Further details of a $1 billion plus settlement generated much excitement in shares of a gold junior Monday. Here’s some small stocks making big moves on Monday, October 22, 2018 (as of 4 pm EST):
Rusoro Mining Ltd. (TSXV:RML) shares climbed as much as 16% on Monday after the gold junior provided further details of a settlement agreement in which Venezuela has agreed to pay Rusoro over US$1.28 billion to acquire the Company’s mining data and for full release of the arbitral award.

As well, shares of White Metal Resources Corp. (TSXV:WHM) plunged 60% to $0.05 as the junior explorer said it has received assay results from the recently-completed channel sampling program at its Gunners Cove Gold Property in Newfoundland, which the Company called “disappointing” as the majority of the 689 channel samples returned below detection gold.
WesternOne Inc. (TSX:WEQ), meanwhile, reported that it has agreed to sell its equipment rentals and heat business to United Rentals of Canada, Inc. for a base cash purchase price of C$120 million on a cash-free, debt-free basis. WesternOne stock popped 31% to $2.11 following the announcement.
