An announcement from Iris Metals Limited ( (AU:IR1) ) is now available.

Iris Metals has reinforced its position in U.S. critical minerals after raising A$5.5 million and advancing work across its South Dakota and Montana projects. The company is preparing an updated mineral resource estimate for the Beecher project that will, for the first time, incorporate significant high-grade rubidium mineralisation alongside its existing JORC lithium resource.

In Montana, Iris executed a definitive farm-in agreement over the Finley Basin tungsten project, supported by a substantial historical Union Carbide dataset and a non-JORC reserve reference, and has lodged key exploration approvals ahead of drilling targeted for the September quarter. A concurrent board reshuffle aims to support its accelerated U.S.-focused growth strategy as Iris pursues a diversified critical minerals platform aligned with structural domestic demand trends.
