Good afternoon, and welcome to the HotCopper HotList column. Every week, ASX companies of every shape and size go through the ups and downs that is the Australian trading rollercoaster. Fortunes made, and equity lost each time the bourse opens – which is why watching market trends is so key.
Listen to the HotCopper podcast for in-depth discussions and insights on all the biggest headlines from throughout the week. On Spotify, Apple, and more.
You certainily don’t have to go it alone, though: We’ve put together the “HotList,” the top ten ASX companies added to HotCopper watchlists in Week 4 — and this week, we’re starting with Dalaroo Metals.
1. Dalaroo Metals
First up, Dalaroo Metals (ASX:DAL) was the top watchlisted company on HotCopper‘s HotList and by some margin in Week 4, more than doubling the next stock, Nico (and, more on them in a moment here anyway).
Dalaroo has long been a much-followed stock on the forums, but the ASX company’s Greenland expansion right when Donald Trump is looking to invest (or maybe rather, storm in) has rekindled interest. The explorer’s “fast tracking” exploration at its flagship Blue Lagoon project to capitalise.
Then there’s the price action, which has likely drawn investors in just as much − DAL has been up +104% in the last month, booming through January.
To today, the company’s shares are 8.4c each.
2. Nico Resources
Nico Resources (ASX:NC1) is the second company on the HotList through this week, up to January 23, with the explorer catching attention after a $3.73M capital raise (fairly oversubscribed) ended Wednesday.
The nickel explorer has been capitalising on the transition metals’ spiking prices − it’s a little over $18,110/tn today − and is progressing its nickel-cobalt oxide project, Wingellina in Western Australia. (That’s where most of the nearly-$4M the Aussie company’s recently raised will be heading this year.)
Through to mid-arvo Friday, shares in NC1 are fetching 34c/ea.
3. Resolution Minerals
Last on the top-three podium in WK4 was Resolution Minerals (ASX:RML). The antimony explorer (a Market Link client, I’d flag) hauled in some standout samples at its U.S. asset “Antimony Ridge” last Wednesday − up to 49% antimony, 890g/t silver − and that was enough to carry buzz into this week.
That Antimony Ridge sits in the wider Horse Heaven prospect, which Resolution has been working to expand since mid-CY25. The explorer hopes it can cash in on the growing antimony hype in the States.
So far, it’s working well: RML stocks are up +37% YTD, and +509% YOY. By the end of Week 4, Resolution has been trading at 6.7cps.
And then, rounding out the HotList in Week 4 was:
- Linq Minerals
- New Murchison Gold
- Manuka Resources
- West Wits Mining
- Advance Metals
- 4DMedical
- And, American Tungsten and Antimony
