Dynamic Metals (ASX:DYM) has entered a lucrative farm-in and joint venture agreement with Mineral Resources (ASX:MIN) over the lithium rights to its Widgiemooltha project in the WA Goldfields. The Chris Ellison-company is eligible to earn up to 80% of the tenements via a total exploration spend of $20 million, through to a decision to mine.

Fin Resources (ASX:FIN) has been buoyed by a review of work carried out historically on its Ross project in Quebec which identified highly anomalous uranium in soil sampling, including up to 1,486ppm U3O8 associated with low thorium.

Noble Helium (ASX:NHE)  says its plans to monetise the helium potential of its North Rukwa project in Tanzania have received a major boost after further detailed analysis and integration of well data indicates the probable free gas cap at Mbelele to be six times larger than originally mapped.

Telix Pharma (ASX:TLX) rose 2% after proposing to acquire Canada-based diagnostic imaging isotope specialist ARTMS for $US42.5M worth of TLX shares upfront, and a further $US15m in earnouts.
