Calibre Mining Corp (CXB.TO) climbed 9.5% after the company reported record gold production in the fourth quarter or 2024.

Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc (ATD.TO) gained 2.5% following a rating upgrade to "Outperform" by National Bank of Canada.

GFL Environmental (GFL.TO), Canadian Tire Corporation (CTC.TO), Torex Gold Resources (TXG.TO), Keyera Corp (KEY.TO) and Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM.TO) were among the other major gainers in the session.
