In the red
An increase in losses made investors skittish about daigou retailer AuMake (ASX:AU8).
The china-focused retailer dropped 20 per cent to 30.5c after reporting a $5.8 million loss for the year.
The company’s revenue increased 791 per cent to $9.05 million.
Jayex Healthcare (ASX:JHL) started the week down 20 per cent at 2c with no news in the market.
Pelican Resources (ASX:PEL) was down 20 cents to 1.6c as the market came to terms with the sale of its Cockatoo Island Project.
The move was announced last week, sending its shares down from 2c.
A capital raise for Aurora Labs (ASX:A3D) wasn’t good news for investors — the stock dropping 18 per cent to 81c in morning though still at a premium to its 80c offer price.
The company is looking to raise $8 million to advance development of large format technology in a partnership with the CSIRO, building on its small and medium models.
Investigator Resources (ASX:IVR) was down 16 per cent at 1.5c after revising down its copper target.
No significant copper values were anticipated from three drill holes.
“This implies the drilling has over-stepped any copper-prospective centre to the system, north of and most likely significantly deeper than the recent drilling.”
Investigator said it could no longer undertake sole exploration and would have to start looking for a joint venture partner.
