That was the case for Resolution Minerals – a mineral exploration company focused on battery metals like gold, copper, cobalt and uranium – the biggest Loser of the week.

The company’s shares fell by 33.33 per cent in the week alongside West Australian uranium firm Paladin Energy (ASX: PDN) which also fell by 9.5 per cent in the five trading days, while the operator of the Honeymoon uranium project in SA Boss Energy also fell by 7.6 per cent.

Meanwhile, industrial minerals miner Andromeda rose strongly on news of a binding offtake agreement with Traxys Europe.

“We are excited to seal our comprehensive strategic partnership with Traxys. Traxys is an ideal strategic partner for Andromeda, one in whom we can trust, and one that shares our commitment to meeting the increasing global need for superior industrial minerals,” Andromeda CEO and managing director Bob Katsiouleris said.

“The agreement with Traxys is a significant step towards Andromeda’s long-term success.”
