Wonarah Moves Toward a Development Decision

Avenira advanced planning for the Wonarah phosphate project during the September quarter. The company outlined a target to begin pre-stripping in the fourth quarter of calendar 2026 and to achieve an initial direct-shipping-ore shipment in the first half of 2027. Those milestones remain subject to approvals, funding and operational readiness. Additional product-qualification sampling commenced in October to refine commercial specifications and pricing discussions under its Hebang offtake arrangements, while also supporting engagement with potential customers.

Financing Arrangements Support the Project Pathway

A placement with Hebang raising approximately AUD 8.79 million was completed on 1 July. Avenira also announced a three-for-two renounceable entitlement offer at AUD 0.006 per share, targeting up to approximately AUD 49 million before costs. Subsequent Facility arrangements with Hebang provided access to up to AUD 85 million, comprising an AUD 50 million development term Loan and an AUD 35 million revolving working-capital facility. Availability and use of funding must be considered alongside the relevant facility terms and project requirements.

Jundee South Drilling Adds a Separate Workstream

At Jundee South in Western Australia, air-core drilling began in September after work-program approvals and heritage surveys. The planned campaign comprises 182 holes for 11,590 metres, supported by an exploration budget of approximately AUD 2.637 million. At quarter-end, 79 holes for 5,694 metres had been completed. Samples were being submitted to a Kalgoorlie laboratory, with results expected during the December quarter. The work tests targets selected through geological interpretation of aeromagnetic and historical exploration information.

Upcoming Work and Execution Conditions

The immediate Wonarah priorities are product qualification, commercial preparations, funding implementation and the steps needed before mining-related activity begins. At Jundee South, completion of drilling and receipt of assays will determine which targets Warrant further attention. Avenira has not reported a completed first shipment from Wonarah, and the published timetable remains conditional. The two projects involve different stages and risks: one is being prepared for a potential direct-shipping-ore operation, while the other remains an exploration program awaiting analytical results.
