CANADIAN SECURITIES EXCHANGE REPORTS NOVEMBER 2025 PERFORMANCE FIGURES

The Canadian Securities Exchange has released market statistics for November, 2025.

November, 2025, operating statistics

• Trading volume of CSE-listed securities totalled 1.3 billion shares;
• Trading value of CSE-listed securities was $507-million;
• CSE issuers completed 101 financings that raised an aggregate $172-million;
• The CSE welcomed listings from four new companies, including one fundamental change of an existing issuer, bringing total listed securities to 742 as at Nov. 30, 2025.

"We are pleased to see continued solid investor interest in CSE securities, driven in part by near-record gold prices," said Richard Carleton, chief executive officer of the CSE. "At the same time, we are attracting new listings from innovative companies across a broad range of industry sectors. The month of November featured new listings from a mining company that joined us from another Canadian exchange, a sustainability-oriented crypto company, a technology company focused on data capture and a biotech company developing unique drug-delivery technologies."

What is on at the CSE

The CSE team looks forward to returning to the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference (VRIC) taking place on Jan. 25 to Jan. 26, 2026. The annual conference, presented by Cambridge House International, features approximately 120 keynote speakers and 300 exhibiting mining companies, including many CSE-listed firms. With gold prices above $4,000 (U.S.) an ounce and financing conditions improving, the atmosphere this year is anticipated to be highly positive. Attendees are invited to visit the CSE at booth No. 612 on the conference floor.
