Up well over a shonky 40% in early trade yesterday was Cogstate (ASX:CGS), a local medtech all about digital brain health assessments which caught the attention of the ASX highway patrol.

QX Resources (ASX:QXR)  gained ~54% on the announcement of Steve Promnitz as managing director, previously the managing director of advanced ltihium brine project developer Lake Resources (ASX:LKE).

Promnitz is known in the mining game for having secured the Kachi lithium assets for LKE back in 2016, taking the company from a mid-cap nobody to a near-term miner where most project financing is in place for its development.

And one of Nadine McGrath’s fascinationsBubs Australia (ASX:BUB)  came screaming out of a trading halt into an overdue China deal – this one with Heilongjiang Ubeite Dairy Group (HUG).

HUG and BUB plan to make and flog BUB’s China-labelled goat infant formula and ultra-premium products in H2.
