Wimbledon seems to be less of a distraction to the Canadian resource financing market than the Stanley Cup. Tuesday saw another relatively strong day in comparison to May and the rest of June.

On Tuesday there were six deal openings with expected proceeds of $59.5 million, one updated deal, and $30.3 million raised in the four deals that closed. In addition, Unitech Energy Resources closed a $5.5 million deal on Monday after market close.
