  • Semafo Inc (TSX: SMF), which increased 23% following a Q2/2017 earnings release;
  • B2 Gold Corp. (TSX: BTO), whose shares increased 18%, due primarily to a late September announcement that construction at its flagship Fekola mine has been completed three months ahead of schedule; and,
  • Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX: AGI) that decreased 10%, following the announcement of the friendly acquisition of Richmont Mines (TSX: RIC) for US$770mm at a 22% premium.
