  • AOK: California Moves & Surat Basin Push Ahead of 2026

    AOK: California Moves & Surat Basin Push Ahead of 2026
    Dec 11 2025
    Australian Oil Company (AOK.ASX) is in the spotlight as it pivots its strategy toward controlling more of its California assets while expanding into the Surat Basin. In this quick analysis, we break down what the latest leadership update means for shareholders and the path to 2026. What’s new - Strategy: The company is increasing its working interests in California to rationalise joint ventures and steer its own destiny there, with three new project opportunities aimed at exploration upside. - Operations: AOK currently operates 29 wells in California; the focus is on cost-neutral projects and converting them into value rather than relying on partners with differing views. - Portfolio moves: A binding agreement to acquire ex-State Resources’ working interests in the Sacramento Basin signals a shift in asset control and the ability to bring in new partners. Why it matters - Regulation and consolidation: California drilling permits are being issued again after a long pause, and sector deals like CRC’s merger with Berry highlight ongoing consolidation that could affect asset value and non-core assets. - Growth trajectory to 2026: Management emphasised stepping into new jurisdictions and consolidating the current position to drive performance in the coming years, with stronger gas demand on the east coast and data-centre-driven gas usage. What to watch next - How AOK funds further land acquisitions and expands exploration upside, particularly in the Surat Basin and selected new land positions. - The outcome of partnerships and potential new joint ventures as the Sacramento Basin deal progresses.

  • Cobalt Blue: Kwinana Refinery Progress, Black Mass plan & 2026 Outlook

    Cobalt Blue: Kwinana Refinery Progress, Black Mass plan & 2026 Outlook
    Dec 9 2025
    Australia's COB.ASX presents a pivotal update on Cobalt Blue Holdings as it advances the Kwinana cobalt refinery (KCR) and pivots to battery black mass recycling at Broken Hill (BHTC). In this deep-dive, James Whelan chats with Dr. Andrew Tong, CEO, to unpack progress on permits, binding feedstock agreements, and customer qualification that position KCR for a potential Final Investment Decision in 2026. The video also covers the Broken Hill technology centre, the business case refresh for KCR including an upgraded MPV (≈A$150m), expected free cash flow of A$30–40m/year, and the plan to finance construction with a roughly A$60m capex. We examine cobalt price dynamics in 2026, including DRC policy shifts (ban then quotas) and the implications for Australian producers, the move to alloy-grade cobalt for defence and aerospace, and why Black Mass recycling could become a domestic feedstock loop for cobalt, nickel, lithium and graphite. We also touch on nearby assets (Horse Creek) and how the company intends to secure binding offtakes as part of the financing process. Timestamps below for quick navigation.
