Mining Stocks To Consider – February 24th

Caterpillar, IREN, Freeport-McMoRan, Cipher Mining, and Newmont are the five Mining stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. Mining stocks are shares of publicly traded companies that explore for, extract and process mineral resources — for example gold, silver, copper, iron ore, coal and other metals and commodities. For investors they offer leveraged exposure to commodity prices and carry sector-specific risks such as geological and operational uncertainty, high capital intensity, and geopolitical/regulatory sensitivity, while sometimes providing significant upside or dividends when producers generate strong cash flow. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Mining stocks within the last several days.
