On Stockhead today: How the Sydney Stock Exchange is shaping up as a better alternative for junior miners; there’s widespread confidence in the uranium recovery and companies are pouring in; and Asia, gold & tech are dominating the ASX’s top performing ETFs in 2020 (so far).

But first…

GID Dynamics (ASX:GID) – fundraising matters
