Why did AT4 rise 19.5% on 29 Jul 2026?

AT4 surged after announcing the acquisition of a Nevada critical metals refinery, positioning the company as a US-based processor of strategically important tungsten and antimony at a time of tightening supply chains

The Del Sol Refinery acquisition announcement (released ~3.5 hours before detection) and the corresponding investor webinar are the clear catalyst, directly corroborated by multiple news articles from the prior 24 hours covering the same deal. The volume ratio of 1.52x is modest but the 5.5x ATR move confirms a genuine re-rating event rather than thin-market noise. The sector tailwind (Materials index up ~1%) provides a minor supportive backdrop but is far too small to explain a 19.5% move on its own.
