No less than 42 ASX small caps posted a weekly gain of at least 40 per cent this week.
After a couple of years in the investor wilderness, lithium is back with a bang.
Small cap gains this week were led by lithium player Sayona Mining (ASX:SYA), which jumped sharply after announcing an investment and off-take agreement with US-based Tesla supplier Piedmont Lithium (ASX:PLL).
Biotechnology company Nanollose (ASX:NC6) also stood out on a seven-day return basis, after posting two straight daily gains of more than 50 per cent.
That followed news that NC6 is advancing an eco-friendly fabric manufacturing solution with Grasim Industries, a subsidiary of Indian conglomerate Aditya Birla Group (annual revenues: ~US50bn).
