Peninsula also advised that it has received the final approval from State of Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, Land Quality Division to expand the authorised mine permit area to include the Kendrick Project area at Lance.

Star Entertainment Group Ltd (ASX: SGR)

Telix Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX: TLX)

The Telix Pharmaceuticals share price is up 3.5% to $24.86. Investors have been buying this radiopharmaceutical company's shares after it released an update on its performance in FY 2024.

This compares to its guidance range of US$490 million to US$510 million for the year. CEO Dr. Christian Behrenbruch, said: "This has been another great quarter of commercial performance. Strong sales of Illuccix have led Telix to close out the year with revenue above guidance, while significantly progressing our strategic priorities."
