Stakeholder Gold Corp.
Stakeholder Gold Corp. (TSXV:SRC), which operates in the mining and exploration sector, faced significant losses today as well.

Draganfly Inc.
In the technology space, Draganfly Inc. (CSE:DPRO), a company known for its innovations in drone technology and services, also saw a decline in its stock price.

BriaCell Therapeutics Corp.
BriaCell Therapeutics (TSX:BCT), a company in the biotechnology space focused on cancer treatments, was another key stock to experience losses today. Despite progress in the medical field, the biotech sector often faces fluctuations due to regulatory factors, clinical trial developments, and market sentiment, all contributing to BriaCell’s drop in share price.
