U.S. President Barack Obama's call for a "new approach" in Washington's relationship with Cuba, including the establishment of diplomatic relations and an easing of economic and travel restrictions, lifted the shares of Sherritt International (TSX: S), which has operated in the shunned island state for more than two decades.

The Toronto-based mining company is the largest independent energy producer in Cuba and its oil and gas business there accounted for 26%, or $219.7 million, of Sherritt's $858 million in adjusted revenue during the first nine months of 2014.
