Rugby Mining was the top gaining TSXV stock, with Alset Energy, Foran Mining, Gold Reserve and Colorado Resources closing out the top five.
The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index (INDEXTSI:JX) was up last week by 2.4 percent to 715.59 points.
Overall, the index is up 36.13 percent for 2016. For the period of June 11, 2015 to June 10, 2016, it’s up by $25.74, or 3.73 percent.
However, with the price of gold increasing 2.4 percent to $1,276.30 per ounce over the past week, it appears as though interest in gold was outweighing investor interest in stocks.
Still, a number of companies on the TSXV saw strong weekly percentage gains. The top five gainers for the week were:
- Nicola Mining (TSXV:NIM)
- Rathdowney Resources (TSXV:RTH)
- Alset Energy (TSXV:ION)
- CanAlaska Uranium (TSXV:CVV)
- MX Gold (TSXV:MXL)
Here’s a closer look at those companies:
