WINNERS

Stocks highlighted in yellow have made market-moving announcements (click headings to sort).

White Cliff Minerals (ASX:WCN) will buy a historical uranium project in Canada called Radium Point, which produced 13.7Mlb uranium, plus silver, copper gold, nickel and lead pre-1982.

WCN says exploration has been largely non-existent in the area since uranium production ceased in the 60’s and silver and copper mining stopped in early 80’s.

Terra Uranium (ASX:T92) will also peg ground in Canada, this time in the Athabasca Basin.

LOSERS

Stocks highlighted in yellow have made market-moving announcements (click headings to sort).

Taruga Resources (ASX:TAR) will “review its operations in South Australia and consider the right to appeal” after it was banned from exploring on a portion of its Flinders project by the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs South Australia.

Helix Resources (ASX:HLX) reported ok copper hits from scout drilling at the Bijoux prospect in NSW.

Krakatoa Resources (ASX:KTA) returned thin, low grade lithium from drilling at the King Tamba project in WA.

Emerging QLD miner R3D Resources (ASX:R3D) says copper production continues to be hampered by poor weather conditions, “affecting both access to the site and the supply chain of required input materials”.
