Laurion Mineral Exploration (TSX: V.LME, Stock Forum) saw a high volume fuelled jump in the market on the impending closure of the first tranche of a $6.0 million private placement which saw shares climb 50% in afternoon trading.
Some traders on the Stockhouse Bullboarders
claimed that broker-based buying was going to send SP to $0.05 by the time the PP had closed. However, other traders followed these claims up quickly,
accusing the aforementioned Bullboarder of being a professional pump and dump artist and provided a transaction history as proof to their allegations.
Shares were up 25.00% to $0.025 per share.
Astrix Networks (TSX: V.OEE, Stock Forum), operating as Memex Automation, climbed in SP today as the company, a globally leading provider of manufacturing Machine to Machine (M2M) productivity software solutions, seemed to be picking up steam in the wake of a series of contract wins with its flagship product, MERLIN (Manufacturing Enterprise Real-time Lean Information Network), and IP acquisitions.
Shares were up 18.42% to $0.225 per share.
