3 ASX Stocks to Watch as Shares Gain on Key Updates
Highlights
Company announcements were in focus on the Australian share market as three ASX-listed names moved higher on fresh updates. Southern Cross Electrical Engineering, St George Mining and Rox Resources each gained more than 5%, with news spanning dividend reinvestment terms, rare earths resource growth in Brazil and debt funding for a gold mine development. Here’s a breakdown of the key announcements from each company and when they were released.
Stocks in Focus
Southern Cross Electrical Engineering Confirms DRP Price
Southern Cross Electrical Engineering Limited led the group, climbing 9.69% to AU$5.320. On 1 October 2026, the company issued an updated dividend notification that fixed its Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) price at AU$4.8699 per share.
The notice builds on the dividend first announced in August and also sets the exchange rate for shareholders who receive their payment in New Zealand dollars. The company declared a fully franked ordinary dividend of AU$0.075 per share, with payment scheduled for 7 October 2026. The DRP price reflects the volume-weighted average market price across five trading days, with no discount applied.
St George Mining Expands Araxá Resource
St George Mining Limited added 6.45% to reach AU$0.066. In its Annual Report, released on 29 September 2026, the company detailed a year of progress at its wholly owned Araxá Rare Earths-Niobium Project in Brazil. More than 18,000 metres of drilling were completed in FY2026, supporting a substantial expansion of the company’s resource base. The upgraded Mineral Resource Estimate now totals 111.2 million tonnes grading 3.57% TREO and 0.57% Nb₂O₅. That includes around 760,000 tonnes of contained NdPr oxides and 630,000 tonnes of Nb₂O₅. Economic studies and mine planning are also moving ahead, with Worley appointed as feasibility technical adviser.
Rox Resources Locks In Funding for Youanmi Gold Mine
Rox Resources Limited rose 5.88% to AU$0.630. On 5 October 2026, the company announced it had reached financial close on debt facilities worth AU$350 million.
Rox has already made a first drawdown of AU$90.2 million from its AU$300 million Project Debt Facility and has used AU$4 million of its Bank Guarantee Facility. The money will go towards building and developing the Youanmi Gold Mine, covering engineering, procurement, underground development and infrastructure works.
Another AU$229.8 million is still available under the relevant facilities, leaving funding capacity in place as construction and commissioning advance. The company said construction is gathering pace and that it is targeting first gold in mid-2027.
