Carbonxt Posts Robust Margin Gains as Kentucky Facility Nears Commissioning

Carbonxt Group Ltd (ASX: CG1) has delivered impressive financial results in the first half of FY25, signaling a strong operational rebound. Revenue climbed 13% year-over-year to AUD 7.4 million, driven primarily by its Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) segment, which now accounts for 67% of sales volume and 53% of revenue. The company’s gross margin surged to 49%, up from 44% in the same period last year—and well ahead of the 28% recorded in HY23—thanks to improved pricing strategies and manufacturing efficiencies at its Arden Hills facility

A major highlight for the company has been the mechanical completion of its Kentucky activated carbon plant in December 2024. The facility boasts an initial capacity of 10,000 tonnes per annum, with potential to scale to 20,000 tonnes with minimal further investment. Carbonxt holds a 40.3% stake in the project, with an opportunity to increase to 50% through additional funding.

To support its ongoing expansion and operations, Carbonxt secured a total of AUD 4.02 million through two share placements and a Share Purchase Plan. These funds provide the flexibility needed to scale production, pursue new partnerships, and fuel product innovation.

Looking ahead, the company is targeting full-scale commissioning of the Kentucky plant. Concurrently, it is pursuing strategic expansion into high-value markets—particularly waste-to-energy and water purification—supported by evolving regulatory frameworks for mercury and PFAS contamination.

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...
