Listen to the HotCopper podcast for in-depth discussions and insights on all the biggest headlines from throughout the week. On Spotify, Apple, and more.
Leading the most-watched stocks on the HotCopper forums this week was Diablo Resources (ASX:DBO). The microcap drew serious investor attention after momentum escalated around its silver and copper projects in Utah. The vibes across the forums were, if drilling delivers, the company’ll have plenty of blue sky potential.
(We spoke to CEO Lyle Thorne on the HotCopper Watchlist earlier this week about its promising new minerals system in the U.S., if you want to hear more.)
Another heavily watched name was Australian Mines (ASX:AUZ). The Oz battery metals hopeful returned to radars amid renewed critmins demand and interest in lithium plays. While the stock suffered a drop early this week, investors closely monitoring the company; allowing it to stabilise in more recent days.
Rounding out the most-viewed list was semiconductor technology company Weebit Nano (ASX:WBT). Weebit remains one of the ASX’s more unique technology stories, developing next-generation memory technology that many retail investors believe could eventually play a disruptive role in the global semiconductor industry. The company’s built a loyal following among long-term Aussie tech investors, and once again proved one of the platform’s biggest traffic drivers in Week 19.
Now, onto the most discussed. Leading conversations by a mile was recent debutant Bison Resources (ASX:BSR). It’s been listed for less than a fortnight, and is dominating forum discussions as traders debate whether the stock has legs.
Also drawing huge discussions was gold explorer Redcastle Resources (ASX:RC1). Investors have been chatting plenty about its WA gold projects, with HotCopper users speculating on the potential scale of upcoming exploration. It’s especially topical given gold remains historically elevated and may head back towards $5,000 an ounce should the ongoing war in the Middle East end soon.
Finally, Impact Minerals (ASX:IPT) also featured, with investors keenly watching its exposure to critical minerals and battery material opportunities.
That’s your highlights from HotCopper for Week 19. See you next week.
