5 Top Weekly TSX Stocks: Condor Energies Up After Receiving Lithium Mining License
Last week's top-gaining stocks on the TSX were Verde Agritech, St. Augustine Gold and Copper, Mega Uranium, Aclara Resources and Condor Energies.
The S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) opened down last Friday (August 4) at 20,120.74.
The index was on track for another weekly loss, hitting a three week low as bond yields rose. The summer is also a volatile season for stocks, and the technology and utilities sectors saw some pressure last week.
Looking over to commodities, gold fell to US$1,930 per ounce, with silver following suit and declining to US$23 per ounce.
“The best value right now is the oil stocks or gold stocks or the commodity stocks," Adrian Day of Adrian Day Asset Management told the Investing News Network, adding, "I think the gold stocks are just amazing buys right now."
Against that backdrop, some resource juniors listed on the TSX saw their share prices go up last week. Here’s a look at the five biggest gainers and the factors that moved their share prices during the period.
1. Verde Agritech (TSX:NPK)
Leading this week’s top TSX stocks list is Verde Agritech, whose share price increased 28.98 percent to end at C$3.65.
Verde Agritech is developing its Cerrado Verde project in Brazil. The project is the source of a potassium-rich deposit from which the company intends to produce solutions for crop nutrition, crop protection, soil improvement and increased sustainability. On July 27, the company said it is in advanced negotiations to sell carbon credits to major international corporations that are established purchasers of permanent carbon offsets.
2. St. Augustine Gold and Copper (TSX:SAU)
St. Augustine Gold and Copper is focused on the development of the King-king copper-gold project. The asset is one of the largest undeveloped copper-gold deposits in the world and is a top-priority mining project for the Philippine government.
Last week, shares of St. Augustine Gold and Copper jumped 25 percent to end at C$0.10.
3. Mega Uranium (TSX:MGA)
Headquartered in Toronto, Mega Uranium is focused on uranium properties in Canada and Australia. Mega Uranium also has a portfolio of equity investments in uranium-focused public and private companies.
The company didn't release any news last week, but shares of Mega Uranium rose 19.51 percent to end at C$0.24.
4. Aclara Resources (TSX:ARA)
Aclara Resources is a development-stage company focused on heavy rare earths. Its primary project, called the Penco Module, is located in the BioBio region of Southern Chile. The Penco Module covers about 600 hectares, and according to the company contains ionic clays that are rich in heavy rare earths.
Last week, shares of Aclara Resources increased 13.89 percent to end the five day period at C$0.41.
5. Condor Energies (TSX:CDR)
Condor Energies is an internationally focused energy company with producing gas assets, an ongoing initiative to construct and operate Central Asia’s first liquefied natural gas facility and another initiative focused on gas field redevelopment.
Last Tuesday (August 1), the company announced that it has been awarded a contiguous 37,300 hectare lithium brine mining license by the Kazakhstan government. Condor Energies intends to produce the lithium using closed-looped direct lithium extraction technologies. Last week, shares of the company increased 12.84 percent to end at C$1.67.
