A mysterious surge in activity around mining minnow Labyrinth Resources (ASX:LRL) propelled it into top spot with a 6x spike against its 4-week average volume driving it 66.7% ahead.
Manuka Resources (ASX:MKR) gained 29.6% after announcing that it’s ready to recommence gold production at Mt Boppy, with a build-up targeting approximately 25koz per year of gold for about three years.
BPH Energy (ASX:BPH) saw some serious gains after being reinstated to trading after a three-month suspension by the ASX.
BPH was bounced after a major national news outlet published claims that the 30.7% BPH-owned PEP-11 gas project could be pumping out product by 2024, after BPH reportedly seeded the story through a small-caps focused website.
LayBuy (ASX:LBY) jumped 29.6% ahead of delisting on Friday, and Besra Gold (ASX:BEZ) added another 26.7% to yesterday’s cracking haul, which came on news that it’s inked an (up to) US$300m gold pre-purchase and offtake non-binding drawdown funding facility term sheet with major shareholder Quantum Metal Recovery.
