5 Top Weekly TSXV Stocks: Arianne Leads on Rise of Over 100 Percent

The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index (INDEXTSI:JX) closed last week at 553.67, up about 15 points from the beginning of the week. 

Geopolitical tensions drove gold higher at the end of the period, with market watchers worrying about tensions between the US and China. A weaker US dollar also helped push the yellow metal upward.

Last Friday (May 29), US President Donald Trump relieved some pressure when he ultimately announced measures against China that were less severe for the American economy than some had worried. The measures were in response to new security legislation.

Against that backdrop, the companies below saw major share price moves last week:

• Arianne Phosphate (TSXV:DAN)
• Euro Manganese (TSXV:EMN)
• Antler Gold (TSXV:ANTL)
• Azucar Minerals (TSXV:AMZ)
• Outcrop Gold (TSXV:OCG)

Here’s a look at what may have moved their share prices during the period.

1. Arianne Phosphate

Arianne Phosphate is developing its Lac a Paul greenfield phosphate project in Quebec, which it says is among the largest of its type in Canada.

2. Euro Manganese

Euro Manganese is developing a new high-purity manganese production facility that it says will be based on the recycling of material from the Chvaletice tailings deposit located in the Czech Republic.

Last Thursday (May 28), Euro Manganese announced that it has initiated a process to secure a strategic partner to assist with the development of Chvaletice. Its share price rose 53.8 percent to finish at C$0.10.

3. Antler Gold

Namibia-focused Antler Gold holds the Erongo Central and Western gold projects, which are made up of seven exclusive prospecting licenses in the country’s Damara Gold Belt.
