Perspectives on Mining and M&A
Our latest M&A Quarterly highlights mining as one of Canada’s most active sectors in 2025, with deal value up 220% despite fewer transactions. Alongside utilities and energy, mining contributed to a combined US$195.48 billion in Canadian deal activity.
Gold was a major driver, with Canadian deal value more than tripling and eight transactions over US$1 billion, compared with one in 2024. Globally, metals and mining M&A rose 61%, including 139% growth in North America. Mining also led Canada’s mid‑market, generating US$10.58 billion in transactions, 54% of which involved gold. These figures highlight strong investor focus on critical minerals, precious metals and resource‑linked infrastructure as we begin 2026.
