TSX, Venture See $6.8 Billion In Mining Investment In First Half Of 2024
Canada’s mining industry has witnessed a notable surge in 2024, as investment via the Toronto Stock Exchange and the TSX Venture Exchange has seen a 62% increase in capital raised compared to the previous year.
The first half of 2024 has seen strong support for Canada’s mining sector, with companies listed on the TSX and TSXV raising a combined total of $6.8 billion. This represents a substantial increase from the $4.2 billion raised during the same period in 2023.
TMX Group, the parent company of both exchanges, reported that the mining sector is now their largest in terms of capital raising, listed stocks, and trading volume.
Dean McPherson, the global head of mining at TSX, highlighted the significance of this trend in a recent interview. He noted that the increasing amount of capital being raised is a key indicator of growing investor confidence in the mining sector.
“In terms of financing, that’s a key indicator of investors’ attitude, and that’s been trending up,” McPherson stated. His observations align with the broader market sentiment, which has seen investors flocking to mining stocks as a hedge against economic uncertainty and in response to the growing demand for critical minerals globally.
The TSX and TSXV continue to hold a dominant position in the global mining industry, hosting more listings of mining companies than any other stock exchange in the world, including those in New York and London. Approximately 40% of the world’s public mining companies are listed on these Canadian exchanges.
