Azure, Baraka quizzed over share jump September 9, 2010
AAP
The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) has questioned oil and gas explorer Baraka Petroleum Ltd and minerals explorer Azure Minerals Ltd after shares in the companies jumped on Thursday.
Baraka was the most traded stock by volume, with almost 130 million shares changing hands.
Its shares closed 25 per cent, or 0.1 cents, higher at half a cent.
The company said its joint venture partner in the Northern Territory's Georgina Basin planned to drill a well in the EP 127 permit later this year, which could explain the trading in its shares.
