K2 Gold Corporation Secures Place Among TSX Venture Exchange’s Top 50 Performers
K2 Gold Corporation (TSXV: KTO, OTCQB: KTGDF, FSE: 23K) was named one of the Top 50 companies on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV) for the year 2025.

1. Performance Metrics that Earned the Spot

|---|---|
| Share‑price appreciation | +515 % |
| Market‑capitalization growth | +847 % |
| Canadian consolidated trading value (as of Dec 31, 2025) | – |

2. Context within the Broader TSXV Landscape
The 2026 TSXV Top 50 list, unveiled on February 18, 2026, showcases the strongest performers among more than 1,600 issuers. Collectively, the cohort’s market capitalizations exceeded $21.5 billion, an unprecedented $17.9 billion increase over 2025.
