Here are the big movers among small cap stocks for today, March 12:
WINNERS
Gold/copper explorer Encounter Resources (ASX: ENR) jumped more than 20 per cent after announcing the expansion of their joint venture projects in Western Australia.
Investors are also getting excited about Tietto Minerals (ASX: TIE), which spiked more than 30 per cent after announcing more high-grade gold discoveries at its project in Côte d’Ivoire, West Africa.
And Parkd (ASX: PKD) rose by 20 per cent in morning trade after a Perth Subaru dealership agreed to pay $690,000 for a 49-bay carpark built by Parkd last year.
Also of note, Payment transfer platform InPayTech (ASX: IP1) jumped sharply after announcing the cannibalisation of one its products.
The company has cancelled its Bill Exchange offering — used to support payments in the real estate industry — “effective immediately”.
Enter PayVu, which “makes Bill Exchange redundant as PayVu can be used for all business payments and delivers greater security and automation”, InPayTech said. Its shares jumped by more than 60 per cent to 3.4 cents, after a sharp fall in February.
And gains were led by the tiny Tamaska Oil & Gas Ltd (ASX: TMK), which posted a 100 per cent increase to 0.2 cents a share, despite the absence of any market updates.
