Anyone know what it going on? Price uptick and very good volume for the past week or so. Is this due to the rise in price of nickel and copper or is there something going on behind the scenes?

I didn't have time to watch the markets last week but today there seems to be a pattern at play. RBC, Scotia, e-trade are the active houses. All I do know is that there is a lot of shares to burn through before this stock goes higher!
