Errawarra Resources (ASX:ERW) finished the week strongest, piling on 66.6% just by living next door to Azure Minerals.

Similarly, Raiden Resources (ASX:RDN) leapt 37.5% into the air for much the same reason, as has Greentech Metals (ASX:GRE) which climbed more than 21%.

Advanced Health Intelligence (ASX:AHI) popped nicely on a deal that will see the company re-enter China through Shanghai-based Changlin Network Technology.

And Koonenberry Gold (ASX:KNB) finishe Friday up 42% after announcing that the NSW Regulator has granted approval to commence drilling at the company’s Bellagio prospect in the state’s northwest.

KNB says that an aircore drilling program is scheduled to commence in August and has been designed to test multiple high grade gold assays from outcropping quartz veins, including the 39.4g/t gold and 22.5g/t gold rock chips previously reported, as well as a “robust” gold in soil anomaly with a maximum result of 33ppb Au.
