Good afternoon, and welcome to the HotCopper HotList Top 10. Every week, hundreds of companies go through the ups and downs of the ASX trading rollercoaster, with fortunes made and equity lost each time the Aussie bourse opens – which is why keeping an eye on all the trending stocks 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.
We’ve put together the HotCopper HotList: The top ten ASX-listed companies added to HotCopper users’ watchlists, so you can keep an eye on them too – and broken down why the top three companies made trending lists.
Without further ado, here’s all the companies top-listed on the HotCopper forums.
1. Venari Minerals
Venari Minerals (ASX:VMS), once called “Astute Metals,” has been the top-trending company on the HotCopper forums through Week 43. The explorer is an interesting one, hunting lithium and gold in Nevada.
So far, that’s been working pretty well; Venari is working towards a Mineral Resource Estimate at its Red Mountain project, and it’s getting close.
Expectations are, HotCopper understands, that that maiden MRE should be in the can by the end of the year. Background work was first started earlier in CY25, while RC drilling has been running across 2,679 metres (13 holes) as well.
Aussie traders seem pretty happy to jump in now, with the idea that once the MRE is locked in (and comes in positive), prices will soar.
VMS is 1.7cps today.
2. Liberty Metals
Another company catching attention has been Liberty Metals (ASX:LIB), after the ASX-listed company scooped up two critical mineral projects in Brazil.
Lots to love here in traders’ eyes, not least because the explorer got in just before Trump and Albo penned their big crit minerals pact in Washington last week. The projects themselves are quite interesting: The company now commands the Paraiba Hard Rock Rutile project, the Rio Grande HMS site, and Alcobaca.
That last one is the buzzy pick-up; it’s mainly focused on heavy mineral sands and rare earths, both of which should be blockbuster sectors as long as the Australia-U.S. deal spreads through the sector.
Today, LIB can be picked up for 0.4cps. It’s up +17% this week.
3. Rivco Australia
And finally, Rivco Australia (ASX:RIV) has been added to a load of HotCopper watchlists through Week 43 for a simple reason: Duxton Water just went through a rebrand, changing its ticker code at the same time.
Duxton Water, now “Rivco,” swapped its trading name last week to “reflect the company’s evolution into a fully internalised business.”
And rounding out the HotList top 10 this week was:
- Arafura Rare Earths (ASX:ARU)
- Resolution Minerals (ASX:RML)
- American West Metals (ASX:AW1)
- Larvotto Resources (ASX:LRV)
- Lynas Rare Earths (ASX:LYC)
- Northern Minerals (ASX:NTU)
- And, St George Mining (ASX:SGQ)
