5 Top Weekly TSX Performers: Endeavour Reports High-grade Results at Guanacevi
Apr. 17, 2022 07:45PM PST
Last week's top-gaining mining stocks on the TSX were Augusta Gold, Trevali Mining, Verde Agritech, Endeavour Silver and Energy Fuels.
The S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) was trading at 21,838.02 early last Thursday (April 14), but ultimately closed the shorter four day week higher at 21,851.89.
Ahead of the long weekend, the index opened lower, pressured by declining gold and oil prices. Investors were also awaiting economic data due later in the day.
Despite pulling back on Thursday, gold was on track for a weekly gain on the back of safe haven demand. Silver and platinum were also set to end the trading period in the green.
Against that backdrop, a number of companies saw their share prices increase last week. The five TSX-listed mining stocks that saw the biggest gains are as follows:
- Augusta Gold (TSX:G)
- Trevali Mining (TSX:TV)
- Verde Agritech (TSX:NPK)
- Endeavour Silver (TSX:EDR)
- Energy Fuels (TSX:EFR)
Here’s a look at those companies and the factors that moved their share prices last week.
