A perennial Loser, Mighty Kingdom, climbed the leaderboard this week to hit second place and a share price of half a cent.

Petrathrem landed in third place following a presentation at the Sydney RIU Resource Conference last week.

In fourth was Investigator Resources which joined Petratherm at the Sydney RIU Resource Conference and gained 14.58 per cent during the five trading days.

Koonenberry also jumped up 13.33 per cent in the week, and closed out the give trading days with a share price of 1.7 cents per share.

All five of the week’s Winners remain down on a year-on-year basis, with Mighty Kingdom the most sluggish (down 67.85 per cent year-on-year).
