Rob Cooke, Senior Vice President of the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE), shares exciting developments at one of the fastest-growing stock exchanges in the world during his appearance at The Mining Investment Event 2025.
Known for its deep support of junior mining and exploration companies, the CSE now hosts a majority of its issuers in the mining sector, outpacing competitors in new listings and IPOs for the past five years. The exchange has played a pivotal role in helping early-stage resource companies raise capital and reach public markets.
Now, the CSE is expanding internationally — launching a takeover bid to acquire the National Stock Exchange of Australia (NSX). This bold move aims to bring the CSE’s innovative and inclusive capital markets model to a region dominated by a large incumbent (ASX), creating more opportunity for junior issuers, investors, and the global mining sector.
Rob also reflects on the CSE’s 20-year journey, highlighting its disruptive beginnings as Canada’s first new stock exchange in 75 years and the principles that continue to drive its success.
