On Wiki,
Mining companies of Canada lists companies by mineral and name - all companies are not in the names listing. E.g., Vale Limited (formerly INCO Ltd.), which is the only one of which I have any personal knowledge - that is, of the "old" INCO (pre-2000). Vale is a Brazilian company, which swallowed INCO in 2006. S&C (where I once ruminated) continued to represent Vale Inco - as it had represented Inco for decades (as also the Canadian government on US Law and I Law matters).
Leaving aside the mainline companies (such as "old" and "new" INCO), "Canadian Mining Companies" are a very mixed breed of cat - some are not necessarily companies registered in Canada for all operations; some are not public; and some are pure fantasies.

PS: Anvil Mining (subject of Stan's "innuendo link"), on Toronto Stock Exchange, is operational only in Zaire (DRC) - 16K tonnes in 2009; but has a large "indirect" interest in Kinsevere Stage II, a 60,000 tpa project. Management looks Aussie.
My grandfather McCarthy (who started in our local copper mines) was always willing to blow a $100 or so on 100 or more "penny" ($1.00 or less per share) Canadian mining shares. I wish I had all the certificates - not that they'd be worth anything (except possibly to collectors); but what a great wall display !
