Speculative resources names drove the biggest moves this week, with Patriot Resources, Brazilian Critical Minerals and Rent.com.au leading the gainers. At the other end, Qoria, SQX Resources and 4DMedical fell hard as capital raisings, weak follow-through and post-gap selling hit sentiment.

Silver, rare earths and select critical minerals led this week’s winners, while lithium names and several larger producers slipped despite busy news flow. Big resource upgrades, fresh funding and cleaner processing routes drew buyers, but many early gaps failed to hold.
