Last Orders: Mixed day for ASX stocks, but Lefroy more than triples

ASX stocks had a mixed day, but rocking the markets was a gold discovery from Lefroy Exploration (ASX:LEX), which sent it up 237 per cent.
The WA focused explorer first listed in late 2016 and reached an all time high of 69 cents after a major intercept at its Burns prospect of:
- 60m at 5.22g/t gold and 0.38 per cent copper from 112m down-hole, including
- 20m at 12.2g/t gold, 0.87 per cent copper and 1.7g/t silver from 144m.
The rest of the markets were more subdued with the ASX Emerging Companies Index falling 0.65 per cent to 2,095 points and the ASX Small Ords rising a modest 0.15 per cent to 3,180.
The ASX 200 meanwhile gained 0.86 per cent to 6,839 points – in a result driven largely by energy and materials.
