On Stockhead today, There’s a reason why ASX explorers are flooding into South Australia and it’s not just to get their before the Canadians do. Jessica Cummins has the story.

Since taking the reins as CEO and MD about 7 years ago, Lynas Rare Earths (ASX:LYC) boss Amanda Lacaze has grown Lynas from a $133 million tonka toy into $7 billion Aussie icon.

She tells Stockhead’s Nadine McGrath in this exclusive, tell-all expose that the secret to running a cracking business is unlocking the true capability of your people.

True dat. And digging up a bunch of rare earths. Double true dat.

Also: Canadians. Americans with the volume turned down?

We just don’t know. 

But first, the day ahead.

Fleet and safety management company Eroad (ASX:ERD) up +62% (down from +69.5 at lunch), on news of an unsolicited, non-binding indicative proposal from Brillian APAC, part of the Volaris Group, itself part of Canada’s Toronto Stock Exchange-listed Constellation Software Inc (TSX:CSU).

The proposal on the table is for 100% of ERD at $1.30 per share, well above its $1.13 open this morning – and at present, even with the day’s climb, it’s sitting below the Volaris offer price on $1.14 a pop.

Estrella Resources (ASX:ESR), gained 57% after signing an agreement with another bunch of Canucks, this time the Canadian-based geophysical firm Expert Geophysics to commence a world-first helicopter-borne electromagnetic survey (TargetEM) at the company’s Carr Boyd nickel-copper-PGE project, approximately 80km NNW of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.

Errawarra Resources (ASX:ERW), 38% the better – no new news – just the old news they’re continuing to explore potentially good lithium land near-abouts some proven lithium land that is not Canadian.

They put this out on the ASX about a week ago:

Screenshot: Via ASX

And this a little earlier, I believe:

“Errawarra has a significant and strategic tenement land holding of 100km2 adjacent to Azure Minerals (ASX:AZS) and their recent lithium discovery. This has given Errawarra confidence that its ongoing exploration work will deliver further potential targets for testing. This region has been under-explored for battery metals including lithium.”

Anyway.

Up 150% for June.
