Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly look at the best-performing Canadian mining stocks on the TSX, TSXV and CSE, starting with a round-up of Canadian news impacting the resource sector.On September 18, the Ontario government announced it would commit to a C$11 million non-binding term sheet toward developing a processing facility at Generation Mining's (TSX:GENM,OTCQB:GENMF) Marathon copper and palladium project located in the province’s northwest.The loan comes from Ontario’s C$500 million Critical Minerals Processing Fund, which was established in December 2025 to provide strategic financial support to drive new critical mineral developments. The Marathon project is fully permitted and is expected to cost C$992 million in total capital. Once completed, Marathon is expected to generate 350 direct mining jobs.On Monday (September 21), Statistics Canada released July’s mineral production survey. The data shows an uptick in copper production, but decreases in gold and silver. Shipments were down across the board for all three metals. Recoverable copper production rose 2.3 percent to 44.39 million kilograms, while gold production slipped 12.82 percent to 17,231 kilograms.

Gold miners have rarely looked this good on paper. They are posting some of the widest profit margins in the equities market and trading at some of the lowest valuations in decades, yet generalist investors are still sitting it out.The contrast with the broader market is stark. The S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) is trading near historic market tops, while miners generate strong cashflow, carry low debt and pay dividends, yet make up roughly 2 percent of global equity markets.History suggests that gap won't hold forever. Specialists dominate mining stocks in today's cycle, but the sector's biggest rallies have come when generalists, in the form of pension funds and retail investors, piled in alongside them. It happened toward the end of the boom in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and again in the early 2010s. In those cycles, mainstream attention turned to gold and precious metals first, then shifted to an investment surge in equities.Whether that shift is coming, and what it means for investors, was the subject of a presentation by Jeff Clark of Paydirt Prospector at the September Metals Investor Forum in Vancouver. Clark has tracked equities through multiple cycles and was focused on whether it was the right time for generalist investors to get off the sidelines. Why investors should look at mining stocks Clark made the case for generalist interest rooted in a profitability and valuation gap that has developed between mining stocks and the broader market. Comparing margins, free cashflow and dividends, he showed mining companies outpacing S&P averages in each category.He noted that free cashflow per share among miners has grown tenfold since 2020, while earnings yield sits at 12 percent, the highest of any sector. Meanwhile, mining holds the smallest share of global equity markets in 55 years. This suggests the broader market is vulnerable, with 51 percent of S&P companies trading at 10 times sales, compared to the long-term average of just 1.8 times sales, he explained. In terms of market caps, he said the top 50 gold miners combined are smaller than NVIDIA's (NASDAQ:NVDA) US$5 trillion valuation. “That market is extremely vulnerable, and this kind of hints at when and why the general market will come into our sector,” he said. “It shows how small our market is and how vulnerable the general market is.”Clark suggests that, with the mining sector remaining as undervalued as it is, it won’t take much for the market to gain momentum and stock prices to increase.“This is the smallest level, the smallest percentage in 55 years, even pre-1980. So when they start crowding in, there could be a lot of buying, a lot of demand for stock,” he said. youtu.be - YouTubeAhead of his presentation at the Metals Investor Forum, Clark stopped by the Investing News Network's headquarters in Vancouver to discuss his current investment strategy, his upcoming conference and where he sees the market heading. Watch the full interview above. Gold fundamentals are there, but equities have yet to catch up Central bank demand is underpinning today's cycle, and it’s expected to continue. In June, the World Gold Council released its 2026 Central Bank Gold Reserves Survey, which states that central banks have added an annual average of 1,000 metric tons of gold to reserves over the past four years, and that 89 percent are forecasting increases to global central bank reserves over the next year. The People’s Bank of China has been among the top buyers, purchasing gold for 22 consecutive months, including 20 metric tons in August.Central banks have seen a broad shift toward gold as uncertainty has grown around the US dollar and, by extension, US Treasuries, which have been the de facto currency reserves for most of the past 50 years. More central banks have built up gold stockpiles to diversify reserves and reduce exposure to counterparty and sanctions risk.That demand has helped push the gold price substantially higher in recent years. Equities, however, have not kept pace, a gap Clark was keen to highlight. At present, the miners-to-gold ratio sits below where it was in 2016, and only recently returned to where it was during the Covid pandemic in 2020. “As a group, gold stocks relative to the gold price have basically gone nowhere,” he said. A comparison against Nasdaq Composite (INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) tells a similar story. The gold price relative to the Nasdaq peaked in 2011, but currently sits near all-time lows. Clark suggests the ratio will need to change by a factor of four to get back on equal footing, and that could come from a decline in the Nasdaq alongside a rise in the gold price.Likewise, the ratio with Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI) is near lows and far from the peaks in 1980 and during the Great Depression, when they were near parity. While he didn’t say they would reach those same levels again, Clark noted clear potential for gold to move higher and narrow the gap.“We are no higher as a group now than we were during the Covid rebound. We’ve got a long way up to go,” he said. ​What investors should watch Clark’s data largely focused on the majors and how producers with free cashflow and strong margins compare to equities in the major indices.Most junior and exploration-stage companies have little to no free cashflow and rely on equity financing, which carries dilution risk. Generalist investment is likely to target the larger companies that present the best economics. Likewise, proven exchange-traded funds will likely benefit from more retail-focused money entering the sector. Historically, as gold has performed, money has tended to trickle down to developers and explorers later in the cycle as higher commodity prices start to support the economics of restarting stalled projects and majors look to refill their development pipelines. While strong fundamentals support an elevated gold price, a pullback could also undercut Clark’s thesis, as lower gold prices would hurt margins. However, he also noted that significant generalist capital was sitting on the sidelines. “I wanted to know just how much cash is on the sidelines that could come into our sector, so I found that global cash is US$8.5 trillion as of the end of (August),” Clark said. It doesn’t mean all this money will pour into mining equities immediately, but it highlights potential capital sitting on the sidelines, despite strong fundamentals that underpin cashflow from gold producers.

Canadian explorer Grafton Resources (CSE:GFT,OTCQB:GFTFF) secured an exclusive option to acquire the Poseidon and Jabali gold projects in Chile from Newmont (NYSE:NEM,ASX:NEM), consolidating a district-scale exploration package in the Andean mineral belt.Under the September 21 agreement, Grafton gains the right to take 100 percent ownership of both properties through its local subsidiary. The acquisition physically connects the Poseidon project in Chile’s V Region to Grafton’s existing Alicahue asset, forming a contiguous 14,383-hectare concession block.Newmont’s prior exploration at Poseidon established a clear continuity of vein trends and left a pipeline of untested drill targets. A surface program of 2,350 rock chip samples returned grades up to 234 grams per ton of gold and 1,500 grams per ton of silver. Geological mapping and a 2024 structural report also identified a 15-kilometer strike length of potential gold-bearing veins tied to the regional Pocuro Fault Zone. Consolidated data points to widespread epithermal gold-silver-copper mineralization across the unified Alicahue-Poseidon district.The transaction also delivers the Jabali gold project in Chile's XI Region. The property remains completely undrilled, though Newmont previously completed the necessary drill preparation infrastructure.“I am extremely excited to announce a pivotal transaction for Grafton that gives the Company access to an exceptional exploration portfolio," Chairman and CEO Campbell Smyth said in the announcement. "Poseidon and Alicahue together represent an identified by Grafton epithermal vein cluster with gold-silver-copper mineralization potential. Jabali has identified potential high sulfidation mineralization that can be tested quickly. We look forward to moving quickly on work programs on both assets.”For Denver-based Newmont, the divestment continues its ongoing corporate restructuring. In August, the company settled a joint-venture dispute with Barrick Mining (TSX:ABX,NYSE:B), agreeing to a US$1.95 billion truce.Newmont consented to Barrick's planned North American initial public offering in exchange for the cash payment and Barrick's agreement to contribute its Fourmile gold project into the Nevada Gold Mines joint venture.The company meanwhile reported US$2.2 billion in second-quarter free cash flow, US$2.2 billion in adjusted net income, and US$3.8 billion in adjusted EBITDA, alongside 1.29 million attributable ounces of gold produced during the quarter.Don’t forget to follow us @INN_Resource for real-time news updates!Securities Disclosure: I, Giann Liguid, hold no direct investment interest in any company mentioned in this article.

"Big Short” investor Michael Burry is avoiding the technology sector’s AI trade, instead deploying capital into other ventures.In a September 22 Substack update, Burry disclosed new positions in Brazilian copper miner Ero Copper (TSX:ERO), building-products firm QXO (NYSE:QXO), Australian furniture retailer Temple & Webster (ASX:TPW), Sprouts Farmers Market (NASDAQ:SFM), and animal health company Zoetis (NYSE:ZTS)."The house party is packed, pushing AI higher today, but I am largely ignoring the 'woo-hoos,'" Burry wrote.Just last month, Burry publicly compared the relentless positivity surrounding AI infrastructure investments to the dot-com era and the mid-2000s housing bubble, warning that the current environment is "orders of magnitude more dangerous to the economy and investors than Enron.""That is how it felt in May of 2007 when the Fed Chair was saying there would be no contagion or a couple years earlier when he said there is no such thing as a housing bubble,” Burry told Business Insider.Rather than shorting the technology directly, Burry’s largest disclosed new conviction is an indirect play on AI infrastructure demand through Ero Copper."All those back at the house are going to be needing a lot of copper," Burry stated, calling his stake in the higher-cost producer a mid-sized position. "Ero common does it for me."While COMEX copper recently settled at US$6.6865 per pound, up 46 percent over the past 12 months, Burry is relying on a looming structural deficit. He noted that major copper discoveries containing at least 500,000 tons have evaporated from double-digit annual totals in the 1990s to zero in 2025. Since new deposits require up to 18 years to reach production, Burry anticipates that surging demand from data centers will trigger extreme price expansion before new supply materializes. Notably, Ero Copper maintained its 2026 production guidance of 67,500 to 77,500 tons.Burry also acquired common shares and 5.5 percent Series B mandatory convertible preferred stock in QXO. The company is executing a roll-up strategy in the highly fragmented building-products distribution market under Brad Jacobs, the founder of United Rentals and XPO.The remainder of Burry's disclosed purchases targeted severely punished equities, accumulating a "fairly large position" in Temple & Webster which plummeted 82 percent over the past year following a 62 percent collapse in fiscal 2026 net income, alongside Sprouts Farmers Market, down 43 percent year-over-year, and animal-drug maker Zoetis (NYSE:ZTS), which has lost half its market value.Don’t forget to follow us @INN_Resource for real-time news updates!Securities Disclosure: I, Giann Liguid, hold no direct investment interest in any company mentioned in this article.

Only companies trading on the ASX with market capitalisations greater than AU$10 million are included. Mineral companies within the non-energy minerals, energy minerals, process industry and producer manufacturing sectors were considered. 1. Arrow Minerals (ASX:AMD) Weekly gain: 77.27 percent Market cap: AU$50.95 million Share price: AU$0.039Arrow Minerals is an exploration company with copper, iron and bauxite projects in Western Australia and Guinea.Its Yarraloola copper project is located in the West Pilbara region of Western Australia. Mineralisation at the site was first identified in 1907, and the site hosts historic copper mine operations.On September 17, Arrow announced that it secured an application for a new iron ore tenement adjoining its Yarraloola tenements, and adjacent to the Robe River operation, owned by a 53/33/14 joint venture of Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO,NYSE:RIO,LSE:RIO), Mitsui & Co. (TSE:8031,OTCPL:MITSF) and Nippon Steel (TSE:5401) .At its closest point, the new property is located just 2 kilometres from the open-pit mine at Robe River, which produces between 20 million and 23 million tonnes per year. The acquisition will increase Arrow’s landholdings by 30 percent to 415 square kilometres.“Our team is well aware of the tonnage and cash flow generating potential of channel iron deposits, such as those in this part of the Pilbara,” Managing Director David Flanagan said. “As proven by Rio, they often have very favourable deposit geometry and low impurities, meaning they can be low-cost, high-profit operations. Our team knows this because we have mined them in the past.”This marks the second week in a row that Arrow was on the top gainers list. While it did not release any project-related news during the week, on Thursday (September 24) the company requested a trading halt on the ASX in response to a price query by the exchange after the company's share price spiked during trading that day.
