5 Top Weekly TSXV Stocks: Kore Mining Jumps on Exploration Results

The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index (INDEXTSI:JX) closed the week down at 575.18 points, declining 1.07 percent.

The coronavirus outbreak continued to spread last week, with the World Health Organization declaring the epidemic a global emergency on Thursday (January 30).

Gold increased on the back of the outbreak fears, but most base metals were on track for a monthly decline, including copper, which fell almost 9 percent in January.

That said, a number of stocks in the mining sector saw share price increases, including:

• Kore Mining (TSXV:KORE)
• Otso Gold (TSXV:OTSO)
• Tethys Petroleum (TSXV:TPL.H)
• Corsa Coal (TSXV:CSO)
• Amarc Resources (TSXV:AHR)

Without further ado, here’s a look at the five top weekly TSXV stocks.
