Oil, gold and silver were all up as of Friday, with the oil price jumping from just above US$61 a barrel to almost US$64 immediately after the news broke in the Middle East.
Looking at the TSXV, here are the top five weekly stocks in the resources and energy sectors, with the majority of them focused on precious metals:
- Dunnedin Ventures (TSXV:DVI)

Dunnedin Ventures has four projects on its books, including three copper projects in British Columbia and Arizona, and a diamond project in Nunavut, which it lists as its priority.
Nunavut’s Kahuna has pride of place on the company’s website, but it’s the MPD copper-porphyry project in British Columbia that has been getting the most attention. The most recent release about MPD, which came in mid-December, concerns the completion of Dunnedin’s first drill program there. Assay results are expected this month.

Towards the end of last month, the company doubled its land holding in the Sacanche area in Peru, where it has its 100 percent owned San Martin project. Shortly after that, the company announced a private placementintended to raise funds for its Peruvian exploration programs.
Hannan Metals was trading at C$0.21 by last Friday, up by 50 percent over the week prior.
