What’s Hot
SCL – Schrole Group Limited today closed up 181% to finish at 45c on $1.6m stock traded. The reason they were up today was because they announced a scheme agreement was entered with TES Global to be acquired for 48.52c in cash.

ADG – Adelong Gold Limited today closed up 40% to finish at 0.7c on $340k stock traded. The reason they were up today was because they announced a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MoU) was entered with Cosmo Gold & Sarama Resources (SRR.asx).

ADG has accepted to receive scrip (25m shares) and options in Sarama in full settlement of the loan obligations owed by Cosmo to Adelong Gold, for an 80% interest in the Cosmo Newbery project.
ERM – Emmerson Resources Limited today closed up 26% to finish at 5.4c on $160k stock traded. The reason they were up today was because they announced its joint venture partner Tennant Mining had commenced construction of the Nobles Gold Processing Facility located in the NT.

PPK – PPK Group Limited today closed up 17% to finish at 40.5c on $420k stock traded. The reason they were up today was because they announced a decision on relief in court proceedings.
The Court has ordered PPK to issue to Flynfam Flynn Family Trust $500k divided by the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) over the 30 trading days immediately preceding the judgment date, estimated at 44c.
The court case has been going since the 30th of August 2023, so it would come as a relief to shareholders that the proceedings are now over.
Back in June, PPK announced its 47.37% owned Craig International Ballistics received a $30m order from the Australian Defence Force (ADF).
AKM – Aspire Mining Limited today closed up 15% to finish at 30c on $210k stock traded. There was no news out today but back in April they announced findings from a comprehensive marketing study completed on its Ovoot Coking Coal Project located in Mongolia.
The Ovoot Coking Coal project has been classified as FM36 Metabituminous coal, a high-quality and sought-after product used in coke production.
Aspire plans to truck coal from the Ovoot mine site to a rail terminal near the city of Erdenet in northern Mongolia, where it will be transported into China.
The Ovoot washed coal has medium ash, medium Sulphur, high G index, low CSR, and high CRI characteristics which offer advantages over Chinese domestic fat coals.
PGY – Pilot Energy Limited today closed up 11% to finish at 2c on $800k stock traded. The reason they were up today was because they announced its application to declare a Greenhouse Gas Storage Formation over the WA 31- L licence area has been approved.
The declaration instrument notes a storage capacity of 13.4Mt for the Cliff Head Storage Formation which is sufficient for the initial stage of the Mid West Clean Energy Project (MWCEP) Cliff Head CO2 Storage project.
The declaration is one of the first of its kind for an offshore CO2 storage project in Australia and provides confidence in the Australian regulatory regime, further de-risking the MWCEP for potential international project partners.
DRE – Dreadnought Resources Limited today closed up 11% to finish at 0.2c on $170k stock traded. The reason they were up today was because they announced drilling had commenced at its Tarraji-Yampi Project located in WA.
Diamond drilling will test 6 Cu-Au volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) targets around the Orion deposit, which has previously returned up to 12m @ 1.6% Cu, 31.7g/t Ag, 0.5g/t Au, 0.02% Co from 45m.
DRE has entered into a drill for equity agreement with Topdrill, the agreement provides an option to satisfy up to 50% of drilling costs by the issue of fully paid ordinary shares up to a maximum value of $1m.
PSC – Prospect Resources Limited today closed up 11% to finish at 15.5c on $220k stock traded. The reason they were up today was because they announced assay results from the recently acquired Mumbezhi Copper Project located in the world-class Zambian Copperbelt.
Previously unreleased results which have been acquired from a 2021 drill program has identified new wide copper intercepts of up to 38.0m @ 0.87% Cu from 101m and 32m @ 0.68% Cu from 159m.
The validated drilling data sets have now been captured into a dedicated spatial database, which forms the basis for ongoing 3D modelling of the Nyungu deposits and ultimately the estimation of a maiden JORC-reportable copper mineral resource.
What’s Not
