1. The Canadian Chrome Company (CSE:CACR)

Weekly gain: 100 percent
Market cap: C$19.12 million
Share price: C$0.01

The Canadian Chrome Company is a chromite and base metals exploration company focused on its Ring of Fire assets in Northern Ontario, Canada. The firm's properties consist of the Fancamp and Big Daddy claims, along with the McFaulds Lake, Koper Lake and Fishtrap Lake projects. All are located within a 40 kilometer radius, and according to the company are home to feeder magma chambers containing chromite, nickel and copper deposits.

In January, Canadian Chrome engaged a financial advisor to review its strategic options and has since been running a process to potentially sell the company or its assets.

On June 24, it provided an update, noting market conditions for stainless steel and chromium. CEO Frank Smeenk said he believes the company and its assets present an attractive opportunity.

“We have embarked on initiatives to reach out to prospective purchasers and investors and are looking forward to seeing results from the ongoing efforts to pursue these strategic alternatives,” Smeenk stated.

Its most recent news came on August 20, when the company proposed a private placement to raise up to C$8.4 million in gross proceeds at C$0.006 per share that will be used in part to explore and evaluate chromite mineral deposits and cover operating expenses. Additionally, Canadian Chrome proposed appointing Michael Minas as vice president of capital markets, which will be voted on at its next board of directors meeting.

2. Decade Resources (TSXV:DEC)

Year-to-date gain: 50 percent
Market cap: C$37.61 million
Share price: C$0.165

Decade Resources is focused on advancing a portfolio of properties in BC, Canada.

The company has spent much of 2026 advancing work at its Bonaparte property in the Kamloops mining division. The property consists of six mineral claims covering a land package of 5,549 hectares and hosts mineralization of copper, gold and molybdenum, with the Discovery area being the primary exploration area.

In October 2025, Decade entered into an option agreement to earn up to an 80 percent interest in the property in exchange for 14.7 million shares in Decade and a 2 percent net smelter return. Half the net smelter return can be purchased back by the optioner for C$3 million within the one year period prior to the start of commercial production.

Decade began a Phase 1 drill program at the project in early August, with plans for five to six holes with a minimum total of 3,000 meters, targeting depths of 500 meters.

On August 31, the company encountered porphyry-style copper mineralization in the first hole of the program, which was drilled below a chargeability anomaly located 500 meters east of the Discovery zone. Mineralization occurred in a “textbook porphyry alteration sequence” over the course of the hole and remained open below 621.6 meters.

Then, on Thursday, Decade shared visual observations from drilling as it awaits assay results. The company intersected porphyry dykes in each hole drilled that reached bedrock, including two holes collared 1.2 kilometers apart. Of the six holes in the program, one was lost before reaching bedrock and requires re-drilling, and one is still underway.

3. AnorTech (TSXV:ANOR)

Year-to-date gain: 50 percent
Market cap: C$40.32 million
Share price: C$0.195

AnorTech is focused on commercializing sustainable materials from its Gronne Bjerg anorthosite project in Greenland. The property is located approximately 80 kilometers from the capital of Nuuk and hosts significant deposits of anorthosite, a calcium-rich feldspar containing 50 percent silicon, 31 percent aluminum and 15 percent calcium.

The company is advancing product lines such as zero-waste smelter-grade alumina, as well as alumina-based catalysts for carbon dioxide capture, advanced 3D-printable cement and lunar construction materials.

On September 22, US President Donald Trump announced that the US had reached a security agreement with Denmark that will allow the US greater military access to Greenland. The deal also has terms for critical mineral exploration and development that prioritize the US, NATO countries and the European Union.

At the time, AnorTech welcomed the agreement, saying, “It strengthens defense cooperation across the regions (and) affirms Greenland’s sovereignty and its right to self-determination.”

The most recent news from the company came on Monday, when it announced that Greenland Mines (NASDAQ:GRML) exercised its option to acquire an additional 25.17 million shares in AnorTech, valued at US$5.3 million, doubling Greenland Mines’ ownership to 19.9 percent.

“Greenland Mines’ decision to exercise its option in full is a strong endorsement of what we are building at AnorTech,” AnorTech President Jim Cambon said. “Greenland Mines’ understands the value we are creating from Greenland anorthosite and its exciting future as a key component in the aluminum critical mineral supply chain and as the primary material for lunar project development.”

4. Radius Gold (TSXV:RDU)

Year-to-date gain: 38.71 percent
Market cap: C$26.62 million
Share price: C$0.215

Radius Gold is an exploration company advancing projects in the Americas. The company has an option to acquire the Tierra Roja copper project in the Arequipa region of Southern Peru. The site covers around 3,670 hectares and hosts a primary target zone measuring about 600 meters by 800 meters, with surface copper oxide mineralization.

In September, Radius reported rock and soil sampling results that were consistent with a porphyry copper system associated with copper, silver, gold, potassium and molybdenum mineralization.

Its most recent news came on Wednesday, when the company announced it had received government authorization to begin exploration at the main target area, the Ferruginosa I-400 concession.

The approval clears the way for Radius to start work under provisional surface access from Peru’s national state property agency, SBN, while it awaits a definitive surface rights easement.

“I am extremely pleased that we finally have the authorizations required to commence drilling, after the delay relating to the SBN provisional surface right,” Radius President Luke Longridge said.

5. Oreterra Metals (TSXV:OTMC)

Year-to-date gain: 34.62 percent
Market cap: C$11.48 million
Share price: C$0.35

Oreterra Metals is advancing its flagship Trek project in BC, Canada. The property covers an area of 6,379 hectares in BC’s Golden Triangle and hosts the Trek South porphyry copper-gold prospect. Exploration efforts since 2021 have identified a 1.6 by 1 kilometer zone with mineralized veins containing visible copper throughout the area.

On September 16, the company completed its maiden drill program at the property, which consisted of 13 holes totaling 4,500 meters. The company said it expected assay results later in the fall and will use them to plan its Phase 2 program, anticipated to begin in 2027. The most recent news from Oreterra came on Monday, when it released visual results from the program to shareholders ahead of the receipt of assay results.

“Our program has now moved from confirming a large alteration system to targeting the geological engine believed to have produced it,” CEO Kevin Keough said. “Our next holes will determine whether that interpretation holds when the drill bit reaches the intrusive root.”
