What’s Not – AVG & LTP
CE1 – Calima Energy Limited today closed up 67% to finish at 0.6c on $530k stock traded. The reason they were up today was because they went ex-dividend after distributing $80m to shareholders.
Calima returned 12.64c per share as a result of the sale of Blackspur Oil Corp to Astara Energy Corp (previously trading at 13c).
Post distribution, Calima will have ~A$5-6m cash and a 100% interest in the Paradise Field in British Columbia which generates approximately A$350k in free cash flow annually.
Calima today opened up at 0.5c which gave it a market cap of $3.1m, well below its current cash reserves.
LBT – LBT Innovations Limited today closed up 54% to finish at 2c on $110k stock traded. There was no news out today but not long before open they were placed in a temporary pause in trading.
During lunchtime today, the pause in trading was lifted with no explanation as to why they were paused to begin with.
PNM – Pacific Nickel Mines Limited today closed up 39% to finish at 3.9c on $100k stock traded. The reason they were up today was because they announced a significant milestone was achieved for its Kolosori Nickel Project located in the Solomon Islands.

BUB – Bubs Australia Limited today closed up 17% to finish at 14c on $1.9m stock traded. The reason they were up today was because they announced a trading update which highlighted an increase in revenue.

What’s Not
AVG – Australian Vintage Limited today closed down 39% to finish at 19c on $1.8m stock traded. The reason they were down today was because they announced the completion of a placement and entitlement offer to raise $15m @ 20c.
The funds raised will be used to enhance levels of liquidity and financial flexibility and better position AVG to capitalise on future growth opportunities.
AVG was placed into suspension back in mid-May pending an announcement regarding a trading update.
