Here are the key ASX small cap winners and losers at lunch Tuesday Sep 4:

The ASX Small Ords was up three points or 0.1 per cent to 2,877.7 at 12.45pm AEST.

GOING UP

Chemical waste water treatment company SciDev (ASX:SDV) rose 22 per cent to an intraday high of 1.1c — its highest point since February — after announcing a commercial trial of its OptiFlox System at an Iluka Resources (ASX:ILU) mineral sands operation.

SciDev told shareholders yesterday it had received a purchase order — but kept mum on the identity of the buyer until this morning. It’s expected to run three to six months.

SciDev is one of a handful of companies tackling waste water treatment, a sector that appears to be trending down of late.

Gina Rinehart-backed Lakes Oil (ASX:LKO) rose 50 per cent to an intraday high of 0.3c with 21 million trades after it increased its voting power in Rawson Oil & Gas (ASX:RAW) to 64.43 per cent.

Last month Stockhead reported that the two were attempting to tie the knot. At the time, Lakes chairman Chris Tonkin said he felt confident the Rawson shareholders would allow the deal.

Emperor Energy (ASX:EMP) was up 33 per cent to 0.4 this morning after telling investors late yesterday that it had made significant progress towards completing an independent resource statement for its Judith Gas Field in the offshore Gippsland Basin.

The reservoir engineering studies have been completed and have been handed over for independent auditing and assessment.

Alligator Energy (ASX:AGY) was up 11 per cent to an intraday high of 10c after telling investors it had started drilling for uranium at its Arnhem Land site.

Though there was no news, IPB Petroleum (ASX:IPB) found its stock tumbling 11 per cent today to an intraday low of 8.3c.

Stockhead reported IPB’s remarkable 132 per cent rise a couple of weeks ago, which attracted a query from the ASX.
