Boreal Data - A Ground Truth for Mining in Canada

June 2026 Raw Data

About This Data

This post provides a raw, monthly snapshot of pressures facing the Canadian mining sector. We track the market performance of key mining producers alongside equities in critical supply sectors—steel, energy, and power generation—to offer a neutral, ground-level view of industry dynamics. The data is compiled from Monday to Friday and published at the start of the following month.

Why These Metrics?

Input Sector Equities: Values serve as a market-based indicators for steel, fuel, and electricity costs critical to mining operations.
Sector Support: Equipment & industrial suppliers provide insight into capital expenditure and the operational health of the mining sector.
Producer Equities: The stock performance of major miners shows market valuation against these underlying input sector pressures.
Commodity Markets: Spot prices for metals reflect global demand and the revenue potential for mining operations.
Macro-Financial: The exchange rate between the Canadian and U.S. dollar is critical, as it directly impacts the revenue of Canadian mining companies, which typically sell their products in USD.

Monthly mining insights

Mining Stocks: May 2026

So, how did the heavy hitters of the mining sector do in May 2026?

Let’s see… Barrick, Teck, HudBay, and Agnico—all captured weekdays at 4 p.m. ET, priced in Canadian dollars. You’ll probably notice a ghost town on the 18th. Victoria Day long weekend. The markets took a breather. As for the month itself? It had a definite rhythm. A strong push early on, a bit of a mid-month wobble, and then a scramble to recover as we headed into the summer.

Barrick Gold

Barrick opened May at $52.75. It didn’t take long to heat up, climbing steadily to hit a monthly high of $64.40 on the 11th. That peak didn’t stick around, though. The price drifted back down into the mid-$50s by the 19th. It tried to rally after that, closing out the month at $58.90 on the 29th.

Teck Resources

Teck started at $79.04 and showed some real strength in the first half, pushing up to $91.80 by the 13th. Then came the pullback. It slipped down to $81.50 on the 19th. But Teck found its legs again in the final week, making a solid run back up to close at $91.19.

HudBay Minerals

HudBay had an interesting finish. It opened the month at $31.02 and climbed to $38.07 on the 13th. After the mid-month dip—which brought it down to $32.89 on the 19th—the stock really caught a bid. It surged in the final days, hitting its monthly high of $40.31 right on the 29th.

Agnico Eagle

Agnico followed the familiar pattern. Opening at $249.67, it peaked early at $270.23 on the 12th. The middle of the month wasn’t kind, with the price dropping to $238.35 on the 19th. It managed to claw some of that back, ending May at $253.48.

The Raw Data

That’s the story for May. A lot of ups and downs, but some strong finishes to close it out. For the daily breakdown, check out the full raw data post.
