Why are Green Technology's shares trading in the green today?

Green Technology’s shares rose despite no price-sensitive news shared by the company today. But the price of the battery material in China last week hit an all-time high.

Additionaly, the company shared an update with the ASX last week. On 10 October 2022, Green Technology had revealed that it had inked a legally binding agreement with Landore Resources Limited (Landore) to purchase back and cancel 50% (1.5%) of the 3% net smelter royalty (NSR) interest over the Root Project. The CA$2 million cash payment to extinguish 1.5% of the Root Project NSR serves as the purchase's consideration. An Extinguishment Agreement between GT1 and Landore must be finalised and signed before 21 October 2022, for the deal to go through.
