Trevali Mining Corp. (TSX:TV). Up two cents or 3.2 per cent to 65 cents. Trevali Mining Corp. says none of the eight workers missing since the Perkoa Mine in Burkina Faso flooded a month ago were able to reach an underground refuge chamber. The company says rescue workers, who have been working 24 hours a day to dewater the mine, reached the refuge 570 metres below ground but found it intact with no one inside. Trevali CEO Ricus Grimbeek called it devastating news. The company says search crews will continue to work at maximum capacity until the missing individuals are recovered. There has been no communication with the eight missing workers since the mine was flooded after heavy rainfall in the region on April 16. The company has said it is working closely with authorities as it investigates the cause of the flooding.
Restaurant Brands International (TSX:QSR). Up 21 cents to $66.71. A match made in marketing heaven between Tim Hortons and Justin Bieber is back with a new French vanilla-flavoured chilled coffee. Biebs Brew is the pop star's rendition of the coffee chain's cold brew coffee launched last year. Tim Hortons said the beverage is inspired by his "slight sweet tooth" and "love for hints of delicious vanilla flavouring in his coffee." The coffee is cold steeped for 16 hours to enhance the flavour, while the French vanilla syrup gives it a sweet and creamy taste, the company said. Biebs Brew will be released next month alongside a limited-edition, stainless steel tumbler co-created by the Canadian performer. Avni Shah, assistant professor of marketing at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management, said collaborations with celebrities with large social media followers are more efficient and productive than traditional advertising. The latest product collaboration comes after the meteoric success of the first phase of the celebrity endorsement deal last November.
