Golden Deeps is an ASX-listed mining and exploration company currently focusing on the world-class Otavi Mountain Land Copper District of Namibia.

Investors flocked to buy GED shares as the company announced that it has intersected exceptional, thick and high-grade intersections of copper-vanadium-lead-silver mineralisation at its Nosib Block Prospect.
- Pursuit Minerals Limited (ASX:PUR)
The last stock on our list, Pursuit Minerals is also a miner focusing on gold, vanadium, nickel etc., having projects in Australia, Finland, Sweden and Norway.

The rally was supported by Friday’s announcement that multiple gold and copper targets were identified after analysis of auger soil sample assay results from the Calingiri East tenement, Warrior Project.
Bottom Line
Penny stocks are highly volatile, primarily due to low liquidity, which makes them relatively easier to move. That means, these lucrative returns can also materialise into severe losses in the blink of an eye. Therefore, investors must stick to proper risk management while investing in them.
