received by 3:30 pm AEDT on 10 November 2026. The meeting will also provide shareholders with an opportunity to consider the company’s financial and directors’ reports and raise questions about its operations.

Annual Results Show Significant Financial Improvement

Group 6 Metals Limited’s FY2026 results materials reported revenue of AU$129.0 million for the year ended 30 June 2026, compared with AU$21.2 million in FY2025. Net profit after tax reached AU$148.2 million, reversing a loss of AU$32.1 million in the previous year. The company attributed the improvement to stronger tungsten pricing, higher concentrate sales volumes, the reversal of a previous impairment and non-cash accounting impacts associated with its recapitalisation and warrant arrangements. Cash stood at AU$49.3 million at 30 June 2026, while total borrowings declined to AU$21.2 million from AU$26.3 million. The company also reported producing 88,911 metric tonne units of tungsten trioxide during FY2026 and selling 92,964 metric tonne units.
