Wildcat Resources (ASX:WC8) chalked up another up 34.5% to take its gains for the month past 160% after announcing that it had entered into a conditional, binding agreement to acquire 100% of the Tabba Tabba Tantalum Mine and Lithium-Tantalum Project, 50km from Port Hedland in the Pilbara, WA.
In second place, after a sharp sell off last week Westar Resources (ASX:WSR) boomed again, but this time on no news. It was up 28% at lunchtime on Monday, and closing in on its recent 15 May high of $0.052 per share.
It’s been a week since Westar told the market it had found “numerous thick pegmatite intersections (up to 44 metres)” which it considered “very promising” at its Olga Rock prospect.
But, despite the fact assays from Olga Rocks are still around 5 weeks away, investors seem to be back on board, pushing WSR higher by 33.3% for the session.
Finally, Noble Helium (ASX:NHE), jumped 26% after releasing a very promising operational update from its North Rukwa project in Tanzania.
The company says it’s on track to complete its farmout by the end of May (a bit over a week away), and a deal has been struck that will see Sofori’s Drillmec HH102 rig – which is currently undergoing maintenance in Tunisia – mobilised to Tanzania in mid-June.
Honourable mention for Zuleika Gold (ASX:ZAG), which Gregor said is s”by far the day’s prime candidate for a “please explain” postcard from the ASX,” after there was a massive spike in volume (646,214 against a 4W avg of 51,841) that sent the trading price up 28.6%, “despite not even a hint of a whiff of news since the company dropped its quarterly in late April.”
