Dental group Smiles Inclusive (ASX: SIL) led the market higher with an intra-day gain of more than 40 per cent.
The company announced this morning that it had renegotiated terms with its major lender, including a waiver of past breaches of its debt covenants.
Freehill Mining (ASX: FHS) also roared ahead, after hitting a high-grade iron ore deposit close to the surface at its Chilean mining project.
And blockchain logistics company Security Matters (ASX: SMX) was a standout performer, posting a gain of more than 30 per cent in morning trade.
It follows the announcement of a feasibility study with German multinational BASF, the global chemical producer.
The two companies will work to assess how SMX’s supply chain logistics technology can be used to improve BASF’s global operations.
And we couldn’t not mention this:
That’s a chunk of gold AuStar sliced through at McNally’s Reef. It reckons it’s hitting some grades higher than 870 grams per tonne.
Woof.
