On Stockhead today, these 10 small cap miners and explorers outgunned everyone in 2019, even though it’s been a tough year for battery metals players, there have been some performers and spy tech software firm iCetana lights up the boards.

But first…

The day ahead

The ASX will be open today but will close early at 2.10pm. It will not re-open until Friday December 27.

When our markets re-open on Friday, the US markets will have potential to play into the trading day because Boxing Day is not a market holiday in the US.

The following companies are in trading halts and are expected to exit in the next two trading days:

Tuesday:

Kangaroo Plantation Timbers (ASX:KPT) – fire situation update

Friday:

Argent Minerals (ASX:AAR) – board and management changes
Paringa Resources (ASX:PNL) – operational update
Big River Gold (ASX:BRV) – DFS update
ARQ Group (ASX:ARQ) – financier discussions
Law Finance (ASX:LAW) – capital raising
Pacific Bauxite (ASX:PBX) – board and financial matters review

What got you talking yesterday

After hearing S&P’s bad news on lithium prices last week, our Twitter followers liked a good news story on iron ore.
