    Iamgold was the top gaining stock in mining on the TSX last week, followed by McEwen Mining, Gabriel Resources, Premier Gold Mines and B2Gold.

    The S&P/TSX Composite index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) dropped drastically on Friday morning after the Brexit referendum. Brits voted 52 to 48 percent to leave the European Union.
    Initially, the TSX lost roughly 300 points at market open on Friday. The index bounced back slightly, but still finished the day down 1.7 percent, and the week down 0.06 percent, at 13,891.88 points.
    However, gold prices and gold equities were on a tear as investors flocked towards the safe haven metal. Gold prices rocketed past $1,300 per ounce overnight, and were still trading at $1,321 per ounce on Friday afternoon.
    A number of gold stocks saw a spike in share price Friday morning, and gains for the week overall, including:

    • Iamgold (TSX:IMG)
    • McEwen Mining (TSX:MUX,NYSE:MUX)
    • Gabriel Resources (TSX:GBU)
    • Premier Gold Mines (TSX:BG)
    • B2Gold (TSX:BTO)
