Canada’s main stock index edged higher by 0.22 per cent to 19,062.85 for the fifth day consecutively on Thursday, July 21, largely supported by the rally in TSX mining stocks

Pan American Silver (TSX:PAAS), Lithium Americas (TSX:LAC), and K92 Mining (TSX: KNT) were among the top gainers, and the list also included Osisko Mining (TSX:OSK) and Silvercrest (TSX:SIL).

As rate hike pressure prevails with inflation reaching 8.1 per cent in June (as per Statistics Canada), precious metal and mining stocks could garner some interest among investors. So, let us discuss these five mining stocks in detail and assess their financial and stock performance.
