Leading the way in that space is Viridis Mining and Minerals (ASX:VMM), with thousands on the HotCopper forums excited by the explorer’s prefeasibility study at Colossus, which is tipped to “unlock world-class economics.”

And, Arizona Lithium (ASX:AZL) is trending after raising as much as $8M to develop its “world-class” Prairie Lithium Project in Saskatchewan, Canada.
