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 fell at the open with the S&P ASX 200 down 1.07% at 10.45am (AEDT) as war in the Middle East escalated over the weekend.

Wall Street’s S&P 500 Index fell 0.48% and into correction territory on Friday,  while the blue chips Dow Jones Index fell 1.16%. However,  the tech-heavy NASDAQ rose 0.38%.

TG Metals (ASX:TG6) is up almost 60% this morning after announcing first drill holes into the Burmeister lithium soil anomaly within the Lake Johnson Project intersected high grade mineralisation up to 2.28% Li2O.

Five of the six holes completed intersected pegmatite with all pegmatite intervals hosting lithium mineralisation in spodumene.

“These are exceptional initial drilling results especially since we have only tested such a small part of the soil anomaly,” CEO David Selfe says.

Multi-commodity explorer Eclipse Metals (ASX:EPM) is up after announcing it has secured $2.3 million in funding from institutional investor Pioneer Resources Partners to fund exploration and general working capital.

Gold explorer Tietto Minerals (ASX:TIE) is also on the winners list this morning after receiving an off-market takeover offer from Zhaojin Capital to acquire all shares it doesn’t already own in the company for 58 cents/share or a 38% premium to the last close.

Zhaojin started building up its holding in TIE last year and is the company’s second biggest shareholder behind Chijin International HK, with around 7% of its shares.
