ASX resources stocks take gold and silver

Resources stocks accounted for half the 18. The biggest winner is De Grey Mining (ASX:DEG), which has made much of its gains in 2020 with its Hemi gold discovery.

Following behind and also on a gain over 8,000 per cent is Bellevue (ASX:BGL). While Bellevue’s success has been more spread out over a number of years, it too has risen off exploration success at its namesake gold project.

Other big movers include Ramelius Resources (ASX:RMS), which has had exploration success at multiple projects and has grown itself through acquisitions, as well as current takeover target Cardinal Resources (ASX:CDV).

But even long-term producers have also witnessed big spikes, one example being St Barbara (ASX:SBM).

Switch from resources to BNPL makes a winner

While the buy now, pay later (BNPL) boom was yet to begin in 2014, Zip Co (ASX:Z1P) makes the list because it entered the ASX via the shell of Rubiana Resources.

The BNPL sector has taken off ever since as new companies entered the space and it became popular with Australian consumers. According to consumer site Mozo, 5.8 million people now have an account with a provider.

Like its peers, Zip has excited investors with its rolling out of retail partnership after retail partnership. Additionally, it has been one of the more aggressive on the acquisition trail.

Another tech winner is ASX200 company Altium (ASX:ALU). This firm makes PC-based electronics design software for engineers who design printed circuit boards.

In the health sector winners include opthamology biotech Opthea (ASX:OPT), which has seen clinical trial success, and radiology software stock Pro Medicus (ASX:PME) which has been successful on the sales front.
