Uranium minnow Aura Energy (ASX:AEE) re-joined the ASX with a bang, potentially egged on by pump and group groups.

There’s light at the end of the tunnel for once high-flying gold producer Kingsgate Consolidated (ASX:KCN) , with a settlement in sight to restart the flagship ‘Chatree’ gold mine in Thailand.

Miramar Resources (ASX:M2R) hit a number of thin, +6g/t gold intersections in early-stage drilling at ‘Marylebone’, part of the Gigji project near Kalgoorlie. A new discovery could be imminent, the company says.

New IPO Revolver Resources (ASX:RRR) had a solid debut, gaining ~20%.

Outside resources, one winner was AuMake (ASX:AUK), a former daigou retailer that is delving into the ecommerce space. It rose after signing a deal with Wiseway (ASX:WWG).
