Good morning, and welcome to Stockhead’s Top 10 at shortly-before-11-ish, which is meant 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 – and then I do my best to make sense of who’s moving where and why it might be happening.
Here’s what’s been happening since the doors were opened this morning…

Breast cancer detection software company Volpara Health Technologies (ASX:VHT) is surging this morning on news that the NZ-based company has entered into a scheme implementation agreement with Korean exchange-listed Lunit – also in the business of cancer detection – under which Lunit has agreed to acquire all of Volpara’s shares at a price of A$1.15 per share.
RTG Mining (ASX:RTG) is up after the company confirmed multiple styles of mineralisation and more encouraging gold and copper grades along 6.5km of skarns and new structures at its 90% owned Chanach gold-copper project in the Kyrgyz Republic, which I have been assured is a real place.
Battery Minerals (ASX:BAT) is continuing its rapid rise of the past few days, up another 25% in very early trade this morning.
Top Shelf International Holdings (ASX:TSI) is moving up this morning, but the only news there is that a bunch of fully-paid shares are coming out of voluntary escrow in a week or so. The company is still in the process of sorting out a breach of ASX listing rule 10.11 – which covers the provision of shares to a person in a position of influence without shareholder approval.
