Last week’s top-gaining mining stocks on the TSX were Eastmain Resources, Monarques Gold, Alio Gold, Cenerra Gold and Coro Mining.
The S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) started the day lower on Friday morning (November 23), opening 84.87 points lower than the previous day at 15,006.71.
Plunging oil prices, which hit an all-year low, weighed heavily on the energy sector causing it to drop by 4.2 percent. The precious and base metals sectors fared slightly better than the energy market, both down roughly 2.8 percent.
Canada’s largest exchange continued to fall over the morning. The TSX sat at 14,909.11 at 1:30 p.m. EST.
Last week’s top TSX stocks include four gold-focused explorers and a copper mining company. The five TSX-listed mining stocks that saw the biggest gains were as follows:
- Eastmain Resources (TSX:ER)
- Monarques Gold (TSX:MQR)
- Alio Gold (TSX:ALO)
- Centerra Gold (TSX:CG)
- Coro Mining (TSX:COP)
Here’s a look at those companies and the factors that moved their share prices last week.

Monarques did not make any announcements last week. However, on November 15, the gold company graduated to the TSX from the TSXV and began trading its stock.
