After considering nil cash receipts from customers in 1QFY22, cash balance at the end of 30th September 2021 was reported at ~AUD 13.97 million versus ~AUD 16.57 million at the end of 30th June 2021.

Technical Analysis: On a weekly chart, DEV prices are sustaining above the trend-following indicators 50-period SMA and 21-period SMA, indicating a positive stance for the stock. The momentum oscillator RSI (14-period) is trading in the positive zone at ~59.121 levels and forming a moderate positive divergence with the prices action, supporting an uptrend. In the short term, the stock may witness an uptrend subject to a support level at AUD 0.290 while the key resistance is at AUD 0.4800 level.

Along with DEV’s recently found anomalies and drilling updates in the 1QFY22, its current price levels suggest the investors with a high-risk appetite a ‘Speculative Buy’ stance along with incorporating the support and resistance as one of the tools while analysing the investment opportunity. The stock was analysed as per the current price of AUD 0.3775 per share, 11:45 AM (GMT+10), Sydney, Eastern Australia, as of 10th November 2021. However, the risk levels are extremely high in view of the prospective findings, its development and related saleability.
