Mining stocks claim record 60% of 2026 TSX30

AI desk brief

Mining stocks took a record 60% of the 2026 TSX30, with 18 mining names on the list, up 57% from 2025. Gold and silver companies still dominated the rankings, while Montage Gold ranked second overall after a 2,502% three-year dividend-adjusted gain; Faraday Copper, Aclara Resources and Trilogy Metals also posted large multi-year advances.

The broader takeaway is that investors are rewarding exposure to precious and critical minerals, and the TSX said 11 of the 18 mining names graduated from the TSX Venture Exchange. That suggests continued capital-market support for junior-to-development-stage miners, even as the mix broadens beyond gold and silver into copper and rare earths.
