Small Caps’ early leader yesterday, Pinnacle Minerals (ASX:PIM) announced early in the day that it was all set to get the drills back to its Disruptor prospect on 15 May, where the company has been poking around and turned up some pretty chunky-looking rock chip samples that it reported to the market on 19 April.
In the space of around 90 minutes, investors piled in, sending PIM’s trading price skyward by 80% until the ASX noticed it was moving pretty quickly, and slammed on the emergency brakes with a trading pause and a speeding ticket.
PIM reacted pretty quickly, replying to the ASX just before 1:00pm with a “nothing to see here” that was deemed satisfactory by the Gains Police.
Trading resumed at 1:06pm, but the fervour had waned and a big slice of the company’s gains had evaporated.
However, a late-arvo surge saw the PIM end up +55% for the day – still well out in front of the Small Caps pack, but probably wondering what might have been.
Global Oil & Gas (ASX:GLV) ended the session up 50% on half-a-handful of volume, ahead of Coolabah Metals (ASX:CBH) pocketing a very tidy 30.2% gain on the back of recent purchase news.
CBH has inked a deal to acquire 113km2 of lithium exploration claims located within 20km of Patriot Battery Metals’ (Patriot) Corvette property in the James Bay region of Quebec and a 70km2 project in Northwestern Ontario near Frontier Lithium’s (Frontier) PAK and Spark properties.
Lithium hunting in Canada is clearly still The Next Big Thing for investors, and the news has prompted a solid boost for Coolabah.
And a late runner into third spot on yesterday’s worth-mentioning winners list was recent high-flyer 4DMedical (ASX:4DX), which added another 22% to its already impressive tally, taking its monthly climb to +264.5%.
4DX jumped after announcing the successful completion of the company’s first commercial XV LVAS scan within the VA, conducted at Harry S. Truman Memorial Veterans Hospital in Colombia, Missouri.
The VA referred to here is the United States Veterans Health Administration, which is a massive network of health providers set up to assist the massive numbers of former military personnel in the US.
The scan using the XV LVAS system is a four-dimensional scan.
