GOING UP

Cancer biotech Race Oncology (ASX:RAC) more than doubled today after starting the hunt for a “sale, licence, partnership, collaborative venture or other arrangement” for its drug Bisantrene.

Race’s shares shot up 123 per cent to an intraday high of 23.5c.

That’s good news for shareholders who’ve watched the share price steadily decline from around 50c at the start of the year

Race has signed up New York-based Biosynergy Partners, owned by one of Race’s directors, to look for deals for the drug.

Bisantrene is a chemotherapy drug that was tested in more than 40 clinical studies before it was “lost” in a series of pharmaceutical mergers in the 1990s.

Musgrave Minerals ASX:MGV) continued to make ground after reporting high-grade gold discoveries at its flagship project in Western Australia last week.

The stock hit a 12-month high of 10c today — alnost doubling its price in little more than two weeks (see graph below).

Last week Musgrave boss Rob Waugh said the company’s Lake Austin North project was “is proving to be a large, well-mineralised system and the current diamond drilling program will aim to further outline the size and grade of this new and exciting gold discovery”.

Pancontinental Oil and Gas (ASX: PCL) gained 50 per cent to 0.3c after Raven Energy (ASX: REL) signed a binding deal to buy its Bombora Natural Energy subsidiary.

Bombora in particular holds a 10 per cent interest in the Dempsey gas project in California’s Sacramento Basin.

CFOAM (ASX:CFO) moved ahead after telling investors yesterday that “promising sales momentum over the latter part of the September quarter has continued into October”.

The stock was up 21 per cent to 17c in early Thursday trade.

“The company is on track to achieve a new record of quarterly cash receipts in the December quarter,” the company said.

CFOAM makes super-strength, fire-resistant carbon foam products for the aerospace, energy and defence sectors.
