Perennial performers Telus Corp.
and Lululemon Athletica both stumbled
operationally in 2024, though they still
managed to eke out higher revenues.
Forest giants like West Fraser Timber and
Canfor Corp. continued to suffer through
a cyclical downturn. There's no obvious
cohort of rising stars ready to take Team
B.C. to the next level.
One possible exception was gold miners.
Thanks to the yellow metal's steady climb
toward US$3,000 an ounce amid growing
geopolitical uncertainty, precious metals
mining, exploration and royalty streaming
companies leapfrogged up the list. They
were led by Pan American Silver (with a 23
percent revenue gain), Equinox Gold Corp.
(39.5 percent), Eldorado Gold Corp. (33.1
percent), Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.
(28.3 percent), Lundin Gold (34.1 percent),
Fortuna Mining Corp. (27.9 percent), China
Gold International Resources Corp. (67.1
percent), K92 Mining (77.7 percent) and
Orla Mining (49.4 percent). Wheaton,
meanwhile, surged to the top of our list
of B.C.'s 10 biggest companies by market
capitalization (page 31), with a market value
exceeding $50 billion.
Other notable growth stories, all with
revenue gains of 40 percent or more,
included Anthem Properties, Imperial
