Treasury Metals

The second top-gaining stock on last week’s TSX was Treasury Metals, whose shares rose 23.33 percent to $0.74.

According to its website, Treasury Metals’ 10 percent owned Goliath Gold project is on its way to becoming one of Canada’s next producing gold mines. In September, the company announced the addition of a second drill at the project, which it claims will assist in shortening the schedule for infill drilling of deeper sections of the underground ‘inferred’ resource area.

Alamos Gold

Right in the middle of last week’s top 5 gaining stocks on the TSX is Alamos Gold, who announced on Friday its investment in Corex Gold (TSXV:CGE). Alamos Gold is slated to purcahse 25.3 million common shares of Corex Gold, totaling approximately 19.07 percent of the outstanding common shares of Corex.

Alamos Gold is an intermediate gold producer with production in three mines across North America, including the Young-Davidson mine in Ontario, and the Mulatos and El Chanate mines in Mexico.

Last week, shares of Alamos Gold made an 18.37 percent increase to close the five-day period at $11.60.

Alexco Resource

Next is Alexco Resource, who owns the Keno Hill silver district in the Yukon. The Bellekeno silver mine, with a production grade of up to 1,000 grams per tonne, began production in 2011 and was Canada’s primary silver mine from 2011 to 2013.

In September, Alexco announced that results from the ongoing diamond drill program in the Bermingham deposit, with results extending the high-grade silver-bearing Bear zone.

Last week, shares of the company increased 17.56 percent to close the five-day period at $2.41

Sherritt International

Last but not least on last week’s 5 top TSX stocks is Sherritt International, a nickel producer with operations in Canada, Cuba and Madagascar. On October 12, the company announced that the Moa joint venture mine and High Pressure Acid Leach operations in Cuba had resumed operations after Hurricane Matthew passed through eastern Cuba in early October.

Last week, shares of Sherritt International rose 17.5 percent to $0.94.
