What’s Hot
AHN – Athena Resources Limited today closed up 100% to finish at 0.4c on $190k stock traded. The reason they were up today was because they announced the appointments of Mr John Welborn as non-executive Chairman and Mr Garry Plowright as non-executive director.
The appointments follow the approval by shareholders to issue a $1m convertible note to Fenix Resources which will exceed 30% of Athena’s shares on issue.
Athena is investigating the opportunity to leverage Fenix’s capabilities and experience to advance the Byro Magnetite Project.
TRP – Tissue Repair Limited today closed up 95% to finish at 43c on $1.9m stock traded. The reason they were up today was because they announced TGA Approval was granted for TR Pro+.
TR Pro+ is its first advanced wound healing gel product containing the proprietary active ingredient, Glucoprime (0.1%), derived from yeast.
Despite the products current regulatory status as a cosmetic, TR Pro+ sales in June reached a new high with Q3 revenue showing 130% growth over the prior quarter and expanding to over 160 clinics.
ATX – Amplia Therapeutics Limited today closed up 61% to finish at 10c on $400k stock traded. The reason they were up today was because they announced results from a phase 2b clinical trial investigating narmafotinib in the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer.
Narmafotinib (AMP945) is the company’s best-in-class inhibitor of the protein FAK, a protein over-expressed in pancreatic and other cancers, and a drug target gaining increasing attention for its role in solid tumours.
Of the 6 patients currently assessed at the four-month time point, in addition to the three confirmed partial responses, two additional patients have recorded sustained stable disease.
QHL – Quickstep Holdings Limited today closed up another 12% to finish at 38c on $220k stock traded. There was no news out today but on Tuesday they released a July business update which highlighted the successful completion of restructuring activities.
The restructure has delivered a reduction in direct production headcount of approximately 20% and a reduction in operational support headcount of a similar amount.
QHL will release its audited FY24 results in August but can confirm that the unaudited Group revenue at $99m exceeds the guidance provided in April of $94m-$96m.
PR1 – Pure Resources Limited today closed up 10% to finish at 9.5c on $830k stock traded. The reason they were up today was because they announced the acquisition of the Reedy Creek Garnet Project located in WA.
Reedy Creek is a hard-rock, high-grade, outcropping industrial garnet deposit which is situated on a live mining licence and is close to established infrastructure.
Historical high-grade drill results from Reedy Creek include 6m @ 78% garnet from surface & 10m @ 65% garnet from 2m.
What’s Not
AGY – Argosy Minerals Limited today closed down another 31% to finish at 3.4c on $2.9m stock traded. There was no news out today but yesterday they announced an update for its Rincon Lithium Project located in Argentina.
AGY has decided to suspend operations at the 2,000tpa facility and effect the necessary workforce restructuring to adjust to next phase Project requirements.
This is after acknowledging current lithium market conditions and near-term lithium price forecasts, and fiscal prudence to maintain capital preservation practices.
