Good morning, and welcome to Stockhead’s Top 10 at shortly-before-11-ish, to highlight the best (and sometimes worst) performing ASX stocks in morning trade using live data, to provide a short, sharp update to help frame the trading day by showing the biggest movers in percentage terms.

The market opens at 10am (eastern time) and the data is taken at 10:15am, once every ASX stock has started trading – for better or worse.

The ASX was up at the open with the S&P ASX 200 rising 0.33% at 10.40am (AEDT),  despite a selloff on Wall Street.

In New York, the S&P 500 dropped -1.18%, the blue chips Dow Jones index was down by -0.76%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq plunged by -1.76%.

The S&P 500 is now at the lowest level since May, edging to what analysts say is “correction territory”.

Industrial Minerals (ASX:IND) is up 100% this morning after announcing it had inked a deal with North West Quarries to acquire an 80% interest in the non-construction material mineral rights, including lithium and high purity quartz (HPQ) at the operating Pippingarra quarry near Port Hedland.

IND says it holds several tenements in the region prospective for HPQ and lithium, making the addition of the project a logical expansion of its activities in the WA’s Pilbara lithium province.

REE and gold explorer Terrain Minerals (ASX:TMX) is up today after announcing it had raised more than $430k in a non-renounceable entitlement offer. The company says 15.85% of shareholders (187) participated in the offer with a recorded unallocated shortfall of ~$355k.

TMX in September raised ~$785k through a placement to sophisticated and professional investors.
