ASX Small Cap Lunch Wrap: Who’s finding beer in unexpected places today?
News

When storm drains overflow the result is often muddy water and some kind of council clean up, but the Waipio district on the main island of Hawaii recently ended up with…beer?
Locals reported the busted storm drain after water started gushing out of it — even though it hadn’t been raining.
In addition, the drain smelt more like a local pub.
Analysis of the spill showed the water contained traces of alcohol and sugar.
And the local Department of Transportation — owner of the pipe infrastructure — eventually ascertained that the spill came from Paradise Beverages, which owns a warehouse across the street.
The company is now working with local authorities to locate the possible source of the leak.
On markets, there were no ‘polluted water’ vibes this morning with the ASX on track to post a strong finish to the week.
After treading water for a few days, the ASX 200 rallied by 1% into midday trade. Resources was the big winner, as all of the major miners shot higher by between 3-4%.
Energy stocks also rebounded, with more moderate gains for the big banks.
In other markets, the Aussie dollar has come under downside pressure this week and is currently trading below US73c.
Bitcoin has steadied just below US$65,000 after slipping backwards in Thursday trade.

Among stocks with news in morning trade, The Sustainable Nutrition Group (ASX:TSN) got a boost after announcing a deal with Australian Plant Proteins (APP) to develop hemp concentrate and isolates.
“APP is a premium plant-based powder processing, packaging and distribution business, with state-of-the-art facilities in Werribee and Horsham, Victoria, which has recently undergone a $50m investment from a leading global agri-food company,” TSN said.

Among stocks in the red, Greenland Minerals (ASX:GGG) plummeted after regulators in Greenland said ‘no dice’ when it comes to mining mineral resources with a uranium content of 100 parts per million or more.
As Stockhead’s Bevis Yeo highlighted this morning, that puts GGG’s Kvanefjeld project and its 0.036% (360ppm) uranium oxide content squarely in the crosshairs.
