Carbonxt Increases Stake in Kentucky Facility as U.S. Production Nears


 

Carbonxt Group Limited (ASX: CG1) has taken a significant step toward expanding its footprint in the U.S. activated carbon market, increasing its ownership in the Kentucky production facility to 43.7%. This move comes through a strategic US$1 million investment into its joint venture partner, NewCarbon Processing LLC, as the plant prepares to begin operations in the coming weeks.

The Kentucky facility is central to Carbonxt’s transition into the high-demand liquid-phase activated carbon market, which is considerably larger and more lucrative than the Company’s current segments. The facility’s commissioning is progressing well, with key milestones such as kiln high-temperature testing and control wiring already completed. Final insulation work is underway, and production is expected to commence shortly—positioning the Company for revenue growth and margin expansion in FY26.

To fund this strategic move and meet working capital requirements, Carbonxt has successfully raised A$1 million through convertible notes issued to major shareholder Phelbe Pty Ltd. These notes include revised incentives, offering one unlisted option per share upon conversion, subject to shareholder approval. The conversion price is set at A$0.08, with a two-year term and an annual interest rate of 9.5%.

Carbonxt’s U.S. strategy goes beyond Kentucky. The company is working to strengthen its position in North America through its existing powdered activated carbon facility in Georgia, enabling it to serve both the liquid and gas-phase markets. This dual capability supports rising demand across the environmental, water treatment, and industrial sectors—areas that are experiencing strong regulatory-driven growth.

With the global activated carbon market projected to grow to nearly USD 12 billion by 2034, Carbonxt’s expansion efforts position it well for long-term value creation. The Kentucky plant not only broadens its product reach but also enhances its relevance in a market that increasingly values clean technology solutions.

Resolution Minerals Strikes Significant Gold at Horse Heaven, Idaho

Image
  Australian-listed miner Resolution Minerals (ASX: RML) has announced a breakthrough discovery at its Horse Heaven Project in Idaho, USA. The first diamond-core drill hole at the Golden Gate prospect (HH-GG25-001C) intersected a broad near-surface gold zone — 189.2 metres @ 1.30 g/t Au from a depth of just 34.1 metres. Impressively, mineralisation bottoms  out and remains open at depth. Notably, the intercept includes severa l higher-grade zones: 12.9 m @ 2.32 g/t Au from 94.4 m and 70.8 m @ 2.24 g/t Au from 128.8 m. These results suggest the presence of an intrusion-hosted gold system — a deposit style known for large tonnage potential — similar to that found at the nearby Stibnite Gold Project located only ~6 km away. The initial “Phase 1” drilling campaign comprised  10 holes totalling 2,770.6 metres, though only the first hole’s assay results have been released so far. Resolution plans to submit permits for a follow-up program of up to 50 holes to systematically test...
