Latest Wia Gold (ASX:WIA) News

Small explorers led the ASX week, with Lachlan Star, EcoGraf and Basin Energy recording the biggest gains on new drilling, offtake and exploration news.
Takeovers, capital raisings and strong company results also drew attention, although several large stocks fell despite reporting better earnings.
