Arcadia Minerals (ASX:AM7) held its gains from morning trade amid the ongoing lithium frenzy.
Investors responded to AM7’s decision to acquire three more licences containing JORC resources abutting its ~3,438sqkm ‘Bitterwasser’ lithium project in Namibia.
Also rising strongly was energy stock Renergen (ASX:RLT), which announced a “significant increase” (around 600%) in methane and helium reserves at its flagship Virginia gas project in South Africa.
And healthcare stock Paradigm Biopharmaceuticals (ASX:PAR) closed more than 20% higher, after getting US FDA clearance of its IND (investigational new drug) application.
The approval gives PAR the all-clear to proceed with a Phase 3 trial for PPS/Zilosu — an injectable drug that treats pain associated with knee osteoarthritis.

Spain-based uranium developer Berkeley Energia (ASX:BKY) was a notable laggard in Wednesday trade, after announcing that it faces a possible courtroom battle. BKY said it had received a claim from the Singapore Mining Acquisition Co Pte Ltd (a subsidiary of the Oman Investment Authority) in connection with a US$65m convertible note.
Singapore Mining says the amount is “immediately payable”, alleging the investment agreement has been “frustrated” and/or a default event has occurred. In response, BKY said it “strongly disputes the allegations and claim made by OIA and is currently seeking legal advice”.
