    Last week’s top-gaining stocks on the TSX were Questerre Energy, Transglobe Energy, Canarc Resource, Imperial Metals and New Millennium Iron. 

    The S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) closed last Friday (December 4) at 17,524.58. 

    Boosted by higher oil prices, optimistic Canadian jobs data for November and a decline in the unemployment rate, the index was near 10 month highs on Friday.

    In commodities, gold and silver were on track for a weekly gain, while copper continued to trend upwards, touching its highest point of the year so far at US$7,679 per tonne.

    Last week’s five TSX-listed mining stocks that saw the biggest gains are as follows:

    • Questerre Energy (TSX:QEC)
    • Transglobe Energy (TSX:TGL)
    • Canarc Resource (TSX:CCM)
    • Imperial Metals (TSX:III)
    • New Millennium Iron (TSX:NML)

    Here’s a look at those companies and the factors that moved their share prices last week.

    Questerre Energy is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas projects, specifically non-conventional projects such as tight oil, oil shale, shale oil and shale gas.

    3. Canarc Resource

    Canarc Resource is focused on discovering, exploring and developing strategic gold deposits in North America. The company is currently advancing two core assets, each with substantial gold resources, and has initiated a high-impact exploration strategy to acquire and explore new properties that have district-scale gold discovery potential.

    Despite not releasing news last week, shares of the company increased 30.77 percent to end the five day period at C$0.17.
