Friday was Perpetual Resources’ (ASX:PEC) big day out, up 40% on the back of a Brazilian lithium-focused “binding option deal” regarding exploration ground in Minas Gerais. And that’s 20km from the Grota do Cirilo spodumene mine owned by C$5bn capped Sigma Lithium Corp (TSXV: SGML).

Reubs. All over it here.

The Calmer Co (ASX:CCO), up 33%.

“The company formerly called Fiji Kava announced that a new product, Noble Focus, has been launched online,” wrote Eddy on Friday morning’s ever-essential Market Highlights.

“Noble Focus is a synergistic combination providing calm, focus and memory enhancement utilising the proprietary Noble Kava water extract. Noble Focus is targeting the US$4.6bn Nootropics market which has grown at 17% to US$4.6bn in 2023, and includes executives looking for an edge.”

Hmm. Nootropics.
