The Patersons report and news probably attracted a few buyers. Not much on offer so even a small increase in demand will lift the SP. nice and measured, I like that.
Options saw a little action as well, I actually think the options might be holding the SP back as there where quite a few on offer and a cheaper upfront play on exploration sucsess and development de-risking ahead of March 2018 expiry. People paying 5c are break even at 30c by march 2018. It's not a bad punt.
