StockTake: Brightstar Resources
Stockhead's Tylah Tully looks at the latest from Brightstar Resources (ASX:BTR) and drilling at its Western Australian Sandstone Hub, where new high-grade gold assays from the Musketeer deposit are likely marked for a resource upgrade.
Panning of drill spoil from a 1 metre interval returning 356 g/t gold also recovered numerous gold nuggets and coarse visible gold, and results highlight an open span of mineralisation as Brightstar looks towards a much-anticipated pre-feasibility study.

Commonwealth Bank reveals $45m hit from Bankwest restructure plan
Australia's biggest bank has taken a $130 million hit, partly driven by increased restructuring costs at Bankwest. Commonwealth Bank closed the final remaining metropolitan Bankwest branch in Mandurah at the end of last year as it shifted the 130-year-old Western Australian financial institution to a fully-digital model. Markets were told on Tuesday the price tag of that restructure had lifted by $45m, which will be reflected in CBA's annual results due next week. The extra expenses were driven by the cost of 'transitioning of Bankwest to a digital bank and the transition of Bankwest business banking to CBA', investors were told. The digital-only plan was announced in March last year and was expected to cost 350 jobs. About 60 branches were closed or rebranded as CBA — mostly in regional areas. Commonwealth also announced an extra $85m had been spent on customer remediation, including for Kiwi subsidiary bank ASB. The company did not further clarify those costs but had previously reported ABS was hit by a class action in New Zealand over consumer finance law compliance failures. The full $130m provision will weigh on the company's operating results. Shares in CBA lifted 0.9 per cent to be $176.50 just befor midday.

Lunch Wrap: ASX comes out swinging, rare earth stocks catch fire on price floor plan
ASX fires up as Wall Street sniffs rate cuts
 Rare earth stocks climb after Canberra hints floor price plan Telix tanks as ballooning costs spook investors The ASX 200 came out swinging on Tuesday, with the benchmark index jumping 1% by lunchtime in the east. Behind the rally was Wall Street, where jittery traders turned into bargain hunters as all three major indexes jumped over 1%. Back home, the good vibes got an extra kick from rising consumer confidence this morning. The ANZ-Roy Morgan index jumped to 90.6, its highest reading since the RBA started its rate-hiking crusade back in May 2022. That mood music flowed nicely into the market itself. All 11 sectors on the ASX were in the green by mid-morning, with tech, miners and consumer discretionary stocks leading the pack. Meanwhile, rare earth stocks such as Iluka Resources (ASX:ILU) and Lynas (ASX:LYC) rallied after reports the Aussie government might pull a Trump-style move and set a floor price for rare earths. The Trump administration has already announced it was pushing a price floor to boost US rare earths production and cut reliance on China. The idea of a government stepping in to backstop the price of critical minerals is enough to get investors clicking 'buy'. Among large cap news, debt collector Credit Corp Group (ASX:CCP) absolutely stole the spotlight, flying 16% after posting a 16% jump in full-year profit to $94.1 million. Shipbuilder Austal (ASX:ASB) lifted 6% as it locked in a sovereign defence shipbuilding role with the federal government, and upgraded earnings guidance to not less than $100 million. The move came hot on the heels of news that Japan has scored a $10 billion deal to build three stealth frigates for the Royal Australian Navy. Meanwhile, Telix Pharmaceuticals (ASX:TLX) took a savage 20% beating after revealing that operating expenses had ballooned in the first half of FY25. The company, which recently switched to reporting in US dollars, flagged that OPEX (excluding R&D) will hit about 36% of revenue … which spooked the market.

The retail component set to raise a further $1.15 million when it opens on 8 August. Funds will help SRJ kick off a 50:50 joint venture in the Middle East worth over US$6 million. Electro Optic Systems (ASX:EOS) has landed a EUR 71.4 million (around $125 million) export order from a European NATO member for its new 100kW high-power laser weapon system, designed to take down drone swarms. It's the world's first export order for a laser of this class, with delivery set for 2025-2028. Macro Metals (ASX:M4M) has locked in $2 million from new and existing professional investors at 0.7 cents a share. Non-exec chair Tolga Kumova is chipping in $311k of that, pending shareholder approval in November. The funds will go towards exploration at the Turner iron ore project, technical services at the Extension iron project, and ramping up its mining services arm. Falcon Metals (ASX:FAL) has hit visible gold in multiple stacked veins at its Blue Moon prospect, just north of the 22Moz Bendigo Goldfield. The third wedge hole is drilling right down the fold hinge, and has struck quartz veining, sulphides, and what looks like a 7.6m saddle reef. Assays are pending. And, Boss Energy (ASX:BOE) is still licking its wounds after last week's brutal 44% crash, triggered by a cost and production downgrade at its Honeymoon uranium project. In a formal reply to the ASX today, Boss defended its disclosure timing, saying it only finalised the new guidance on July 27, one day before releasing it. Shares rose 5%. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT positive case report has highlighted the therapeutic potential of Argent BioPharma's (ASX:RGT) cannabinoid therapy CannEpil in treatment-resistant epilepsy.
