Here are the key ASX small cap winners and losers at lunchtime Wednesday July 18:
The ASX Small Ords was up 22.8 points or 0.8 per cent to 2836 at 12.30pm AEST.
GOING UP
ASX debutante New Zealand dairy company Keytone Dairy (ASX:KTD) rang the bell at noon — and promptly jumped more than 50 per cent to 30.5c compared to 20c issue price.
Keytone makes whole and skim milk powder and other dairy powder blends under its proprietary brands. It raised $15 million through an initial public offer.
Dairy and infant formula stocks have been one of the best performing small cap themes over the past year.
Biotech Race Oncology (ASX:RAC) jumped by as much as 67 per cent in the first hours of Wednesday on news its cancer drug Bisantrene had been granted Rare Paediatric Disease designation. It is now hoping to be fast-tracked for approval by US authorities.
The classification of the drug candidate, which is focused on treating childhood acute myeloid leukaemia, means Race could be awarded a priority review voucher for fast-tracked approval from the US Food and Drug Administration if it performs a clinical trial of the drug subject to certain requirements.
Race’s share price hit an intraday high of 26c, up from Tuesday’s 15.5c closing price.
Lithium Australia (ASX:LIT) gained 25 per cent to 12.5c after confirming it had started producing commercial samples of its lithium-ion cathode material for the global battery market.
The cathode is used to conduct electricity flows out of batteries.
Its subsidiary VSPC has now fully recommissioned its pilot production facilities in Brisbane.
Envirotech play Envirosuite (ASX:EVS) also had a strong morning, up 25 per cent to 6.5c after announcing a $324,000 subscription deal with Chilean ag giant Agrosuper.
Vanadium miner Hardey Resources (ASX:HDY) saw a 25 per cent jump, going to an intraday high of 0.5c after releasing more details of its due diligence on the Nelly Vanadium project.
The explorer outlined a number of comparative advantages for re-opening the mine, including the ability to fast track launch and quickly monetise the operations.
