Dimerix’s (ASX:DXB) DMX-700 treatment for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease showed great promise when tested on the tiny little lungs of some highly unfortunate mice. And some fortunate ones.

The market liked the results – an 80% reduction in lung injury – and threw enough money at DXB to push its price up 20%.

And Volpara Health Technologies (ASX:VHT) has signed of a new 42-month contract with RadRet medical records management – pushing its price up more than 19%.

Celsius Resources (ASX:CLA) hit a 611.4m-long intersection at 1.39% copper and 0.75g/t gold in drilling at its flagship MCB project in the Philippines.

There’s also excitement over this 77.5m-long high-grade portion grading 2.47% copper and 2.12g/t gold (3.34% copper equivalent) from 232.10m.

“The drilling results over the past six months have identified important additions to copper mineralisation and we are looking forward to understanding the impact of these results as we move into our JORC Update resource estimate and feasibility studies in the second half of this year,” exec chairman Martin Buckingham says.
