    Last week's top-gaining stocks on the TSX were Gatos Silver, Kolibri Global, UEX, Freegold Ventures and Denison Mines.

    The S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) closed last Friday (July 15) at 18,391.96.

    The index fell on the last day of trading in a week that saw the largest interest rate hike from the Bank of Canada since 1998. The central bank increased rates by 100 basis points on Wednesday (July 13), a move that caught many off guard as expectations were for an increase of 75 basis points.

    “It’s great to see central banks finally waking up and trying to get ahead of this,” said Greg Taylor, chief investment officer at Purpose Investments, following the announcement. “This should be looked at as good news, but markets hate surprises and this caught a lot of people off guard.”


    The gold price continued its decline last week, falling to the US$1,700 per ounce level on the back of a stronger US dollar. Silver followed gold’s path, trading around the US$18 per ounce mark.

    Last week, a number of companies saw their share prices increase, with precious metals and energy stocks making the top performers list. The five TSX-listed mining stocks that saw the biggest gains are as follows:

    • Gato Silver (TSX:GATO)
    • Kolibri Global (TSX:KEI)
    • UEX (TSX:UEX)
    • Freegold Ventures (TSX:FVL)
    • Denison Mines (TSX:DML)

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

    1. Gatos Silver

    Company Profile

    Gatos Silver is a silver-dominant exploration, development and production company that has discovered a new silver- and zinc-rich mineral district in the south of the Mexican state of Chihuahua. Its flagship asset is the Los Gatos district, which includes the Cerro Los Gatos mine.

    During the second quarter of 2022, silver production at Cerro Los Gatos increased by 9 percent, and lead and zinc production increased by 5 and 8 percent, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2021.

    The news sent the company's share price up 16.82 percent to hit C$3.89 by the end of the week.

    2. Kolibri Global Energy

    Company Profile

    Kolibri Global Energy is focused on finding and exploiting energy projects in oil, gas and clean and sustainable energy. Through various subsidiaries, the company owns and operates energy properties in the US.

    Last week, the company did not release any news, but during the five day period, Kolibri’s share price jumped 14.67 percent to end at C$1.72.
