Top 10 Largest Gaining Mining/Metals/Materials Stocks of 2026 YTD

NIA has just posted a display highlighting the Top 10 largest gaining mining/metals/materials stocks of 2026 year-to-date.

NIA’s QI Materials (CSE: QIMC) is the #1 largest gaining mining/metals/materials stock of 2026 year-to-date. As the first mover in the brand-new rapidly emerging natural hydrogen space… QIMC is just getting started!

The #2 largest gainer San Lorenzo Gold (TSXV: SLG) is similar to our recent stock suggestion Super Copper (CSE: CUPR). SLG has only drilled a few holes at its Chile project but because they are widely spaced and each intercepted gold/copper, SLG has seen one of the largest reratings in the market. With CUPR having just raised $9.75M at $0.75 per share, its maiden drilling program in Chile will begin in the near-future… and it has potential for a similar rerating. CUPR’s #1 largest shareholder Apeiron Investment Group is backed by two billionaires: Christian Angermayer and Peter Thiel. CUPR’s CEO has been consistently buying big in the open market.

The #8 largest gainer Gold X2 Mining (TSXV: AUXX) was formerly known as Goldshore (TSXV: GSHR). One year ago, NIA sent out an alert highlighting how GSHR and Augusta Gold (TSX: G) were the two gold stocks with the most insider buying. NIA predicted that major gold miners like AngloGold Ashanti (AU) would be interested in both companies. Not only did AU acquire Augusta Gold (TSX: G) at a huge premium, but AU in January made a huge investment into AUXX (formerly Goldshore).
