The S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Index wrapped up last week on a positive note, closing Friday up by 0.28% at 3,236.10, capping a weekly gain of 0.41%. As the new trading week unfolds, several noteworthy developments across the small cap space are drawing investor attention, spanning green infrastructure, resource-rich acquisitions, and robust energy updates.

Green360 Charts Sustainable Future with MoU

Green360 Technologies, through its subsidiary Climate Tech Cement Pty Ltd, has taken a step towards sustainable infrastructure. The company has entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Permacast R&D Pty Ltd, affiliated with Western Australian precast specialist PERMAcast. The agreement aims to co-develop and bring to market low-carbon retaining wall blocks. This collaboration aligns both parties with broader decarbonisation goals, positioning Green360 (ASX:G360) within the growing eco-conscious construction solutions sector.

Lightning Minerals Targets Gold and Copper Expansion

Lightning Minerals (ASX:L1M) is making a strategic leap into gold and copper exploration. It has signed a binding agreement to fully acquire Lotus Minerals Pty Ltd, which holds interests in two brownfield projects: Mt Turner in Queensland and the Lachlan Fold Copper Porphyry Project in New South Wales. These projects are known for their potential in gold and copper mineralisation. With near-term drill-ready prospects, the acquisition strengthens Lightning’s position in mineral-rich regions and supports ambitions to grow in core commodity markets.

D3 Energy Delivers Promising Gas Results

D3 Energy (ASX:D3E) has announced a strong production update from its multi-well test campaign at the ER315 permit in South Africa. Of particular note is the RBD03 well, which recorded an average gas flow rate of 194 Mscfd over 14 days—a 32% improvement post-cleanout. These results are expected to bolster the company’s maiden reserve certification and support its upcoming application for a Production Right.

Antipa Minerals Drilling Returns Positive Assays

Antipa Minerals (ASX:AZY) has released assay results from the first 66 drill holes of its 2025 Phase 1 program at the Minyari Gold-Copper Project in Western Australia’s Paterson Province. The campaign aims to expand current mineral resources and feed into future development planning. These early results signal encouraging potential for resource growth.

Resolution Minerals Strengthens Technical Bench

Resolution Minerals (ASX:RML) has appointed Austin Zinsser, P.G., as Technical Advisor. He brings critical expertise to advance exploration at the company’s Horse Heaven Project in Idaho, a polymetallic resource comprising antimony, gold, silver, and tungsten. The appointment supports Resolution’s ambition to unlock the value of this diverse asset.
