Calidus (CAI.asx) signed a framework agreement which gets a mention as well as Capricorn (CMM.asx) who closed out some hedges, fixing our upside on some potential upside. Galena (G1A.asx), Global Lithium (GL1.asx), Encounter (ENR.asx), & Strictland (STK.asx) also get some time in the limelight with their respective announcements today.
