It was an unimpressive day for the ASX today with the All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO) sagging 0.2% at the market's close. 

Regardless of this lacklustre result, these three ASX shares each had a ripper session, with their share prices all vaulting higher than 9%.

Australian Strategic Materials (ASX: ASM)

Australian Strategic Materials finished the day a massive 15.6% higher to close at $5.47.

The company's cornerstone Dubbo Project is a long-term, sustainable and secure source of rare earths, zirconium, niobium and hafnium.

Avita Medical Inc. (ASX: AVH)

The Avita Medical share price closed 15.3% higher at $5.59. The company's share price first started climbing today after it reported a 57% increase in revenue via its preliminary fiscal second-quarter results.  

The Avita RECELL technology that's presently in development will be used to treat acute thermal burn wounds. The company recently enrolled nine additional patients in an important study that's further assessing the use of the RECELL system to treat stable vitiligo.
