Tempest started yesterday with a bang, and things got even better through the course of the session as investors re-rated the stock following a big copper discovery from the first drill-holes at Orion, part of its flagship ‘Meleya’ project in WA.

The stock closed at 2.3c on Friday following a 15% jump, before surging by almost 300% in Monday trade to close at 8.7c.

Tempest’s drill program pulled up three mineralised copper sections, including one to “end of hole” which suggests the mineralisation continues at depth.

Riedel Resources (ASX:RIE) said its reverse circulation drill program remains on track at its Kingman gold project in Arizona, with first assay results due in June or “hopefully sooner, subject to laboratory turnaround”, the company said.

And gold explorer Octanex (ASX:OXX) surged by more than 50% on no news.

Based in WA, the company is on the hunt for large scale gold systems via three projects in the Eastern Goldfields.
