The stock is up 56% on news it has announced a proposed go-private transaction for a cash consideration of $0.90.

The company operates through Copper Alloys and Engineered Materials segments.

The stock is up 42% on news of reporting record quarterly profits.

A very interesting pattern being formed here. I see the skeleton of an inverse head and shoulders pattern here. The trigger is a breakout above $0.12.

Coniagas Battery Metals (COS.V)

Market Cap ~ $4.2 million

Coiniagas is building the next world class critical metals project. Coniagas has secured the Graal in Saguenay, Québec. Drilling indicates a large, high-grade polymetallic deposit containing nickel, copper, and cobalt. Mining would allow proceeds from one metal to finance production of another.

The stock is up 27% on no news.

The stock has just begun trading in April, so we have limited price action. However, we can spot some important support and resistance levels. We have major support at $0.11 and a major resistance comes in at $0.16. A close above this price would set us up for a move back to previous record highs.

Bear Creek Mining (BCM.V)

Market Cap ~ $107 million

Bear Creek Mining Corporation engages in the acquisition, exploration, and development of precious and base metal properties in Peru and Mexico. It explores for silver, lead, zinc, and gold deposits.

The stock is up 22% on no news.

The first higher low is looking to be confirmed here. Watch for a daily close above $0.44 to confirm this by the end of the week. It would set up for a move up to $0.60 in the following weeks.

NorthX Nickel (NIX.CN)

Market Cap ~ $7.4 million

NorthX Nickel Corp. engages in the identification, acquisition, evaluation, and exploration of mineral properties. Its flagship asset is the Grasset nickel sulphide project that consists of 153 claims blocks covering an area of 81.81 square kilometers located in the Quebec, Canada.

The stock is up 25% on no news.

The stock is looking like it wants to attempt to make a run in filling the gap. We had a confirmed close above resistance at $0.30. The stock looks ready to climb and test $0.50. To fill the gap, the stock needs to confirm a close above $1.07.

Top 5 Losers

The stock is rejecting resistance at $0.65. Some profits are being taken, but the stock remains in breakout mode and can form a higher low. The best way to play is to either wait for a breakout above recent highs, or wait for the retest of the $0.25 zone.

Market Cap ~ $91 million

Bluestone Resources Inc. engages in the exploration and development of precious metals. Its flagship asset is the Cerro Blanco gold project located in Southern Guatemala in the department of Jutiapa.

The stock is down 16% on no news.

The stock is breaking into new record lows. It is bleeding hard and the downtrend remain intact. $0.50 is a major psychological zone. Perhaps the stock can range here. A range will be key in indicating selling exhaustion.
