5 Top Weekly TSX Stocks: Dalradian Resources Surges After Buying Smelter Royalty

The S&P/TSX Composite index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) was up slightly last week, closing at 15,442.75 points, a modest gain of 0.16 percent.
That being said, the index edged down on Friday (June 2), as energy stocks sank on the back of falling oil prices, according to Reuters. Data showing that US jobs growth slowed in May also limited gains as it suggests that the bounce in the labor market is losing steam.
“Just about everything here is hitting a rough patch,” said John Kinsey, portfolio manager at Caldwell Securities. “We may be hitting the summer doldrums a little early.” Even so, a number of TSX-listed stocks in the mining sector saw a share price increases last week, including:

• Katanga Mining (TSX:KAT,OTCMKTS:KATFF)
• Dalradian Resources (TSX:DNA,LSE:DALR)
• Sherritt International (TSX:S,OTCMKTS:SHERF)
• eCobalt Solutions (TSX:ECS,OTCMKTS:ECSIF)
• Alamos Gold (TSX:AGI,NYSE:AGI)

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

Katanga Mining

Major miner Glencore (LSE:GLEN) increased its stake in Katanga Mining to about 86.33 percent earlier this year. The company operates a large-scale copper–cobalt mine complex in the Democratic Republic of Congo through two joint ventures called Kamoto Copper Company and DRC Copper and Cobalt Project.
Katanga has released little news so far this year. In 2015, the company suspended copper and cobalt processing due to construction activities related to its whole ore leach project. The suspension continued through the first quarter of 2017, and production is not expected to resume until the project is commissioned; that process is expected to commence in Q4 2017. Last week, Katanga’s share price jumped 13.25 percent to close at $0.47.

Dalradian Resources

Dalradian Resources is a gold exploration and development company that is focused on advancing its high-grade Curraghinalt gold project in Northern Ireland. On June 1, the company announced an agreement to acquire Minco’s (LSE:MIO) 2-percent net smelter return royalty on Curraghinalt. Dalradian’s share price increased 12.77 percent on the back of the news to reach $1.59.

Sherritt International

Middle of the pack on last week’s five top weekly TSX stocks list is Sherritt International, whose share price saw an increase of 7.59 percent to close the five-day period at $0.85. The company is best known as a nickel miner, and is one of the world’s largest producers of nickel from lateritic sources; it’s also Cuba’s largest independent energy producer and mines cobalt as a by-product. The company has released no recent news that would explain its share price gain last week. 

eCobalt Solutions

Next on the list is eCobalt Solutions, whose main asset is its Idaho cobalt project. The company bills the project as “the only advanced stage, near term, environmentally permitted, primary cobalt deposit in the United States,” and says the cobalt at the project will ultimately be used to produce environmentally sound battery-grade cobalt salts.
On May 31, the company provided a technical operations update on the Idaho cobalt project. The news sent eCobalt’s share price up 5.15 percent to end the five-day period at $1.02.

Alamos Gold

Last but not least on the five top weekly TSX stocks list is Alamos Gold, whose share price increased 4.19 percent to finish last week at $3.73.
Alamos is an intermediate gold producer with diversified production from three operating mines. The company also holds exploration and development projects in Mexico, Turkey, Canada and the US. On May 4, it released its Q1 2017 report, announcing production of 96,200 ounces of gold.

Some investors noted that despite increasing political uncertainty, trading was slow ahead of the long weekend in the US.  “This is pretty common going into a long weekend. (But) this is a pattern we’ve seen happening over the last several months, where if you have a slow day in terms of news releases, the market is almost eerily quiet,” Tim Courtney, chief investment officer at Exencial Wealth Advisors, told Reuters. 
That said, a number of TSXV-listed stocks in the mining sector saw share price increases last week. The top gainers were:

• Alderon Iron Ore (TSX:IRON)
• Golden Minerals (TSX:AUMN,NYSEMKT:AUMN)

5 Top Weekly TSX Stocks: Lundin Mining Surges on Feasibility Study Results
by Priscila Barrera
The S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) ended slightly lower last week, closing at 15,458.46 points, a loss of 0.54 percent.
That said, the index rallied on Friday (May 19) ahead of the Victoria Day long weekend. The rise was led by energy-focused companies, whose share prices were buoyed by rising oil prices. The market was also affected last week by US political turbulence; however, Friday was calm as US President Donald Trump left for his first foreign trip.
“You’ve had no Washington drama today and decent earnings,” said David Joy, chief market strategist at Ameriprise Financial in Boston. “It’s the cyclical parts of the market that are moving today and the defensives are lagging. With Washington not in the headlines, we can focus on the economy, and the economy is in good shape in our view.”
On the back of those developments, a number of TSX-listed stocks in the mining sector saw share price increases. The top gainers were:

• Treasury Metals (TSX:TML)
• Serabi Gold (TSX:SBI)
• Red Eagle Mining (TSX:R)
• Lundin Mining (TSX:LUN)
• Royal Nickel (TSX:RNX)

Without further ado, here’s a look at the five top weekly TSX stocks and what moved their share prices last week.
