Weekly ASX small cap wrap: Who made it into orbit this week

The Spectrum Metals (ASX:SPX) share price doubled this week, closing at 0.8c on Friday after it announced earlier in the week it had made a new high-grade gold discovery at its Western Australia Penny West site.
“Success in outlining a high-grade development opportunity can works wonders for the junior’s market value, albeit off a low base. That is the hope of shareholders in a little thing called Spectrum Metals,” wrote Stockhead columnist Barry FitzGerald.
Winx was exciting shareholders this week, but it had nothing to do with the horse that has won 31 consecutive races. Alaskan oil driller 88Energy (ASX:88E) saw its shares rise 28 per cent this week to 2.2c after issuing a much more positive piece of news for its Winx-1 well.
The driller said the well hit all of their pre-planned targets and identified multiple locations where oil and gas may be, including in the primary Nanushuk zone.
That also saw the share price of co-owner Red Emperor (ASX:RMP) go up, 49 per cent to 10c.
Minnow Freehill Mining (ASX:FHS) hit high grades of iron ore close to the surface at a project in Chile that would rival what the big boys are mining, reported resources editor Angie East this week, and its shares rose 77 per cent to 2.4c.
Freehill reported an intersection of 18m of near-pure magnetite of over 63 per cent iron within 50m of surface in its first ever drilling program at the Yerbas Buenas project.
Magnetite iron ore has a higher cost of production compared with direct-shipping hematite iron ores (DSO) — produced by iron ore majors like BHP and Rio Tinto — because of the downstream processing involved.
Indoor Skydiving (ASX:IDZ) told the ASX that it had no idea why its shares closed up 45 per cent at 1.6c this week, while the fun continued at payments provider Splitit (ASX:SPT), which rose 48 per cent this week to $1.51, another new high.
