Happy New Year! New York spot gold began 2026 with a gain of $14.10, reaching $4,331.74 at the afternoon pause. The TSX Venture Exchange added 5.17 points to 992.91, while the TSX gold index added 0.65 point to 818.06. Most Canadian gold miners moved lower today. Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (ASM) fell 43 cents to $8.11 on 1.71 million shares. Minera Alamos Inc. (MAI) was busy on its last day before a 1:10 rollback kicks in, as it lost one cent to 51 cents on 8.42 million shares.

John MacKenzie and Cashel Meagher's Capstone Copper Corp. (CS) fell 21 cents to $13.57 on 10.62 million shares on word of a strike at its Mantoverde copper and gold mine in Chile. Nearly one-quarter of the workers hit the bricks today after negotiations failed to achieve a settlement. The mine, say Mr. MacKenzie, chairman, and Mr. Meagher, president and chief executive officer, will carry on at about 30 per cent of normal production. There are four unions representing workers at the mine, and Capstone was able to negotiate deals with the other three last year.
