On Stockhead today,

Vanadium is classed as a critical mineral – with priority for development and investment – by the Australian Government due to its use in VRFBs.

Just last week, the Federal Government launched its new Critical Minerals Strategy eyeing over 250,000 jobs if we can head downstream.

Stellar Resources (ASX:SRZ) jumped 30% after the Tassie-based explorer reported hitting a significant 38.6m-long Zn-Pb-Cu mineralised zone at ‘North Scamander’ in Tasmania, from 130m depth.

The exploration hole had reached a depth of 360m on 23 June with a planned EOH depth of 750m, according to Reubs.

In second place is Imagion Biosystems (ASX:IBX), which got as high as +33% on news that it has expanded its collaboration agreement with Siemens Healthineers but has since dropped back to around +16% as the session closed

In addition to extending the existing agreement, the companies have agreed to collaborate in the United States through the far less aggravatingly-named Siemens Medical Solutions USA, in anticipation of Imagion’s undertaking a multi-site Phase-2 study for its MagSense  HER2 breast cancer imaging agent.

Cavalier Resources (ASX:CVR), was up 25% after an extensive soil geochemical program at the Ella’s Rock Li-Au-Ni project hit paydirt.

The company says it’s found three Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum (‘LCT’) bearing geochemical target areas, covering a combined 350ha.
