strange trading, page-2

Strange indeed....No manipulation at all. LOL

VWAP 8.02c

Total Volume of 2,118,218 of which over a million bought at 8c and above.

And then someone triggers a sell-off. No, no manipulation on the ASX at all. HMmmm

BTW for those that missed this part of the announcemernt:

Indicated status as preparatory work continues towards a Bankable Feasibility Study.


JMHO someone still wants more at lower SP. But how long can they keep it down. Time will tell...

Cheers,
