Matt Birney - Well, the annual diggers and dealers swim through was on this week in Kalgoorlie where both punters and prospectors regaled each other with plenty of tall stories.
Matt Birney - Azure Minerals wowed the crowd with a crazy 209m lithium drill hit, that did wonders for neighbouring explorer Errawarra Resources who jumped 69 per cent to hit 19.5 cents.
Matt Birney - Lithium Australia doubled this week after mining juggernaut Chris Ellison’s Mineral Resources offered to partner with the company to develop its lithium extraction technology. Lithium Australia hitting 6.6 cents after closing out last week at just 3.3.
Matt Birney - Auris Minerals climbed 50 per cent from 1.2 to 1.8 cents after wrapping-up drilling near Meekatharra with an impressive mixed bag of gold, manganese, zinc and lead hits.
Matt Birney - And finally, Perpetual Resources hiked 68 per cent from 2.2 to 3.7 cents after picking up more ground in eastern Brazil’s revered lithium valley.
