Gold & Silver Miners Sell Stock at Fastest Pace in Over a Decade

Gold and silver mining companies raised more than $6.2 billion through share sales in 2025, marking the highest annual equity fundraising by miners in over 12 years as metal prices remain strong and investor demand rises.

🔹 $6.2B+ raised in 2025 by miners listed in the U.S. and Canada — the most in at least a decade.

🔹 Small and mid-cap miners led the fundraising surge, while major producers used strong cash flows to buy back shares instead of issuing new ones.

🔹 Notable raises included Hemlo Mining (C$490 M), Perpetua Resources ($374 M), and Novagold (~$206 M).

🔹 Analysts expect continued strong equity activity in 2026 as junior miners seek capital to fund exploration and growth.

Why This Matters:
📈 The surge in stock issuance by miners reflects bullish investor sentiment toward gold and silver. Even though big producers are not issuing shares, junior and mid-tier companies are capitalizing on high valuations to finance project development and expansion.

This pattern — small miners tapping markets while large ones buy back stock — suggests capital discipline among majors and strong risk appetite among investors for exposure to the precious metals cycle.
