The Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) has revealed notable market statistics for September 2025, highlighting sustained trading activity and continued interest in various sectors. The trading volume for CSE-listed securities reached 1.6 billion shares, with a trading value totaling $633 million. During this period, CSE issuers successfully completed 92 financings, raising an impressive aggregate of $196 million. Additionally, the exchange welcomed three new companies, bringing the total number of listed securities to 742 by the end of September.
Richard Carleton, CEO of the CSE, remarked on the exchange’s strong performance, attributing the momentum largely to record-high gold prices, which have spurred increased investor interest in junior mining securities. He also noted a continued enthusiasm for other sectors, such as technology and life sciences, demonstrating a broad interest in emerging markets. Carleton expressed optimism regarding the forthcoming acquisition of the National Stock Exchange of Australia (NSXA), highlighting it as a strategic move to enhance the CSE’s competitive edge and benefit the global marketplace for emerging companies.
Looking ahead, the CSE is set to participate in significant events in Sydney, Australia, starting with “Bridging Australian and Canadian Capital Markets” on October 20. This exclusive event, co-hosted by the CSE and NSXA, will delve into the details of the NSXA acquisition and explore future collaborations while offering insights into the capital raising landscape for both Canadian and Australian markets. Carleton, along with NSXA Managing Director Max Cunningham, will provide valuable perspectives on market dynamics and opportunities for issuers and investors.
Subsequently, the CSE will be a key participant in the International Mining and Resources Conference + Expo (IMARC) scheduled for October 21-23. This prominent event is expected to draw over 10,500 registrants, 500 companies, and 450 speakers, focusing on crucial discussions within Australia’s mining sector. The CSE will also sponsor the “Mining for Beer” networking event during IMARC on October 22, further fostering connections within the industry.
Following these events, both Carleton and Anna Serin, the CSE’s Director of Listings Development for Western Canada/United States, plan to engage with stakeholders and promote the CSE and the NSXA acquisition in Sydney and Perth.
Additionally, the CSE is a returning sponsor of the Red Cloud Fall Mining Showcase, which will take place in Toronto on November 4-5. This conference, organized in partnership with PearTree, will feature presentations from various mining companies, including notable CSE issuers such as Ares Strategic Mining Inc., ESGold Corp., Foremost Clean Energy Ltd., Libra Energy Materials Inc., McFarlane Lake Mining Ltd., and Strathmore Plus Uranium Corp. The event promises numerous opportunities for networking, keynote addresses, and one-on-one meetings, further solidifying the CSE’s active role in the mining sector and capital markets.
