The BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP) share price is climbing higher today as the company moves one step closer towards making its Jansen potash mine a reality.

At the time of writing, shares in the diversified resource miner are up 1.58% to $52.08. The BHP share price is now 39% above where it was a year ago.

Port facilities agreement for new mine

Reports in The Australian reveal BHP is likely set to proceed with its Jansen potash development in Saskatchewan Canada. This follows news the mining giant has secured a conditional port services deal with Westshore Terminals.

According to earlier news, the agreement remains conditional on BHP advancing to its first phase for Jansen. It is estimated that these initial phases could cost up to $5.7 billion.

If the project goes ahead Westshore will be responsible for handling the potash for BHP up to the year 2051, subject to extension.

Interestingly, the Jansen potash project will be the company’s first new resource in more than a decade. BHP has been investigating the prospects of potash since 2006. Back then the BHP share price was bouncing between $22 to $28 a share.

In a presentation last month, the company discussed the compelling case for the resource. A combination of population growth, a shift to plant-based diets, and a need for increased crop yields are all attractive catalysts for potash, according to BHP.

Additionally, its recent quarterly results showed the company on track for a ‘go or no-go’ decision in the next two months for Jansen stage 1. Nearly US$3 billion has already been sunk into the project to get it to this point.

BHP share price snapshot

The BHP share price has been enjoying the prolonged iron ore boom. Over the past year, the company has added 39% to its value — now commanding a market capitalisation of $238.5 billion.

More recently, a nickel supply agreement with Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) has pushed shares in the mining company even higher.

The Argosy Minerals Ltd (ASX: AGY) share price is soaring today, up 6% in early afternoon trade, having earlier posted gains of more than 8%.

Below, we take a look at the latest announcement from the Perth-based lithium miner that looks to be driving investor interest.

What update did Argosy provide?

Argosy Minerals’ share price is leaping higher after the company reported additional progress with its clean lithium processing technology at its Rincon Lithium Project in Argentina.

The company is focused on producing environmentally friendly battery quality lithium carbonate via its proprietary chemical process technology.

It said that low energy use is one of the key factors which sets its process apart from competing lithium carbonate producers.

Argosy estimates energy use at approximately 1MW for 2,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) operation levels and around 5–6MW for 10,000tpa in its planned expansion phase of operation.

Energy will be provided by a nearby gas pipeline. Argosy is also looking into sourcing power from a solar power plant, which is currently under construction.

Water consumption is also lower than industry standards with its chemical process technology recycling some 90% of the brine fed through its process plant.

Argosy estimates the flow rate of raw water consumption at around 6–8m3/h for its 2,000tpa operation and at roughly 40m3/h for its 10,000tpa expansion operations.

Commenting on the progress, Argosy’s managing director Jerko Zuvela said:

We have a successfully proven, proprietary and environmentally friendly clean lithium technology to produce battery quality lithium carbonate with low impurities, meeting ESG requirements with a low carbon footprint of low fresh water and energy usage, sustainably producing at a scale no other junior lithium company is currently able to achieve, and currently in construction phase for the 2,000tpa operation, with development plans for an additional 10,000tpa production expansion.

Argosy Minerals share price snapshot

Over the past 12 months, the Argosy Minerals share price has surged 145%, far outpacing the 25% gains posted by the All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO).

Year-to-date, Argosy Minerals’ share price is up more than 65%.

The Digital Wine Ventures Ltd (ASX: DW8) share price is starting the week off in the red. This comes after the wine-focused technology investment company announced a trading update for the fourth quarter of FY2021.

Digital Wine shares sank 6.1% to an intraday low of 7.6 cents at the opening of trade. Apart from a late morning rally they have stayed down and, at the time of writing, are trading hands for 7.7 cents a share.

How did Digital Wine perform in Q4 FY21?

Investors appear to be heading for the hills, selling Digital Wine shares despite the company reporting impressive numbers.

For the three months ending 30 June 2021, Digital Wine achieved $1.02 million in revenue from its WineDepot platform. This reflects a 33% increase on the prior quarter, and a mammoth 274% jump on the previous corresponding period (Q4 FY20). The outstanding result came on the back of strong orders received, along with a number of new suppliers.

WineDepot shipped a total of 75,377 cases throughout the fourth quarter, resulting in a 22% lift on Q3 FY21 (61,939 cases). That’s also a significant increase compared to this time last year, when the business shipped 13,840 cases in Q4 FY20.

The average number of cases shipped per order stood at 2.33, however this will likely surge over the coming months. As WineDepot Market grows, trade buyers typically place larger orders than consumers, leading the volume of orders processed.

During Q4 FY21, the company acquired 68 new suppliers, bringing the total number of suppliers using WineDepot’s platform to 375.

In addition, Digital Wine touched on some previous achievements that occurred during the quarter. This included securing a liquor licence to launch a wine club called Insider Trading. This is an invitation-only membership program that allows access to private tastings, dinners, master classes and other events.

Furthermore, Digital Wine’s WineDepot went live in Melbourne and Sydney, offering a direct-to-trade marketplace for consumers. The company notably partnered with Zip Co Ltd (ASX: Z1P) for a buy now, pay later credit solution, and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) for its logistics network.

Management commentary

Digital Wine CEO Dean Taylor highlighted the company’s strong performance, saying:

There’s been a noticeable lift in our key metrics over the last 3 months as existing and new suppliers embrace new functionality offered via our platform, such as MARKET & DIRECT. The combination of the new revenue streams generated by these products together with very strong customer growth, generated organically and via strategic acquisitions, provides the basis for a very exciting year ahead in respect of revenue growth.

Digital Wine share price snapshot

In the past 12 months, Digital Wine shares have outpaced the broader All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO) to post a 92.5% gain. So far in 2021, the company’s share price is up 79%.

Based on today’s price, Digital Wine presides a market capitalisation of roughly $128 million, with 1.6 billion shares on issue.

The CSL Limited (ASX: CSL) share price has rallied strongly in the second half of this month, up 7.40% since 15 July to $295.55.

Broad buying across ASX 200 healthcare shares

The CSL share price isn’t alone in its recent resurgence.

The S&P/ASX Health Care (INDEXASX: XHJ) index has also rallied 6% since 15 July.

The broad buying across the healthcare space has witnessed ASX 200 healthcare heavyweights Sonic Healthcare Limited (ASX: SHL) and ResMed Inc. (ASX: RMD) surge to new record highs.

Encouragingly, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corp Ltd (ASX: FPH) and Cochlear Limited (ASX: COH) have also moved up strongly since mid-July, up 8.65% and 3.7% respectively.

What’s next for the CSL share price?

The CSL share price could be a winner once the delta variant of COVID-19 subsides according to Peter Switzer.

His outlook was previously covered by The Motley Fool, highlighting why CSL could be a good long-term opportunity.

According to Switzer, “The company’s biggest profit-maker is collecting plasma in the US, and the virus concerns scared off a lot of its donors who get paid to give blood. As normalcy comes back, demand for blood will rise, and that will be good for CSL’s bottom line.”

The CSL share price is still flat this year

The CSL share price is up about 3.5% year-to-date, underperforming the broader S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO).

CSL’s underwhelming performance is consistent with its international biotech peers such as Grifols.

Grifols is a Spanish multinational biotech company with a focus on producing blood plasma-based products.

Its shares have tumbled 13.66% year-to-date, but its quarterly results on 4 May reveal some positive commentary regarding plasma collections.

In the United States, plasma donations are gradually recovering. Of note was the trend observed in January, February and April in the wake of the country’s vaccination rollouts and the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, while taking into account the mitigating effect of stimulus incentives issued in March and December.

The Mandrake Resources Ltd (ASX: MAN) share price is falling hard in early afternoon trade, down 14%.

Below, we take a look at the ASX resource explorers latest drill results.

What update did Mandrake report?

The Mandrake Resources share price is tumbling after announcing it had completed diamond drill hole MNEWDD003 at its Newleyine PGE-nickel-copper prospect in Western Australia.

The company reported that the massive sulphides observed at the drill hole are coincident with the strong down-hole electromagnetic (DHEM) conductor.

Mandrake Resources has conducted 3 diamond drill holes to date to test 3 “discrete, late-time electromagnetic (EM) bedrock anomalies”. Its geophysical interpretation suggests the anomalies may be the response of massive sulphides “consistent with Julimar-style PGE-Ni-Cu mineralisation”

The Mandrake Resources share price may be under pressure today, however, as it reported it will need to conduct further drill testing of the area.

Commenting on the results, Mandrake Resources managing director, James Allchurch said:

The appearance of further massive sulphides in Mandrake’s third hole is encouraging and highlights the potential of the Newleyine intrusive to host economic mineralisation. Another compelling off-hole conductor has been identified by down-hole EM at MNEWDD002 and we are yet to test our third and final original conductor at plate C.

Allchurch said pending assay results will give the company a better grasp on the platinum group elements (PGE) and base metal concentrations in the 3 holes already drilled. Those results will help it plot out the next round of drilling.

Mandrake Resources share price snapshot

Over the past 12 months, the Mandrake Resources share price has surged 110%, compared to a gain of 25% on the All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO).

Year-to-date the Mandrake Resources share price has gone the other direction, down 19% with today’s intraday losses factored in. Shares hit all-time highs less than 2 months ago, trading at 23.5 cents on 31 May.

Blackstone management highlighted the PFS as an important milestone towards achieving the company’s vision to integrate lithium-ion battery supply chains and enable a green solution from mine to consumer.

The A2 Milk Company Ltd (ASX: A2M) share price is falling again after a strong run in recent weeks. Could it now be an opportunity?

A2 Milk shares fell to almost $5 in the middle of May. But then the share price started going through a recovery. From that low, A2 Milk climbed around 40% to a high of $7.20 earlier this month. But it’s dropping again – down around 10% from the July high. It is 4% in the red today, at the time of writing.

There is still volatility for A2 Milk, despite the significant decline over the last 12 months.

But there are some brokers that don’t have a high opinion of A2 Milk’s share price prospects in the shorter-term despite the decline.

For example, Citi rates A2 Milk as a sell with a price target of $6.05. That suggests that the ASX share is going to see more declines over the next 12 months, if the broker is right.

Shifting consumer choices in China suggest that A2 Milk may not see much benefit from a change in China’s child policy to allow three children. Chinese families are increasingly going for local brands, particularly in smaller cities where people are even more likely to choose a Chinese product.

Credit Suisse is another broker that rates A2 Milk as a sell. But the price target is even lower, at just $5.50. The broker points out that the daigou sales are not contributing much to the overall picture now.

A2 Milk’s latest update

The last update from A2 Milk was in May.

It said that the trading dynamics in the China infant nutrition market have been and continue to be challenging for the company as well as international formula peers.

The FY21 third quarter was broadly in line with its plan, but A2 Milk said it was clear the actions taken to address challenges in the daigou and cross-border e-commerce channels will not result in sufficient improvement on the third quarter of FY21 in pricing, sales and inventory levels to meet previous guidance.

After reviewing its inventory, management noted that challenges were being exacerbated by excess inventory and difficulties with visibility. So it decided to take more aggressive action to address excess inventory which will impact FY21 revenue and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) and potentially the first quarter of FY22. This inventory action will give Chinese mothers with the freshest infant milk formula and benefit the company’s customers, distributors and partners.

A2 Milk is also increasing its marketing to drive customer demand.

However, despite these short-term setbacks, management are confident in the long-term opportunity that the infant nutrition market in China represents, and the company is determined to build on the strong position it has built in the market over the last five years.

In that May update, one area of growth was that its store count increased to 22,600. The 12-month rolling market value share in mother and baby stores (MBS) was stable at 2.4%

But, the company recognises that the Chinese market and channel structure is changing rapidly and has therefore commenced a comprehensive process to review its growth strategy and executional plans to respond to this new environment.

A2 Milk is also thinking about a potential share buyback to utilise its capital.

The Tinybeans Group Ltd (ASX: TNY) share price is rising on Monday morning.

At the time of writing, the family-focused social media platform company’s shares are up 3% to $1.25.

Why is the Tinybeans share price rising on Monday?

The rise in the Tinybeans share price today has been driven by the release of an announcement relating to its plan to list on the Nasdaq index.

According to the release, the company has appointed Grant Thornton Audit as its new auditor with immediate effect.

It made the move in support of its planned listing on Nasdaq. This is because the Nasdaq requires a company to have an auditor that is registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in the United States.

Why is Tinybeans listing on the Nasdaq?

Tinybeans advised that its decision to list on a major U.S. exchange is aligned with its increasing operational and revenue shift to the United States, as well as its subscription growth strategy.

But don’t panic, nothing will happen with your Tinybeans shares if you’re a shareholder. Tinybeans intends to maintain its primary listing on the ASX and expects to be dually listed on the ASX and Nasdaq.

Tinybeans CEO, Eddie Geller, commented: “Tinybeans has had a strong presence in the United States ever since we established Tinybeans USA in New York in 2014. Today, nearly 100% of our revenue—and most of our brand partners and subscribers—are based in the U.S., helping to double our revenues for FY21. Grant Thornton is already engaged in the independent audit of our FY21 results. We look forward to releasing our full year results in late August.”

The Tinybeans share price has been a strong performer over the last 12 months. Following today’s gain, its shares are now up over 41% since this time last year.
