Here are the key ASX small cap winners and losers at lunch Tuesday November 20:

The ASX Small Ords was down 34.8 points or 1.3 per cent to 2,569.3 at 12.10pm AEDT.

GOING UP

Pilbara gold play Kairos Minerals (ASX:KAI) has found two new gold nugget patches that have yielded another 135 nuggets at its Croydon project.

They weighed in at 11.1 ounces and investors loved the news, sending shares up nearly 30 per cent to an intra-day high of 3.1c on Tuesday morning.

Purifloh (ASX:PO3) shares have risen 73 per cent this morning, to an intraday and year-long high of $3.20 after equity researchers Beer & Co raised its valuation of the company to a whopping $20 a share.

That is based off US billionaire Bill Parfet paying a 5x premium for a significant stake in the company.

Hipo Resources (ASX:HIP) got a 17 per cent boost in share price this morning, to 1.4c, after reporting “rapid progress” being made by Next-Battery, a lithium-ion battery tech company in which Hipo has a 35pc interest.

Laboratory studies on the cathode by Next-Battery’s scientists show the technology can more than double the specific energy of the best commercial lithium-ion batteries today, such as the new Tesla/Panasonic 2170 cell used in the Tesla Model 3 battery pack, Hipo said.

First Graphene (ASX:FGR) shares rose 14 per cent to an intraday high of 16.5c today after it told investors it had moved into the cement industry.

“In the latest development, the company is pleased to confirm further progress in its R&D collaboration with newGen Group,” it said in a statement.

“newGen will supply a wear lining system for dryer chute applications to a large Australian cement producer in their Perth facility. They are a leading supplier of cement and lime to the Western Australia’s mining, agriculture and construction industries.”
