¯\_(ツ)_/¯

– Strategic Elements Ltd (ASX: SOR) will give eligible shareholders the chance to participate in a Share Purchase Plan to help fund developments in automation and robotics in its subsidiary ‘Stealth Technologies’, among other projects.

The funds will help SOR’s expansion of its AxV automated robotics software and hardware platform across multiple industry sectors, further collaborate with US Fortune 100 Company Honeywell, further develop its Nanocube Memory and other electronics materials, and supplement working capital.

Eligible shareholders can subscribe for up to $20,000 worth of shares at 6 cents each without brokerageor other costs, which represents a 15.5% discount to today’s closing price.

– Venus Metals Corporation Ltd (ASX:VMC) has begun reverse circulation drilling at the Youanmi North, Sovereign and Taylor’s Reef Prospects with its Joint Venture partner Rox Resources Limited (ASX:RXL).

Two targets at Younmi North are broadly associated with anomalous gold intersections in historical drill holes at the north-trending gold anomaly in historical soil data that extends into granite terrain.

RC drilling at Sovereign is searching for potential extensions of high-grade gold mineralisation down dip and along a newly defined northeast target trend similar to the orientation of high-grade gold reefs at the Currans North and Red White and Blue Prospects.

Drilling at Taylor’s Reef will test the down-dip and along-strike extensions of previously discovered high-grade gold mineralisation.

The current RC program totals approximately 2200m, and results are expected in a few weeks.

– And the Brainchip (ASX: BRN) bandwagon got back on tracks, also drawing a speeding inquiry after shares popped 19pc today. The only news it had for investors today was news of news to come – it’s providing a quarterly update tomorrow.

The update will include “comments on the development of the Company’s AkidaTM Neuromorphic System-on-Chip (NSoC), as well as a discussion of the markets, customers and applications served by the Akida device and intellectual property”.
