Not a good day to put bad news out to market.

Hawsons Iron (ASX:HIO) will slow work on a project bankable feasibility study due to “escalating global costs and deteriorating economic conditions”.

The BFS will not be completed by the end of December 2022, it says.

Low grade gold drilling results from Nelson Resources’ (ASX:NES) Woodline and Tempest projects failed to impress investors.

Construction materials and lime producer Adbri (ASX:ABC) today advises that Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Nick Miller will be leaving the role.

ABC also said earnings have continued to be impacted by ongoing wet weather conditions affecting volume and cost, and an escalation of input and operational costs.

Another trading update came from fruit and veg grower Costa Group (ASX:CGC) which says adverse weather conditions — including both higher rainfall and cooler temperatures – have impacted citrus harvest quality.

This has resulted in considerably lower packouts as well as reduced volumes of first grade fruit for export.

“The effort to produce the crop in challenging conditions has also caused an increase in labour expenditure as well as higher spraying costs in relation to pest and disease control,” it says.

“The net outcome to date plus the forecast for the balance of the citrus season is expected to translate into full year EBITDA-S for the Citrus category that is considerably lower than previously forecast.”
