Gold and Silver Stocks Dominate TSX Venture 50 List

This year’s TSX Venture 50 list showcases a major shift in sentiment toward the mining sector.

The TSX Venture 50 ranks the top 50 companies on the TSX Venture Exchange based on annual performance using three criteria: one year share price appreciation, market cap growth and Canadian consolidated trading value.

This year’s list includes 51 companies due to a tie based on the ranking system.

Together, the 51 companies have an average share price appreciation of 431 percent — that’s compared to just 207 percent achieved by last year’s group. These companies successfully raised C$1.5 billion in new capital.

Market value growth was an impressive 775 percent for C$17.9 billion in market cap creation.

That market value growth is not only more than double the 333 percent averaged in 2025, but also represents the largest annual gain since the TSX Venture 50 list began in 2006.

The unprecedented performance of the TSX Venture 50 companies, even in the face of mounting global economic uncertainty, is a clear indication that investor confidence in Canadian capital markets remains solid.

“The Venture 50 list this year really does reflect the global interest in mining and this entrance into a commodity super cycle,” said Robert Peterman, chief commercial officer at TSX & Global Capital Formation. Compared to last year’s list, which included only 10 mining companies, this year’s list has 48, the vast majority of which are gold and silver juniors.
