Alicanto Minerals is launching an extensive 50,000-metre drilling campaign at its newly acquired Mt Henry Gold Project in Western Australia, aiming to expand and upgrade its existing 0.9 million ounce gold resource.

Speculative money piled into new discoveries and tight-supply metals, while a handful of small caps were sold hard on thin liquidity. The week’s biggest moves came from PGMs and tungsten on the way up, and micro-cap gas on the way down.
