Sources available to offer insight on Q1 Canadian mining and metals trends
VANCOUVER, June 11, 2013 /CNW/ - Ernst & Young's latest quarterly Canadian Mining Eye index shows Canadian mining equities continued to significantly underperform in the first quarter of the year given concerns around global economic growth and, as a result, commodity prices.
The index — which tracks Canadian mining sector performance of 100 TSX and TSXV mid-tier and junior companies with market capitalizations broadly falling between $2.5b and $250m. — plunged deeper and closed 13% down in Q1 2013, and 33% down in the past 12 months.
