ASX mining and biotech catalysts — Catalyst Ahead
Resourceful New
The last ASX trading day’s announcements, ranked by what the market did about them
Catalyst Ahead reads every ASX filing as it lands. These are the day’s biggest price moves with real money behind them — one board for the drill bit, one for the clinic.
No company cleared the A$250k turnover floor on this day — a quiet market, not a fault.
ASX risers and fallers — and the moves with no news behind them
The biggest price moves in mining and healthcare over the week and the month, with the volume behind them — and the companies that moved hard with no announcement lodged. Updated after each ASX close.
Open any company for its news-flow record — every market-sensitive announcement it has filed this year, against its price. Or press Chart on a row for its price chart, delayed 15 minutes.
Measured across 1,025 ASX mining and healthcarecompanies; 803 had a price at this close, and 13 did not trade and hold their place on their last traded close.
ASX movers, week and month →The same boards on a page of their own, with what counts as a mover, why the window is a week rather than a day, and what “moved with no news” does and does not mean.
Biggest ASX market cap gains and falls, in dollars
These boards rank by the dollars that moved, not the percentage — over the week, the month, the quarter and the year.

* 43% of the figures here are measured against a dated share count from the start of their window; the rest (marked *) are measured on today’s count. We started recording each company’s share count every trading day on 17 August 2026, so the record is still building out — the quarterly board is covered from about November 2026 and the yearly from about August 2027.
Measured across 1,025 ASX mining and healthcare companies; 802 had a share count at this close.

Who is beating their peers
Companies that have held up well against their peers: ranked by how far each share price has run ahead of (or fallen behind) the other ASX companies in the same commodity, or of a similar size — not by the size of the move. A leader must still be near its best price of the period, and a lagger near its worst.

Placement Watch
ASX mining companies that raised cash in the last three months, and where their shares trade now against the price the new money paid.
Of 201 companies, 60 trade above their raise price, 131 below and 10 level with it. Press a company to open it on the full board, with its raise history and price graph.
Did the jump stick?
ASX companies whose shares closed up 15% or more on the day of a price-sensitive announcement — and where the price sat one, two, three and four weeks later. A company only counts as holding when it stayed at least 15% above its pre-announcement price at every check.
60 of 170 jumps held 15% or more for all four weeks (35%). Each week is measured from the close BEFORE the announcement, so it includes the day’s jump. Held = still 15% or more above that price at every weekly check. Green = above that price, red = below it; a shaded week fell under the 15% line.
