Takeovers, mine studies and record quarterly updates drove the week, with buyers chasing companies that put hard numbers around cash flow, reserves and contract wins. Losses were just as sharp where traders sold into reopenings or questioned whether fresh capital and non-binding deals would turn into profits.

The strongest gains came where companies delivered something concrete: thicker ore, bigger reserves, better cash flow or a clearer route to production.

A handful of small-cap names posted big weekly swings, but the bigger story was a flood of new studies, resource upgrades and funding deals across gold, rare earths and battery materials. Investors chased scale and near-term production, while several raisings and gap-down reopenings showed how quickly early enthusiasm can fade.
