Best Silver Stocks on the TSX
The silver price has been volatile so far this year, but what are the best silver stocks on the TSX? We’ve got the answers here.
Click here to read the latest best silver stocks on the TSX article.
Silver rallied to a seven year high in early 2021, coming in at US$28.55 per ounce. The precious metal didn't perform as well in the second half of the year, but some TSX-listed silver stocks enjoyed share price gains.
As of December 15, the price of the white metal looked set to finish the year around the US$22 range. Heading into 2022, experts believe the outlook for silver remains positive on the back of factors like growing industrial demand, investor demand for hedges against inflation and a looming silver supply deficit.
With the silver price slipping throughout H2, only a few TSX-listed silver stocks experienced share price growth. The three companies below are the best silver stocks on the TSX with the biggest share price gains year-to-date, but it's worth noting that despite having strong silver components, they are not solely focused on silver.
The best silver stocks list below was generated on December 15, 2021, using TradingView’s stock screener. All the silver-mining stocks listed had market caps above C$50 million at that time.

Shares of Aya Gold & Silver hit a year-to-date high of C$11.85 on August 13. The spike followed the company’s news about record operating cash flow for the third consecutive quarter. In mid-December, Aya released an updated resource estimate for Zgounder. Measured and indicated resources increased by 116 percent compared to the firm's March resource estimate, and now stand at 96.1 million ounces of silver.
