BY THE NUMBERS: How many projects are owned by Canadian mining companies?

From our friends at PricewaterhouseCoopers in a recent issue of "PwC Capital Markets Flash: Last One Standing?" come some interesting numbers:

9,500: number of mining projects held by companies listed on the TSX and TSX-V

50%: percentage of projects that are outside of Canada

60%: percentage of the world's mining equity capital raised on the TSX and TSX-V

#1: global rank of TSX for number of mining and energy companies publicly traded
