TSXV Research breaks down companies in the following sectors: Mining, Energy, Clean Technology, Life Sciences, Technology, and Diversified Industries
Sectors
Mining
Canada has a world class mining sector that is very active and prolific. It is the largest sector on this exchange, and also the most interesting to some. As global consumption demand continues to increase, the requirement for new metals/mineral deposit to discover and extract becomes a vital necessity. Here you will find the junior mining/exploration stage companies doing exactly that. By finding the right properties, drilling holes and analyzing the results, they aim to find and extract an untapped deposit.
Energy
This sector consists of oil and gas exploration and producing companies, as well as “energy services”. A vital sector: as junior energy companies grow to be larger producers, they add to the supply and feed the growing energy appetite of the world. Canada having significant deposits of oil makes this sector an even more attractive investment.
Technology
A fascinating sector devoted to the research, development, and distribution of technology based products. Software, IT, Hardware, and Communication technology are just some of the types of companies you will encounter here. Technology has positively impacted all our lives, and here you will find the new ventures looking to contribute further to that trend.
Clean Technology
This sector, although less popular than mining and energy, is just as important! Here you will find companies researching and developing technology that helps reduce our carbon footprint, usage of natural resources, and helps harness renewable technology. It is the free market’s approach to improving energy efficiency, reducing waste, and preserving the environment in a world where consumption and energy demands continue to rise.
Life Science
A focus on health and medicine. Here you will find companies developing biotechnology, diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, as well as other industry requirements. An important sector, as our lifestyles become more sedentary, and life expectancy continues to increase, the demand for this industry will continue to rise.
Diversed Industries
Anything that doesn’t fit our prior categories, such as consumer and industrial products and services, financial services, communications and media, forest products, real estate, utilities and pipelines.
