Resources Top 5 (ish): Tolga’s top picks, hot IPOs, and all the uranium stocks

Sleepy tiddler Genesis Resources up 55% on no news, goes into trading halt
Newly listed gold and base metals explorer Ballymore up ~100% in early trade
ASX uranium stocks surge as spot price surpasses 6-year highs

Here are the biggest small cap resources winners in early trade, Friday September 3.

BALLYMORE RESOURCES (ASX:BMR)

The explorer hits the bourse with portfolio of Queensland gold and base metals projects includes Dittmer (a historic high-grade goldfield), Ruddygore (a large copper porphyry target) and Ravenswood (a bunch of drill ready targets in a 17moz gold province).

Ballymore non-exec chairman Nick Jorss is a proven company maker.

As founding managing director of Stanmore Coal (ASX:SMR), he led the company from explorer to producer through the acquisition of the Isaac Plains operation for $1.

You read that right — $1.

His recent deal to buy 90% of the Lenton JV in NSW for Bowen Coking Coal (ASX:BCB) — which includes the mothballed ‘Burton’ mine and associated infrastructure, plus the high-quality ‘New Lenton’ development project – has similar hallmarks.

ALL THE URANIUM STOCKS

Uranium is entering boomtown, and stocks are responding in kind.

Topping the yellowcake winners list is freshly listed Canadian explorer 92Energy (ASX:92E), followed by Tolga Kumova favourite Valor Resources (ASX:VAL).

$VAL I did not know these grades were even possible together.

Throw some #uranium #silver #REE #lead #molybdenum

Feels like this grade ore could produce its own electricity and be an electric motor all in one.

Don’t need many tonnes of this grade.

GENESIS RESOURCES (ASX:GES)

(Up on no news)

The sleepy tiddler — not to be confused with Genesis Minerals (ASX:GMD) or Genesis Energy (ASX:GNE) – surged ~55% on no news before going into a trading halt.

Genesis has been treading water on its flagship ‘Plavica’ gold-silver-copper project in North Macedonia going on three years.

It also has a couple of manganese projects in Queensland and the NT which could be timely – prices for the forgotten battery metals are gathering steam.

$16m market cap Genesis had $800,000 in the bank at the end of the last quarter.
