The Peninsula Energy (ASX: PEN) share price closed more than 14% higher today, and with no new announcements from the company, the question is why.

Let's dig deeper into the Peninsula Energy share price
The uranium mining company's share price has increased by more than 22% since it released its half-yearly report last Thursday.
The results for the half-year ending 31 December 2020 included a strong balance sheet, with generally slightly higher incomes and lower losses than the previous year's report. While it housed no red flags, neither did it contain any potential gold mines.
One point of difference is the fact the half-yearly report is the first released since the company began trading in the OTCQB Venture Market in February.
Being listed in the OTCQB Venture Market is reserved for penny stocks and small foreign companies. It allows a company greater access to overseas investors.
Upon being approved to trade in the OTCQB Venture Market, Peninsula CEO Wayne Heili said:
US based investors have demonstrated a keen awareness of Peninsula and our flagship Lance Project located in the State of Wyoming but they have been limited to trading of shares during Australian market hours.
