Capricorn Metals has secured the Piastri Project adjacent to its Golden Range tenure for $1.5 million in shares, opening up a largely untested 15.2 km² area near the Ricciardo deposit for gold and antimony exploration.

Small-cap shares produced the week’s biggest moves, led by Xenitra’s 60% surge and Carnaby Resources’ takeover jump.
