Best Mining Stocks Worth Watching – January 26th

USA Rare Earth, IREN, Freeport-McMoRan, MP Materials, and Newmont are the five Mining stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. Mining stocks are shares in companies that explore for, extract, and process natural resources—such as gold, copper, iron ore, coal, and other minerals. Investors use them to gain exposure to commodity prices and supply dynamics, but they carry added risks from operational costs, exploration outcomes, regulatory and environmental issues, and can be more volatile than broader-market stocks. They range from large, diversified producers (majors) to smaller exploration-focused firms (juniors), which have different risk-return profiles. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Mining stocks within the last several days.
