Peel shareholders will also retain exposure to precious metals exploration through a demerger into a new ASX-listed entity.

Sky Metals has revealed significant new tin mineralisation extensions at its Tallebung project in NSW, confirmed by recent drilling and surface sampling. The company is advancing a major resource update, signalling strong growth potential.

A single exploration name blew the doors off the leaderboard, while two well-known uranium plays and a Nevada explorer sank hard. Behind the noise: deals got closer to completion, big raisings reset prices, and several “good news” gaps didn’t survive the week.

A single drill program in WA delivered a once-a-year spike, while several small caps fell hard after reopening with price gaps. This week also saw big money raised for gold and uranium builds, and a run of resource upgrades across critical minerals.

Small caps did the heavy lifting this week, led by two big discovery stories in resources. Funding raises and takeover moves kept attention on who can pay for the next step, not just promise it.

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.
