Despite rallying on Friday, gold was on track to post its worst month in three years while nickel continued to fall and was on course for its biggest monthly decline in eight years.

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

• Cobalt Blockchain (TSXV:COBC)
• Antioquia Gold (TSXV:AGD)
• Margaux Resources (TSXV:MRL)
• Axmin (TSXV:AXM)
