5 Top Weekly TSX Stocks: Arizona Mining Surges on Drill Results

The S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) rose last week, closing at 15,319.56 points, a gain of 0.86 percent.
The index rallied on Friday (June 23), and Paul Taylor, CIO of fundamental equities at BMO Asset Management, noted that overall there was widespread strength across the board. Energy and mining stocks fared particularly well, according to Reuters.
In the resource sector, precious metals prices rebounded last week on the back of increasing geopolitical concerns and a weaker dollar. Investors turned to safe-haven assets as political uncertainty about US President Donald Trump, North Korea’s rocket engine testing and Brexit negotiations increased.
On the back of those factors, a number of TSX-listed stocks in the mining sector saw share price increases, including:

• Arizona Mining (TSX:AZ)
• Lydian International (TSX:LYD)
• Wellgreen Platinum (TSX:WG)
• Trevali Mining (TSX:TV)
• Alamos Gold (TSX:AGI,NYSE:AGI)

Without further ado, here’s a look at last week’s five top TSX stocks.

Arizona Mining

Arizona Mining is focused on the exploration and development of its 100-percent-owned zinc-lead–silver Hermosa project in Arizona. On June 20, the company announced results from seven exploration holes completed as part of the current drill program at Hermosa’s Taylor Deeps zone. Highlights include 67 feet assaying 20.5 percent zinc, 18.1 percent lead and 7.5 ounces per ton silver. 
Over the five-day period Arizona Mining’s share price spiked 23.76 percent to close at $2.50.

Lydian International

Lydian International is an emerging gold producer. Its Amulsar gold project in Armenia has a mineral resource of nearly 5 million ounces, and the company is targeting annual production of 225,000 ounces. On June 19, the company provided an update on construction at Amulsar, noting, among other things, that project commitments totaled $213 million as of May 31. 
The news sent Lydian’s share price up 20.97 percent last week to reach $0.37.

Wellgreen Platinum

Middle of the pack on last week’s five top weekly TSX stocks list is Wellgreen Platinum, an exploration and development company focused on the advancement of its Wellgreen platinum-group metals and nickel project. The company’s share price jumped 16.36 percent last week to close at $0.32, though there was no news that would explain the increase. 

Trevali Mining

Trevali is a zinc-focused base metals miner with two commercially producing operations. The company is actively producing zinc and lead-silver concentrates from its 2,000-tonne-per-day Santander mine in Peru and its 3,000-tonne-per-day Caribou mine in New Brunswick. Trevali also owns the Halfmile and Stratmat base metals deposits, located in New Brunswick, and they are currently in the preliminary economic assessment stage.
The company’s most recent news came on June 14, when it announced the results of a 2016/2017 resource definition drill program at Halfmile. Last week, Trevali’s share price saw an increase of 11.43 percent to reach $1.17.

Alamos Gold

Last but not least on the five top weekly TSX stocks list is Alamos Gold, an intermediate gold producer with three operating mines in North America, including the Young-Davidson mine in Ontario, and the Mulatos and El Chanate mines in Mexico.

5 Top Weekly TSX Stocks: Scandium International Up After Consolidating Ownership of Australian Project
By Priscila Barrera, June 16, 2017.
The S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) ended down last week, closing at 15,192.54 points, a loss of 1.68 percent.
That being said, the index rose on Friday (June 16), as energy stocks rebounded along with oil prices. “The market took a breather yesterday and is trying to recover somewhat this morning. It is by no means bullish,” Tamas Varga, an analyst at brokerage PVM Oil Associates, told Reuters.
More broadly, commodities were hit last week by the US Federal Reserve’s decision to increase interest rates by a quarter point. Gold and silver prices dropped following the announcement, as some investors turned away from precious metals. Even so, a number of TSX-listed stocks in the mining sector saw share price increases last week, including:

• Alexco Resource (TSX:AXR)
• Corvus Gold (TSX:KOR)
• Dalradian Resources (TSX:DNA,LSE:DALR)
• Scandium International Mining (TSX:SCY)
• Largo Resources (TSX:LGO)

Without further ado, here’s a look at last week’s five top weekly TSX stocks.

Alexco Resource

Alexco Resource owns the Bellekeno silver mine, which encompasses most of the historic Keno Hill Silver District in Canada’s Yukon Territory. The company’s most recent news came on May 31, when it closed a C$9-million flow-through equity financing.
Last week, Alexco’s share price spiked 14.79 percent to close the five-day period at $1.79.

Corvus Gold

Exploration and development company Corvus Gold is focused on its gold-silver North Bullfrog and Mother Lode projects in Nevada. The company also controls a number of royalties on North American gold, silver and copper exploration projects.

The news sent Scandium International’s share price up 5.8 percent to end last week at $0.36.

Largo Resources

Last but not least on the five top weekly TSX stocks list is Largo Resources, whose share price increased 5.38 percent to end last week at $0.49. Largo Resources is a strategic minerals company focused on the production of vanadium pentoxide from its Maracas Menchen mine.

5 Top Weekly TSX Stocks: Osisko Soars After Acquiring Precious Metals Portfolio
By Priscila Barrera, June 9, 2017.
The S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) ended slightly up last week, closing at 15,473.21 points, a modest gain of 0.2 percent.
The index edged up on Friday (June 9) as employment and industrial data pointed to renewed health in the domestic economy, according to Reuters. Canada’s job growth accelerated in May at its fastest pace in eight months — employers added 54,500 jobs, handily topping economists’ forecasts for a gain of 11,000.
“It is just another piece of information that suggests that the Bank of Canada could be tightening maybe a little bit earlier than markets are pricing,” said Andrew Kelvin, senior rates strategist at TD Securities.
Against that backdrop, a number of TSX-listed stocks in the mining sector saw share price increases, including:

• General Moly (TSX:GMO,NYSEMKT:GMO)

The company holds over 50 royalties and one stream, including a 5-percent NSR royalty on the Canadian Malartic mine, a 2- to 3.5-percent NSR royalty on the Eleonore mine and a stream on the Gibraltar mine.
On June 5, Osisko acquired a portfolio of assets from Orion Mine Finance Group for a total of C$1.125 billion. On the back of the news, the company’s share price increased 17.71 percent to reach $16.95.
