Fintech platform Way2VAT (ASX:W2V) launched its Smart Spend Debit Mastercard in partnership with Railsbank.

“Gold discovery!” Ozaurum Resources (ASX:OZM) announced after hitting 1.31g/t over 56m — including 18m @ 2.07g/t  — at the ‘Mulgabbie North’ project, next door to Northern Star’s (ASX:NST) tier 1 Carosue Dam operations in WA.

Alchemy Resources (ASX:ALY)  says the Karonie gold project in WA has soil anomalies consistent with possible hard rock lithium mineralisation.

And junior explorer Larvotto Resources (ASX:LRV), which is looking for copper, gold, cobalt, PGE and lithium across projects in Australia and New Zealand, was also in investor sights.
