Most Canadian gold miners moved higher today, although Lundin Mining Corp. (LUN) was a laggard with a 25-cent decline to $15.47 on 2.4 million shares. Among those gaining altitude was SSR Mining Inc. (SSRM), which rose 37 cents to $7.56 on 511,000 shares, and Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (WPM), which added $3.61 to $84.96 on 1.16 million shares.

(AU) fell two cents to 57 cents on 376,000 shares on word it has arranged the sale of 9.09 million shares at 55 cents, seeking $5-million in new cash -- $6-million if the agents exercise their greenshoe option.
