Why did SGQ fall 15.6% on 3 Mar 2026?

What moved it
Investors sold off St George Mining stock despite a 75% resource upgrade, likely due to a 'sell-the-news' reaction or disappointment that the upgrade was not larger or of higher grade.
The price move (down 15.62%) aligns with the company's announcement of a 75% resource upgrade to 70.9Mt, which is an operational update. However, the stock's negative reaction suggests the market may have expected more, or the upgrade was already priced in, leading to a 'sell-the-news' effect. The news articles confirm the announcement but do not explain the drop, so the cause is inferred from the event and market behavior.
