Why did FML rise 82.6% on 26 May 2025?
Focus Minerals
Focus Minerals announced the sale of its Laverton Gold Project to Genesis Minerals for AU$250 million, driving a massive re-rating.
The price move and volume surge align precisely with the ASX announcement on May 26, 2025. The subsequent news confirms a AU$250 million asset sale to Genesis Minerals, which is a clear M&A event. The magnitude of the move (82.6%, 27.5x ATR) is consistent with a major corporate transaction.
