It was raining uranium on Thursday. Here’s Reuben’s pick of the small caps on morning trade:

But it was Variscan’s (ASX:VAR) turn on the throne, climbing on news of some sunburn-busting zinc finds at its San Jose mine in northern Spain.

After an initial rush first thing in the morning, Variscan has eased to “only” be up 40% at close, narrowly edging out nearest Fast Climber rival Anson Resources (ASX:ASN), which has been on a rapid rise on the back of news it is partnering with global DLE leader Sunresin to develop a full-scale commercial lithium plant at Paradox Lithium Project.
