3 ASX mining shares that soared over 25% on Thursday

It was another encouraging day for ASX shares this Thursday. At the market close, the All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO) had gained a robust 0.71% to 7,290 points. But some ASX shares did even better.

So let’s look at not one, not two, but three ASX mining shares that put on at least 25% today.

3 ASX mining shares that gained 25% or more this Thursday

Anson Resources Ltd (ASX: ASN)

First up is Anson Resources. This ASX mining share is an ASX lithium hopeful, conducting lithium mining operations in the United States and Australia. Anson shares rocketed an impressive 26.2% today to finish at 26.5 cents a share. They closed at 21 cents yesterday and opened at 25.5 cents this morning.

As my Fool colleague Aaron covered this afternoon, this powering share price rise seems to be a result of an ASX announcement this morning. The company revealed it has signed an agreement with Sunresin New Materials Co. Ltd. This will see Sunresin provide equipment, supplies, and technical support to Anson.

Variscan Mines Ltd (ASX: VAR)

Next up is Variscan Mines. Variscan has a portfolio that includes two zinc projects in Spain, as well as other interests in Australia and Chile. The Variscan share price was on fire today, finishing up a whopping 40.6% to 4.5 cents a share. It closed at 3.2 cents yesterday and opened at 4.4 cents this morning.

This follows an ASX announcement today that gazetted some positive drilling results. The company confirmed it has discovered “significant zinc-lead mineralisation” at its San Jose Mine in Spain.

Ragusa Minerals Ltd (ASX: RAS)

Finally today, let’s take a gander at the ASX mining share Ragusa Minerals. Ragusa is exploring gold and lithium in the Northern Territory, Alaska, and Zimbabwe. There wasn’t any news out of Ragusa today. But that hasn’t stopped the company from gaining an impressive 26.4% to 33.5 cents a share.

As my Fool colleague Monica reported earlier this week, Ragusa shares have been on a highway for the past month, gaining more than 370% since late July. On 10 August, the company confirmed “high grade lithium perspectivity at the NT project”, which seems to have ignited these frenzied gains in recent weeks.
