Carbonxt Ramps Up U.S. Expansion with Larger Stake in Kentucky Plant


 

Carbonxt Group Limited (ASX: CG1) has significantly advanced its U.S. growth ambitions by increasing its stake in the Kentucky activated carbon production facility to 43.7%. The Company invested an additional US$1 million into joint venture partner NewCarbon Processing LLC, reaffirming its commitment to scaling operations in the high-margin liquid-phase activated carbon market.

This strategic move aligns with Carbonxt’s long-term vision to reach 50% ownership of the facility, with production now just weeks away. The Kentucky plant complements Carbonxt’s existing powdered activated carbon operation in Georgia and serves as a launchpad into the larger U.S. water treatment and environmental compliance markets. Commissioning is in its final stages, with kiln testing and electrical work complete, and final insulation now underway.

To support this investment and ensure sufficient working capital, Carbonxt has raised A$1 million through a convertible note issued to major shareholder Phelbe Pty Ltd. The note features updated investor incentives, offering one unlisted option per share upon conversion, subject to shareholder approval. With a conversion price of A$0.08, 9.5% interest, and a two-year term, the funding ensures Carbonxt can continue pushing toward full operational status in FY26.

This expansion arrives at a time when global demand for activated carbon is rising sharply. Forecasts project the market to grow from USD 4.82 billion in 2024 to nearly USD 12 billion by 2034, driven by environmental regulations and the urgent need for clean water and air solutions. Carbonxt, operating in both gas and liquid-phase markets, is strategically positioned to capture this demand.

As the Kentucky facility nears production and Carbonxt strengthens its U.S. presence, the Company is well placed to deliver long-term shareholder value through innovation, scalability, and broader access to premium markets.

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...
