The stock is up substantially going into noon on over 2.6 million shares of trading volume. Unlike most stocks that have very tiny market caps on the US OTC exchange shares of BASA have a market cap of over $134 million dollars. Take a look at the chart.

In July the company announced that it was awarded a $50 million supplier agreement. According to its press release it “entered into an Exclusive Supplier Agreement with MEP® Consulting Engineers, Inc., to be the exclusive provider of Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer (“BFRP”) Reinforcing Bar (Composite Rebar) and other BFRP products to the Florida-based construction engineering and design community.” This type of news attracted traders into the stock and today on Twitter there is real attention being paid to its thanks to its price action.
