Good morning everyone, and welcome to Friday, December 1st.

Aussie shares are poised to slide lower on the first day of December after a mixed day on Wall Street. At 8am AEDT, the ASX 200 index futures was pointing down by -0.1%.

On Stockhead today…

S2 Resources (ASX:S2R) has begun a maiden drilling program at its Greater Fosterville project. The Mark Bennett-led explorer won the Victorian Government tender for the 394km2 tenement surrounding Agnico Eagle’s Fosterville gold mine in 2021. But can it find a repeat of Fosterville’s famous ~50g/t Swan Zone?

‎And Nadine McGrath’s got all the tech winners for November as the sector stretches its lead over the benchmark this year.

 

First, the day ahead…

Yesterday’s Small Caps highlights:

Cooper Metals (ASX:CPM) found more copper at its Brumby Ridge Prospect at the Mt Isa East Cu-Au project.

The latest assays look convincing – and the company says they “confirm bonanza copper grades” at Brumby Ridge.

For example, the drill hole called 23MERC028, returned:

– 71m @ 2.8% Cu & 0.05 g/t Au from 115m to end of hole at 186m, including:  24m @ 5.4% Cu and 0.10g/t Au from 115m hole 23MERC028 ended in mineralisation – 3m @ 1.88% Cu.

The company says that of the 5 drill holes to date, three have hit significant mineralisation and finished in mineralisation.

Meanwhile, Dragon Mountain Gold (ASX:DMG) has held its AGM.

The voting’s done and there was almost wholesale backing of the various resolutions including a 99.97% vote in favour of changing the company name.

Shares are up 50% so it must be a right cracker of a name – ‘cos Dragon Mountain Gold was pretty bloody good already.
