Athabasca Oil Corporation (ATH.TO) rallied 8%. Tamarack Valley Energy (TVE.TO), MEG Energy (MEG.TO), Whitecap Resources (WCP.TO), Crescent Point Energy (CPG.TO) and Baytex Energy (BTE.TO) gained 4.5 to 6%.

Lundin Mining (LUN.TO), Cenovus Energy (CVE.TO), Suncor Energy (SU.TO) and Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ.TO) also posted notable gains.

Dye & Durham (DND.TO) soared 17.3%. Vermilion Energy (VET.TO) surged 10.1%. Cameco Corporation (CCO.TO), Methanex Corporation (MX.TO), CargoJet (CJT.TO), Sprott (SII.TO), Aritzia Inc (ATZ.TO) and Imperial Oil (IMO.TO) gained 3 to 5%.
