LRV – Larvotto Resources Limited today closed up 20% to finish at 12c on $690k stock traded. The reason they were up today was because they announced an exploration update for its Hillgrove Project located in NSW.
An exploration target has been delineated at Hillgrove with potential mineralisation located directly below areas of the current mineral resources.

EGR – EcoGraf Limited today closed up 14% to finish at 12c on $130k stock traded. There was no news out today but roughly a month ago they announced a binding agreement was signed with AngloGold Ashanti for a farm-in agreement at its Golden Eagle gold project located in Tanzania.

AngloGold can earn up to a 70% interest by spending US$8.9m (approx. A$13.4m) over five years on the licences, EGR will then have the option to maintain its 30% or dilute to a gross revenue royalty.

What’s Not
IMM – Immutep Limited today closed down 12% to finish at 29.5c on $9m stock traded. The reason they were down today was because they announced topline results from the TACTI-003 Phase IIb trial.
The trial was evaluating eftilagimod alfa (efti) in combination with MSD’s (Merck & Co) anti-PD-1 therapy KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab) as first-line treatment of recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients (1L HNSCC).
The results revealed that the combination therapy significantly outperformed KEYTRUDA monotherapy across various levels of PD-L1 expression.
Notably, patients with high PD-L1 expression (CPS >20) exhibited an overall response rate (ORR) of 31.0%, compared to 18.5% with KEYTRUDA alone in the randomised Cohort A of the trial.
Immutep will now discuss potential options with regulatory agencies for metastatic 1L HNSCC patients.
