Good afternoon. Here are all the big winners and losers so far today in the land of ASX small caps.
First – if you thought that was Arnold Schwarzenegger you passed on the way to work this morning, you were probably right:
Speaking of a leisurely morning ride, the ASX Small Ords ambled towards midday and by 12pm AEST it had edged lower to 2791.60, a fall of 0.17%.
Here’s the state of play at lunch Tuesday, March 19:
As is often the case, many of the big moves higher in percentage terms this morning were seen among the mining minnows.
Results showed Austpac Resources (ASX: APG) jumped by 50 per cent to 0.2 cents, after receiving an $803,000 cash injection from a China-based company to complete testing for its zinc-iron recovery process.
Dateline Resources (ASX:DTR) jumped by the same amount to 0.3 cents a share, one day after a bunch of shares changed hands among directors and substantial holders.
Elsewhere, satellite manufacturer Beam Communications (ASX:BCC) jumped almost 30 per cent to 22 cents per share following an investor presentation this morning.
The company makes narrow-band satellites for global corporate supply chains and the Internet of Things, and counts former Netcomm CEO David Stewart as a major shareholder.

Among the bigger players dragging the chain, $450m concrete company Wagners Holding Co Ltd (ASX: WGN) was down more than 16 per cent, a day after announcing a pricing dispute in a contract with Boral.
