“Outstanding” results from gold explorer Lodestar (ASX:LSR) pushed its shares to the front at lunch — up 70 per cent to 3.9c at one point. The shares were trading at 3.6c by 1pm AEST.
The explorer reported its best ever drill results at its Contessa site — which it says extends well beyond current drilling — as well as its highest grades to date at Gidgee Flat.
The results required immediate follow up, with more diamond drilling planned.
Accounting tech Iodm (ASX:IOD) surged 53 per cent to 2c on news of its latest licensing contract with a “world leading services business”.
The client — said to have been established in 1984 and now managing 4500 contractors in Australia and overseas — will license Iodm’s accounts receivables platform.
“IODM has now proven that it not only greatly increases cash flow collection but introduces cost savings, efficiencies and a better customer service focus that will help streamline a company’s entire end-to-end solution,” chairman Mark Reilly told the market.
Blockchain logistics tech Yojee (ASX:YOJ) gained 32 per cent to 15.2c on news it had signed a deal with the world’s biggest logistics provider, Germany’s DB Schenker.
DB Schenker’s Asia Pacific arm will pay YOJ a fee to implement its platform into e-commerce and last-mile operations covering warehousing, wharf cartage and route optimisation.
YOJ says the deal could lead to a broader regional tech rollout after an initial four-month project.
The shares cooled to 14c by 1pm AEST.
Zinc explorer Superior Lake Resources (ASX:SUP) is this week hitting the road, presenting to investors in Sydney and Melbourne — and its share price is on the up.
SUP was trading up 21 per cent to 4c at 1pm AEST Tuesday.
It’s looking to restart a Canadian zinc operation that was closed in 1998 due to low zinc prices — but has new potential thanks to recent exploration.
Broken Hill prospector Ausmon Resources (ASX:AOA) was up 10 per cent to 1.1c with no news in the market.
Last week, it announced subsidiary New Base Metals had been granted two exploration licences in NSW — with a third expected soon.
