Public Ownership

Stock Exchange

Public ownership means that private individuals can share in the ownership of an enterprise, whose shares are quoted on a recognised stock exchange.

Publicly owned precious metals enterprises are identified with a single (primary) stock exchange, in order to avoid double counting. The primary exchange is chosen as either: the largest mining exchange (often Toronto) or the primary exchange in the country most closely associated with that company.

In the unusual event that constituent companies move from one exchange to another, figures are re-stated, based on the current exchange (see notes below).

The table below shows production ounces by stock exchange (listed largest to smallest for gold and silver separately):

All tables can easily be downloaded or exported to Excel.

Note (1): Companies listed on the Toronto TSX Venture Exchange are shown separately to those on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Note (2) Polymetal is the only precious metal company on the Astana International Exchange (AIX). Polymetal was previously listed in London and has been restated.
