Last week’s other top gainers on the TSXV were Adex Mining, G2 Goldfields, Walker River Resources and Mason Graphite.
The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index (INDEXTSI:JX) closed last Friday (May 10) at 599.48, up 7.37 points or 1.24 percent.
The Canadian jobs market surprised to the upside that day, with employment seeing its biggest month-on-month increase ever. A total of 106,500 jobs were added in the country, pushing the unemployment rate down to 5.7 percent.

- G2 Goldfields (TSXV:GTWO)
- Braveheart Resources (TSXV:BHT)
