Sometimes positive markets enable individual companies to spring to life without any substantial information changing hands.
Vancouver-based West Kirkland Mining Inc. (TSX-Venture:WKM) appears to be one of the beneficiaries of the good vibes. Today, the junior miner confirmed its management was unaware of any material change in the Company's operations that would account for the recent increase in market activity.
West Kirkland is focused on advancing the Hasbrouck Gold Project in Tonopah, Nevada. WKM owns a 75% interest in, and a 1.1% net smelter return royalty over, the Hasbrouck Gold Project and is working towards completing full permitting for the project's gold reserves while keeping corporate G&A costs lean and efficient.
Whatever the factors, or lack of them, shares in WKM gained 1.5 cents, or 18.8%, to 9.5 cents, on more than 1.7 million shares.
