Western Yilgarn (ASX:WYX) still out in front, up 60% on news the company has conducted a “desktop review” on its recently-renamed Julimar West project, which has come up with some interesting nearological conclusions.

Chief among them is that the company is confident it’s caught a bit of the nearby Gonneville Intrusion that’s powering Chalice Mining’s (ASX: CHN) fabulous Julimar project, home to the 3Mt NiEq Gonneville Resource that put CHN on the map.

Western Yilgarn is champing at the bit to get moving on the site, which it expects to get the greenlight around today, after an FNA from the application area for its EL 70/5111 exploration application was removed.

archTIS (ASX:AR9) which stacked on a 27.5% jump on news that it’s signed a $4.06 million deal with the Australian Department of Defence for software licences and services to conduct a proof of concept (PoC) to modernise their workplace environment.

ArchTIS specialises in providing “innovative software solutions for the secure collaboration of sensitive information” – so the deal looks set to do away with Australia’s vast network of heavily-armed carrier pigeons, which currently cost Australian taxpayers about $8.4 billion in statue-cleaning costs alone every year.

Parkway Corporate (ASX:PWN) saw a massive increase in volume – from a four-week average of 2.8 million to around 43 million today, driving a 22% gain despite nothing new on the ASX announcements list.

However, recent rumblings from Independent Investment Research (IIR) has flagged the company as a potential 50-bagger, saying its innovative tech for treatment of coal seam gas (CSG) brine could become best available technology with a solid financial uptick for shareholders.

Parkway did get a “please explain” from the ASX, but that looks like it’s been shrugged off, avoiding a trading halt halfway through the day.
