Top 5 Canadian Mining Stocks This Week: MAX Power Energized with 83 Percent Gain

Investing 11 Mins Read

Statistics Canada released August’s gross domestic product (GDP) data on Friday (October 31). The numbers showed a 0.3 percent decline in real GDP overall, with declines seen in many sectors of the Canadian economy.

The mining, quarrying, and oil and gas sector was down 0.7 percent during the month after increasing in June and July. This was led by a 5 percent decrease in support activities and a 1.3 percent drop in mining and quarrying, including a 1.2 percent decline in metal ore mining, while oil and gas extraction increased by 0.2 percent.

Likewise, the manufacturing sector was down 0.5 percent, with durable goods manufacturing weighing heavily with a decrease of 0.8 percent. One spot of good news is that primary metal manufacturing rose 3.7 percent, which was headlined by a 9.6 percent increase in aluminum production and processing.

The report also included an advance estimate for September, predicting a 0.1 percent increase, as well as increases in the resource sector. Overall, this would mean Q3’s real GDP also increased by 0.1 percent, avoiding a recession following a 0.4 percent decline in the second quarter.

These figures, along with the consumer price index edging up to 2.4 percent in September, may also have played into the Bank of Canada’s decision on Wednesday (October 29) to cut its benchmark interest rate by another 25 basis points to 2.25 percent.

In its announcement, the central bank noted that the Governing Council sees the policy rate at the right level to maintain inflation close to its 2 percent target, but it would be prepared to respond if the outlook changes.

Bank Governor Tiff Macklem once again stressed that “monetary policy cannot undo the damage caused by tariffs.” However, while the central bank expects the economy to remain weak through the end of 2025, it was also expecting modest growth.

Meanwhile, the United States Federal Reserve also announced on Wednesday that it would cut its Federal Funds Rate by 25 points to the 3.75 to 4 percent range. In its statement, the Federal Open Market Committee discussed slowing job growth and rising inflation, which has moved away from its 2 percent target.

The next meeting of the Fed is scheduled for December 9 and 10; however, concerns remain about data availability, as a shutdown of the US federal government has affected agencies’ ability to deliver critical economic and job data, leaving the Fed to rely on private-sector research.

Markets and commodities react

Canadian equity markets were mixed this week.

The S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) gained 0.04 percent over the week to close Friday at 30,260.74.

On the other hand, the S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index (INDEXTSI:JX) ended the week down 0.49 percent at 957.88. The CSE Composite Index (CSE:CSECOMP) also fell this week, shedding 1.21 percent to close out the week at 175.27.

The gold price was down 3.08 percent this week, closing at US$4,001.76 per ounce. The silver price also fell but fared better, dropping just 0.52 percent to US$48.57 by 4:00 p.m. EDT Friday.

Meanwhile, in base metals, the copper price shed 1.5 percent to US$5.16 per pound.

The S&P Goldman Sachs Commodities Index (INDEXSP:SPGSCI) fell 0.79 percent to end Friday at 557.01.

In total, the company holds permits for 1.3 million acres of land across the province, with an additional 5.7 million under application. Its primary site is focused on the Genesis Trend, a 200 kilometer by 75 kilometer area near the Regina-Moose Jaw Industrial Corridor, a proposed hydrogen hub.

On October 24, the company announced it received a drilling license for its first hydrogen well within the Genesis Trend, which will also be Canada’s first deep well dedicated to natural hydrogen.

The company said operations at its Lawson well will commence on or about November 7. The program will include the use of gas chromatographs to sample for helium, nitrogen and methane and another mass spectrometer specifically to detect hydrogen.

Then, on Monday (October 27), MAX Power reported that it had identified the Bracken target in Southwest Saskatchewan along the border with Montana. It marks the company’s first high-priority target outside of the Genesis Trend, lying within the 120,000 acre Grasslands project. The next step will be to acquire proprietary 2D seismic data, which it anticipates will be completed in Q4 of 2025.

On Tuesday (October 28), MAX announced the development of the MAX Power Large Earth Model Integration, which combines datasets from government and commercial sources to create maps that enable the evaluation of hydrogen prospectivity and more.

The company said that in version 2 of the technology, it will integrate machine learning into the process to better understand the data at a granular level and will eventually be able to apply it to any jurisdiction in the world.

The most recent news came on Thursday (October 30), when MAX appointed Ranjith Narayanasamy, who is President and CEO of the Petroleum Technology Research Centre, as its new CEO effective December 8.

FAQs for Canadian mining stocks

What is the difference between the TSX and TSXV?

The TSX, or Toronto Stock Exchange, is used by senior companies with larger market caps, and the TSXV, or TSX Venture Exchange, is used by smaller-cap companies. Companies listed on the TSXV can graduate to the senior exchange.

How many mining companies are listed on the TSX and TSXV?

As of May 2025, there were 1,565 companies listed on the TSXV, 910 of which were mining companies. Comparatively, the TSX was home to 1,899 companies, with 181 of those being mining companies.

Together, the TSX and TSXV host around 40 percent of the world’s public mining companies.

How much does it cost to list on the TSXV?

There are a variety of different fees that companies must pay to list on the TSXV, and according to the exchange, they can vary based on the transaction’s nature and complexity. The listing fee alone will most likely cost between C$10,000 to C$70,000. Accounting and auditing fees could rack up between C$25,000 and C$100,000, while legal fees are expected to be over C$75,000 and an underwriters’ commission may hit up to 12 percent.

The exchange lists a handful of other fees and expenses companies can expect, including but not limited to security commission and transfer agency fees, investor relations costs and director and officer liability insurance.

These are all just for the initial listing, of course. There are ongoing expenses once companies are trading, such as sustaining fees and additional listing fees, plus the costs associated with filing regular reports.

How do you trade on the TSXV?

Investors can trade on the TSXV the way they would trade stocks on any exchange. This means they can use a stock broker or an individual investment account to buy and sell shares of TSXV-listed companies during the exchange’s trading hours.

Top 5 Canadian Cobalt Stocks of 2025

Investing 9 Mins Read

Cobalt prices regained momentum in the third quarter of 2025 as tighter export controls from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) fueled expectations of a market rebound.

After languishing near multi-year lows early in the year, the metal surged to US$47,110 per metric ton in late October, its highest level since January 2023.

The DRC’s prolonged export suspension, followed by new quota limits, has begun to ease a years-long supply glut, with analysts now forecasting a shift from oversupply toward market balance.

All year-to-date and share price information was obtained on October 28, 2025, using TradingView’s stock screener. Companies with market caps above C$10 million at that time were considered.

1. Talon Metals (TSX:TLO)

Year-to-date gain: 358.82 percent
Market cap: C$440.55 million
Share price: C$0.39

Talon Metals is a base metals company advancing the Tamarack nickel-copper-cobalt project in Central Minnesota, US, through a joint venture with Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO,NYSE:RIO,LSE:RIO). Talon currently holds a 51 percent stake in the project and can earn up to 60 percent.

In late March, Talon Metals announced a massive sulfide discovery at its Tamarack project, with an intercept measuring 8.25 meters containing 95 percent sulfide content located deeper than the current Tamarack resource.

In May, a further massive sulfide discovery in the same zone, the thickest discovery yet at the site, drove the company’s share price up significantly, and another in early August did the same. In the August announcement, Talon shared that it named the discovery zone the Vault zone.

At the start of Q4, Talon announced an expanded winter drilling and exploration program at the Vault zone.

Shares of Talon rallied to a year-to-date high of C$0.54 on October 14, following the winter drill news and alongside rising cobalt prices.

On October 20, Talon received a 12 month extension from Rio Tinto subsidiary Kennecott Exploration to submit a feasibility study and US$10 million payment required to increase its ownership stake in the Tamarack project to 60 percent.

The extension will allow Talon to align the study’s release with the publication of the project’s scoping environmental assessment worksheet, expected in the first half of 2026, marking its entry into Minnesota’s formal environmental review process.

2. Leading Edge Materials (TSXV:LEM)

Year-to-date gain: 222.22 percent
Market cap: C$72.49 million
Share price: C$0.29

Leading Edge Materials is developing critical materials projects in the EU. The company’s projects include its wholly owned Woxna graphite mine and Norra Kärr heavy rare earth elements project, both in Sweden, as well as its 51 percent owned Bihor Sud nickel-cobalt exploration alliance in Romania.

According to its June 2025 presentation, exploration work planned for 2025 at Bihor Sud’s G2 gallery includes mapping and sampling of cobalt-nickel and zinc-lead-silver mineralized zones detected visually and by hand-held XRF. Drilling targeting polymetallic mineralization at the gallery is underway.

On the financial side, Leading Edge announced a C$400,000 non-brokered private placement in June.

According to a June 22 activities update, Leading Edge’s Romanian subsidiary was granted ownership and operational permits for the Avram Iancu mine at Bihor Sud, and the team had begun preliminary investigations of the site.

In its recent quarterly report, released September 19, Leading Edge Materials said it is reassessing its prospects after being granted those permits. at its project located within the Bihor Sud exploration area following the acquisition of additional ownership and operating permits.

The Avram Iancu site hosts extensive historic underground workings and data indicating copper-rich massive sulfide zones, the statement noted.

A competent person report is in progress to consolidate past exploration and outline next steps, while the company evaluates financing options to advance development.

Shares of Leading Edge also benefited from the mid-October cobalt price rally, registering a year-to-date high of C$0.44 on October 14.

3. Battery Mineral Resources (TSXV:BMR)

Year-to-date gain: 180 percent
Market cap: C$16.79 million
Share price: C$0.14

Battery Mineral Resources is focused on developing into a mid-tier copper producer and recently restarted mine and mill operations at the Punitaqui Mining Complex in Chile. In Canada, the company holds the largest land position in Ontario’s historic Cobalt district, where it is exploring high-grade primary cobalt deposits at McAra, Gowganda and Elk Lake.

The company’s portfolio also includes energy services and mineral exploration assets in North America, along with graphite projects in South Korea.

In late October, BMR said it was evaluating strategic options for its Gowganda silver tailings project, located northeast of Sudbury, Ontario.

The project lies in one of the country’s most productive past silver-cobalt districts, and the Gowganda mining camp produced 60 million ounces of silver and 1.3 million pounds of cobalt between 1910 and 1969. Gowganda hosts four former mines and associated tailings historically estimated to contain 2.96 million ounces of silver. BMR is assessing how best to advance or monetize the asset to enhance shareholder value.

On October 16, Battery Mineral Resources reported strong operational performance at its Punitaqui copper project in Chile, driven by improved underground production and plant optimization. Since September 1, 2025, underground operations have averaged 1,800 tonnes per day, up 80 percent from the first half of the year, and 2,000 tonnes per day over the recent two weeks period.

BMR is also advancing development of additional underground operations at Cinabrio Norte and Dalmacia to support further growth from Punitaqui.

The news pushed shares of BMR to a year-to-date high of C$0.17 on October 21.

4. FPX Nickel (TSXV:FPX)

Year-to-date gain: 95.74 percent
Market cap: C$144.81 million
Share price: C$0.46

FPX Nickel is currently advancing its Decar nickel district in BC, Canada.

The property comprises four key targets, with the Baptiste deposit being the primary focus, alongside the Van target. The company also has three other nickel projects in BC and one in the Yukon, Canada.

In February, FPX released a scoping study for the development of a refinery that would refine awaruite concentrate from Baptiste into battery-grade nickel sulfate and by-products of cobalt carbonate, copper and ammonium sulfate. Annual output is anticipated at 32,000 metric tons of contained nickel and 570 metric tons of contained cobalt.

The results show that the process would result in operating and all-in production costs near the bottom of nickel sulfate cost curve, in part due to by-product credits. Additionally, the carbon intensity of the awaruite refinery would be significantly lower than that of currently used production methods.

On September 4, FPX completed a large-scale mineral processing pilot campaign for its Baptiste nickel project, following three prior successful campaigns. The latest production run generated bulk samples of awaruite concentrate, which will be provided to prospective partners, including pre-cursor cathode active materials, battery producers and automakers, to assess its suitability as feedstock.

Later in the month, FPX signed an option agreement to acquire up to 100 percent of the Advocate nickel property in Newfoundland, Canada, following its review of over 50 targets. The property has also been accepted by the Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC) as the first designated property under the generative alliance between FPX and JOGMEC, with a significant work program planned to build on encouraging surface nickel recoveries.

FPX shares registered a year-to-date high of C$0.55 on October 17.

5. Wheaton Precious Metals (TSX:WPM)

Year-to-date gain: 61.23 percent
Market cap: C$60.38 billion

According to Wheaton, Voisey’s Bay is currently in a transitional phase, shifting from the depleted Ovoid open pit to full underground production.

The company reported its Q1 financial results on May 8. The report highlighted a record US$470 million in revenue, US$254 million in net earnings and US$361 million in operating cash flow.

The cobalt segment registered year-on-year attributable production gains, rising to 540,000 pounds in the year’s first quarter, compared to 240,000 pounds during Q1 2024. Despite the output increase, sales fell to 265,000 pounds in Q1 versus 309,000 pounds in Q1 2024.

According to Wheaton’s Q2 2025 results, the Voisey’s Bay mine produced 647,000 pounds of attributable cobalt, a roughly 150 percent increase from the same period in 2024. Vale reported that the underground operations are steadily ramping up, with full production expected by the second half of 2026 as the transition from the depleted Ovoid open-pit continues.

Shares of Wheaton rose to a year-to-date high of C$159.41 on October 16 alongside rising prices for gold, silver and cobalt.

FAQs for cobalt

What is cobalt?

Cobalt is a silver-gray metal that is often produced as a by-product of nickel and copper mining. It does not occur as a separate metal anywhere in the world, and must be produced by reductive smelting, or from the metallic ore cobaltite, which is made of cobalt, sulfur and arsenic.

What is cobalt used for?

Historically, cobalt oxides were used to impart a blue pigment to glass, porcelain and paints, hence the still-used cobalt blue paint. The metal is also used to produce superalloys, as cobalt imparts qualities such as corrosion and wear resistance, which are useful in applications such as airplanes, orthopedics and prosthetics.

Today cobalt is most famously used in the rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that run everything from smartphones to EVs.

Where is cobalt mined?

The majority of cobalt production comes out of the DRC, which was responsible for producing 220,000 metric tons of the material in 2024. For perspective, the second largest cobalt-producing country, Indonesia, reported output of 28,000 MT the same year; third place Russia produced 8,700 MT of the material.

As the lithium-ion battery and EV supply chains garner global attention, companies are trying to limit their exposure to cobalt produced from the DRC, which is known for human rights abuses and sometimes child labor in its mining industry.

In response to this trend, many countries with cobalt are attempting to create domestic cobalt and EV supply chains in the hope of attracting companies looking to avoid DRC-sourced cobalt. This can be seen in the up-and-coming battery corridor in Ontario, Canada, as well as in the US-based Idaho cobalt belt.

Key Project

Yuma King

The Yuma King copper-gold project covers a 3,200-hectare district-scale property in the historic Ellsworth mining district of west-central Arizona, approximately 150 km northwest of Phoenix. The property hosts the past-producing Yuma mine, where operations between 1940 and 1963 yielded high-grade copper and gold ore.

Yuma King property overview

Corcel has defined three primary target zones within the project: the Yuma King Mine zone, hosting near-surface and down-dip skarn mineralization open along a 1.6 km corridor; Yuma King West, characterized by high-grade gold-copper rock samples and coincident copper-gold-molybdenum soil anomalies; and the Three Musketeers area, marked by strong magnetic destruction and soil anomalies indicative of a potential upper porphyry environment.

Exploration Targets and Results

Skarn and Replacement Mineralization: Copper-gold skarn zones with oxide and sulfide mineralization remain open in multiple directions. Historical drilling intersected intervals such as 45.4 m grading 0.78 percent copper, 0.53 grams per ton (g/t) gold, and 6.3 g/t silver.

Drilling at Yuma King in 2006

Porphyry Potential: Geological and geochemical data indicate a buried copper-molybdenum-gold porphyry system, with prior holes intersecting up to 395 ft of 753 parts per million (ppm) copper and 184 ppm molybdenum. Magnetite destructive alteration was located in the Three Musketeers area and is associated with strong gold and copper in soils and rocks, indicating the potential upper levels of a porphyry system.

Surface Sampling: 2,263 soil and 303 rock chip samples have defined 1.2 km-long copper-gold-molybdenum anomalies, with rock assays up to 17.15 g/t gold and 11.6 percent copper, identifying multiple new high-priority zones.

Untested Targets: The Three Musketeers and Yuma King West zones host strong magnetic features and soil anomalies under shallow cover, indicating potential extensions of the mineralized system.

2025 Program: Phase 1 drilling (2,000 m) and 8.5 km of IP surveys are planned to test these targets, marking the first comprehensive, data-integrated exploration in the district in over 70 years

World Bank: Oil Glut to Drive Commodities Prices to Six Year Low

Investing 4 Mins Read

Global commodities prices are on track to fall to their lowest level in six years by 2026, as weaker demand, a widening oil surplus and policy uncertainty continue to weigh on markets, according to the World Bank.

In 2025, the oil glut is projected to expand 65 percent above its last peak in 2020 as electric and hybrid vehicles reduce fuel consumption and oil demand flattens in China, as per the organization’s latest Commodity Markets Outlook.

The World Bank sees global energy prices falling sharply as a result.

Brent crude is forecast to slide from an average of US$68 per barrel in 2025 to US$60 in 2026, marking the lowest level in five years. Overall, energy prices are seen dropping by 12 percent this year and an additional 10 percent next year.

Despite the declines, commodities prices remain elevated compared to pre-pandemic levels. The World Bank estimates 2025 prices will still average 23 percent higher than in 2019, and 2026 levels about 14 percent above pre-COVID benchmarks, reflecting structural shifts such as climate impact, supply chain realignment and new industrial demand.

Food markets are also showing signs of easing. Global food prices are forecast to fall in 2025 and 2026, aided by improved harvests and lower shipping costs. However, fertilizer costs are expected to surge this year before easing in 2026, driven by high input prices and trade restrictions that could strain farm profitability and threaten crop yields.

Precious metals, by contrast, are defying the broader trend.

Gold and silver prices have reached record highs in 2025, primarily buoyed by central bank purchases, investor demand for safe-haven assets and ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty.

The gold price is expected to rise 42 percent this year and another 5 percent in 2026, nearly doubling its 2015 to 2019 average. Meanwhile, silver is projected to increase 34 percent this year and 8 percent next year.

While the downturn in energy prices, as well as lower prices for commodities like wheat and rice, is providing some relief to inflation-hit economies, the World Bank warns the decline may be temporary.

“Commodity markets are helping to stabilize the global economy,” said Indermit Gill, the World Bank Group’s chief economist and senior vice president for development economics, in a Wednesday (October 29) release. “Falling energy prices have contributed to the decline in global consumer-price inflation. But this respite will not last. Governments should use it to get their fiscal house in order, make economies business-ready, and accelerate trade and investment.”

The report also notes that the commodities outlook remains vulnerable to shifting global conditions. Prolonged trade disputes, sluggish economic growth or an unexpected surge in OPEC+ oil supply could drag prices further down. Conversely, heightened geopolitical tensions, new sanctions or severe climate disruptions could drive them back up.

Beyond short-term price dynamics, the report’s ‘special focus’ section for this year examines whether renewed global interest in managing supply and demand through commodities pacts could stabilize markets.

Drawing on a century of experience with international commodities agreements (ICAs), the World Bank found that most efforts like this ultimately failed. In the 20th century, producer and consumer nations attempted to stabilize prices through mechanisms involving inventory controls, trade quotas and price-setting schemes for commodities.

While some early efforts achieved temporary price stability, most collapsed due to weak coordination and changing demand patterns. Even the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) — the longest-lasting such arrangement — has faced increasing challenges from new energy sources and shifting consumer behavior.

“OPEC’s longevity stands out among other ICAs,” the report states, noting that its survival has depended on its ability to adjust production quotas, expand alliances through OPEC+ and engage with consumer nations through dialogue.

Still, the World Bank cautions that OPEC faces growing headwinds from the global transition toward cleaner energy, which could usher in a period of stagnant or declining oil demand.

Nickel Price Update: Q3 2025 in Review

Investing 5 Mins Read

Nickel prices were volatile in the first half of 2025, but fell flat in Q3 amid ongoing oversupply concerns.

The market has also faced considerable uncertainty as the US adjusts its trade and spending policies, with headwinds coming from the end of the electric vehicle (EV) tax credit and a grinding tariff dispute with China.

These potential weak spots in market demand have come alongside an oversupplied market, and despite a 35 percent reduction in Indonesia’s output quota, supply and demand remain out of balance.

What happened to the nickel price in Q3?

As mentioned, nickel prices were volatile in H1, hitting a year-to-date high of US$16,720 per metric ton (MT) on March 12 before collapsing to a year-to-date low of US$14,150 on April 8.

By the start of the third quarter, prices had stabilized, reaching US$15,190 on July 1. Amid price fluctuations, nickel rose to a quarterly high of US$15,575 on July 23, then fell to a quarterly low of US$14,950 on July 31.

For the rest of the period, nickel prices were largely rangebound between US$15,000 and US$15,500, falling outside that range only once, when they dipped to US$14,950 on August 21.

Nickel price, April 1 to July 24, 2025.

Chart via London Metal Exchange.

Structural oversupply hindering nickel market

“The issue facing the nickel market is not weak demand; consumption is rising at a solid rate. The issue is rapid production growth, driven mostly by Indonesia. This has resulted in a structurally oversupplied market, which in turn is pressuring the London Metal Exchange (LME) nickel price,” he said.

Behind the stagnant price movements, the LME’s own data shows rising nickel stockpiles.

Across all warehouses, the LME hosted 164,028 MT of nickel at the start of the year; by the end of the first half, the amount had risen to 203,886 MT. The most recent data shows that the upward trend continued through the third quarter, with LME nickel stockpiles reaching 231,504 MT on September 30.

While demand is growing, it’s not enough to counter the flood of nickel entering the market. Furthermore, demand for nickel has been hindered by the end of the EV tax credit in the US on September 30, which has raised the cost of new vehicles for buyers and could impact the future uptake of new EVs in the US.

As S&P Global reported on October 15, this situation caused consumers to buy EVs before the deadline, resulting in a short-term spike in demand. However, the news outlet notes that US market stagnation may be offset by rising demand in domestic Chinese markets, which appeared to return to normal levels at the end of Q3.

While that may be good news for EVs, nickel won’t necessarily benefit as producers are shifting toward lithium-iron phosphate batteries. S&P Global notes that the change has caused nickel-manganese-cobalt batteries to lose 2 percentage points of market share year-on-year, accounting for 22 percent of the EV battery market.

However, the biggest issue weighing on nickel prices is supply, which Indonesia currently dominates. During Q3, the country experienced civil unrest stemming from a cost-of-living crisis. Even though the protests had no direct impact on nickel output, Masson suggested they could be an additional tailwind for Indonesia’s mining industry.

The country slashed nickel ore output earlier in the year to 200 million MT from 215 million MT in 2024. The move served to stabilize prices around the US$15,000 mark, but so far has done little else to improve the market.

As an additional measure to exert greater control over output levels and support prices, Indonesia reduced the duration of approved output quotas to one year. The policy change, which came into effect on October 3, requires producers who had been granted longer-term licenses to apply for 2026 quotas between October 1 and November 15, 2025.

In April, Indonesia implemented a new royalty scheme that adjusted royalty rates for nickel ore from a fixed 10 percent to 14 to 19 percent, the nickel matte rate from 2 percent to 3.5 to 5.5 percent, and the nickel pig iron rate from 5 percent to 5 to 7 percent. Nickel miners have pushed back on the changes, suggesting they would put greater financial strain on mining businesses, which are already struggling with high costs and low cash flows.

Nickel price forecast for 2025

The price of the base metal should see some tailwinds as seasonal output declines amid the rainy season in the Philippines, reducing the amount of nickel entering the market.

However, this is a temporary cut, with the season running from early October to the first quarter of 2026.

From Masson’s perspective, he doesn’t see a meaningful change in price before the end of the year, noting that more needs to be done on the supply side to move the needle.

“For the nickel price to improve, there needs to be greater supply discipline to rebalance the market. It is hard to see how this can occur without Indonesia. One way supply discipline could occur is via the country’s mine quotas, which the government now sets annually. Rising royalty payments could also squeeze older, higher-cost producers in the country,” he said. He predicts prices will remain rangebound around the US$15,000 level unless supply growth slows.
