Here are the big movers among small cap stocks for today, February 28.
It was a relatively quiet morning on the local index, as the ASX Small Ords fell 4.5 points to 2,759.79 at 12pm AEST, a decline of 0.16 per cent.
GOING UP
Energy company Pancontinental Oil & Gas(ASX:PCL) doubled to 0.3 cents per share on high volumes as 32.5 million shares traded hands. The move wasn’t accompanied by any announcements.
Shares in PCL are down 80 per cent from their September 2018 high of 1.1 cents per share, when the company said it had discovered a large speculative oil deposit in the Namibian Sea.
In resources, Canada-focused coal miner Atrum Coal (ASX: ATU) was the standout, rising by more than 20 per cent in morning trade.
The company’s stock price more than doubled in February, after it gave an investor update on its fully-owned Elan South coking coal project in Alberta, Canada.
