The IPO class of 2021 comes to a close this week, with the last of this year debutants hitting the boards over the coming days.

In a year where IPOs have been dominated by junior resource explorers, it wouldn't be fitting if we didn't have any commodities floats planned. However, there are as many as seven resource IPOs on the cards this week, spanning base metals, battery metals and also oil and gas. 

Some of the names lining up this week include copper, gold, lithium and nickel explorer Infinity Mining (ASX: IMI), which has secured $10 million, plus Greentech Metals (ASX: GRE) and DMC Mining (ASX: DMM), which have both secured $5 million for copper and nickel exploration.For those eyeing a change of theme, BirdDog Technology (ASX: BDT), a developer and manufacturer of audio-visual and video technology, hits the boards today at 11am Sydney-time after securing $33 million at $0.65 per share. It is also the week biggest raising, with its high definition, 4K and pan-tilt-zoom cameras, and accompanying products and software, used by the likes of Apple, Microsoft and Formula 1.
