Defence manufacturer HighCom (ASX:HCL) receives a new order of ballistic products from a military customer worth A$4.7m.

Good news for HCL, which suffered a $13.4m loss in the December half “mainly due to the company not securing several large international orders in the Middle East”.

NewPeak Metals (ASX:NPM) finalises the sale of its share in a Finland gold project to a soon-to-be-listed Canadian company.

NPM receives CAD$500,000 cash, CAD$1m in shares of the listed company, and a milestone payment of CAD$1.5m in cash or shares on reporting of a 500,000oz gold resource.

Estrella Resources (ASX:ESR) uncovers a manganese host rock over 27km of strike at the Lautém project in Timor-Leste.

Meanwhile, larger gold stocks are surging alongside a new record high spot price, led by RED 5 (ASX:RED), Regis (ASX:RRL), Resolute (ASX:RSG), and Bellevue (ASX:BGL).

That’s a monstrous $3635/oz in Aussie dollar terms.
