    Last week’s other top-gaining resource stocks on the TSX were Teranga Gold, Corvus Gold, Nighthawk Gold and Perseus Mining.

    The S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) was down last week, declining 0.54 percent to close the five-day period at 15,367.29.

    Even so, the index posted its biggest gain in more than six weeks on Thursday (March 29), led by resources and financial shares. The index was still down for the quarter, reaching its deepest quarterly decline in two and a half years.

    On Thursday, gold was down due to a stronger US dollar, but was still on track for a quarterly gain. Meanwhile, silver and copper were headed for quarterly losses.

    Against that backdrop, a number of TSX-listed stocks in the mining sector saw share price increases. The five top gainers are as follows:

    • Teranga Gold (TSX:TGZ) 
    • Corvus Gold (TSX:KOR) 
    • Energy Fuels (TSX:EFR) 
    • Nighthawk Gold (TSX:NHK) 
    • Perseus Mining (TSX:PRU)  

    Here’s a look at those companies and the factors that moved their share prices last week.

    Teranga Gold

    Teranga Gold owns and operates the Sabodala gold mine, the only gold mine and mill in Senegal. On March 22, the company announced results from drilling at its Golden Hill property in Burkina Faso,.

    Shares of Teranga Gold increased 47.21 percent to close the five-day period at C$4.49.

    Corvus Gold

    Corvus Gold controls 100 percent of its North Bullfrog project in Southern Nevada. The project includes numerous prospective gold targets at various stages of exploration. On March 22, Corvus released drill results from two holes at its Mother Lode project.

    Shares of Corvus gained 30.72 percent last week to reach C$2.17.

    Energy Fuels

    Energy Fuels is a leading integrated US-based uranium mining company, supplying U3O8 to major nuclear utilities. Energy Fuels holds three of America’s key uranium production centers: the White Mesa mill in Utah, the Nichols Ranch processing facility in Wyoming and the Alta Mesa project in Texas.

    On March 29, the company announced that it achieved a major environmental milestone at its Alta Mesa uranium project. Shares of Energy Fuels saw an increase of 13.2 percent last week to reach C$2.23.

    Perseus Mining

    Last but not least on the list is Perseus Mining, whose share price saw an increase of 5.56 percent to close the five-day period at C$0.47.

    Perseus is a diversified West Africa-focused gold production, development and exploration company. Perseus’ lead project is the Edikan gold mine in Ghana.

    Investor Insight

    Generation Uranium offers investors high-leverage exposure to a potential major discovery in Canada’s underexplored and resource-rich Thelon Basin, led by a management team with a proven track record of securing high-value exits.

    Overview

    Generation Uranium (CSE:GEN, OTCQB:GENR, FRA:W85) is a Canadian exploration company focused on wealth creation through discovery within the uranium sector. The company’s primary strategy is to build a high-caliber exploration team that can rapidly test and drill high-potential targets, de-risking projects for potential takeover by larger producers. Currently centered in the prolific Thelon and Angikuni Basins of Nunavut, the company is also actively evaluating additional project acquisitions in the Athabasca Basin to expand its portfolio.

    Generation Uranium Yath Project

    The company is led by a veteran management team with nearly 30 years of experience in mineral development. CEO Michael Collins has a significant track record of building and exiting public companies, including the co-founding of Bluerock Resources, a conventional uranium producer during the 2000-2008 cycle. This expertise is paired with a focused business model that leverages modern geophysical targeting to accelerate exploration timelines and reduce costs, ensuring the company can deliver results quickly in a bullish uranium market.

    Company Highlights

    • Strategic Location in a Premier Uranium District: The flagship Yath Project is located in Nunavut’s Thelon Basin, contiguous to ATHA Energy’s Angilak Project, which hosts the high-grade Lac 50 deposit.
    • High-Grade Discovery Potential: Historical surface sampling at the Yath Project has yielded exceptional uranium grades, including boulders testing at 9.81 percent, 3.95 percent, and 2.14 percent U3O8.
    • Expert Management with Exit Experience: Led by CEO Michael Collins, the team has decades of experience in mineral exploration and a history of co-founding companies that were later acquired, such as Prime Mining and Nuclear Fuels.
    • Low-Cost, Rapid Exploration Strategy: By leveraging modern geophysics and extensive historical data, the company aims for a "short road to discovery," de-risking projects quickly to maximize shareholder value.
    • Bullish Market Fundamentals: Generation Uranium is well-positioned to meet the growing global demand for carbon-free nuclear power, supported by a projected supply deficit and increased interest from major tech companies seeking clean energy.

    Key Project

    Yath Project - Nunavut, Canada

    The Yath Project is Generation Uranium’s flagship project. This 100 percent owned property covers about 120 square kilometers within the underexplored Thelon Basin in Nunavut, Canada. The project is located where the Yathkyed and Angikuni sub-basins meet, which is a region known globally for high-grade uranium potential. It sits directly along the same trend as the Angilak Project owned by ATHA Energy (TSXV:SASK, OTCQB:SASFK, FWB:XSU.F), which contains the Lac 50 deposit, one of the highest-grade uranium resources found outside of the Athabasca Basin with a historical mineral resource estimate of 43.3M lbs at an average grade of 0.69 percent U3O8.

    Generation Uranium Yath Project

    The Yath Project is contiguous to the Lac 50 trend and is crossed by several regional faults and basin boundaries. Past exploration work has already identified high priority targets, while surface sampling in the area has produced uranium grades from boulders, with some testing at 9.81 percent, 3.95 percent, and 2.14 percent U3O8.

    The company has commenced its initial field program at the site, set to define and rank drill targets. Historic showings will be combined with new anomalies from the MMT geophysics survey, preparing the project for an anticipated drill permit.
