Superloop Hits 954k Customers as It Eyes $1B Revenue Target

Superloop is firing on all cylinders as it heads into FY27. The telecommunications company added 18.5k customers to reach 954k total, with particularly strong momentum in its consumer segment, which picked up 23k net new customers despite a recent price increase. The business segment also chipped in with 2.3k additions, though wholesale saw some expected seasonal softness.

The company is backing this growth with solid financial guidance. FY27 Underlying EBITDA is forecast to land between $148m and $156m—a healthy 21% to 27% jump from FY26's $122.7m. Capital expenditure is expected to sit between $58m and $62m as the company continues investing in its infrastructure.

Looking further ahead, Superloop has set an ambitious target for FY29: over $1B in group revenue and $200m in group EBITDA. With momentum building across the board, the company appears well-positioned to chase those numbers.

Auric Mining Bolsters Gold Portfolio with Iron Maiden Acquisition

Auric Mining is expanding its gold footprint with the acquisition of the Iron Maiden Gold Project from Boomerang Mining Capital. The deal comes with a modest upfront price tag of A$1 million in cash, plus A$3 million in loan reimbursements.

The project itself carries some compelling numbers. Historical mineral resources total 1.4 million tonnes at 1.5 grams per tonne gold, translating to roughly 68,500 ounces. What makes this particularly attractive is that approximately 75% of the historical resource sits within 50 metres of the surface—shallow enough to potentially keep extraction costs down. Located just 5km south of Norseman in Western Australia and roughly 180km from Auric's Burbanks processing facility, the project offers immediate exploration upside. Auric plans to validate the historical drilling data and conduct infill and step-out drilling to assess production potential.

The company requested a trading halt ahead of these announcements to manage its continuous disclosure obligations, with the halt set to lift by November 12.
