What moved it
Capital raise announcement for the Araxá project diluted shareholders, causing a price drop despite positive news coverage.
The dominant news around the date is St George Mining's capital raise, with Hancock Prospecting investing A$22.5m. While headlines highlight positive backing, a share placement typically dilutes existing shareholders, which is consistent with the down move on the event date. The distinct drop on Oct 15, sandwiched between the raise announcement Oct 13 and follow-up coverage Oct 14, points to the placement terms becoming public as the cause.
