AMR--
5E Advanced Materials (FEAM) and American Resources (AMR) were notable performers, with gains of 17.6% and 12.3% respectively. These gains were largely attributed to favorable market conditions and positive developments in the industry. For instance, 5E Advanced Materials published a Pre-Feasibility Technical Report for its Fort Cady Project, revealing a robust economic profile with a $724.8M pre-tax NPV7 and a 19.2% IRR [4].
Non-precious metals and non-metallic mining shares also saw a 2.4% rise, with Alpha Metallurgical Resources (AMR) and Ramaco Resources (RMR) leading the group with gains of 18% and 7% respectively. These gains were likely influenced by broader market trends and investor optimism about the sector's future prospects.
The gains in the sector were partly driven by positive news in the precious metals market. Gold mining stocks saw gains after U.S. authorities confirmed that specific gold bars would be included in President Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariff measures [2]. This announcement sparked immediate market volatility and led to significant gains in gold mining stocks, including Wheaton Precious Metals (WPM), Barrick Mining (B), and OR Royalties (OR).
Overall, the sector's performance on Friday was driven by a combination of strong individual company performances and broader market trends. Investors and financial professionals should continue to monitor the sector for further developments and potential opportunities.
