Positive news flow from King River’s Speewah project

King River Copper Ltd (ASX:KRC) has been one of the top performing shares on the ASX, with the share price tripling over the past one month, last trading at 13 cents.

The shares have been supported by the positive news flow from King River’s Speewah project in Western Australia, where it recently tested 99.48% purity vanadium and 99.5% purity titanium.

Share price rally could see cash injection from option exercise

King River had over 124 million listed options as at February 2, 2018 exercisable at 10 cents and expiring on 30 June 2018.

With the stock trading at 13 cents, the options are in-the-money and will enable the company to raise more than $12 million if all the options are exercised.
