Key Points

  • MarketBeat names seven mining stocks to watch today: IREN, Caterpillar (CAT), Newmont (NEM), Barrick Gold (B), TeraWulf (WULF), Cipher Mining (CIFR) and MP Materials (MP).
  • The picks were based on having the highest dollar trading volume among mining stocks recently; mining stocks provide direct commodity exposure but carry high volatility and operational, geopolitical and regulatory risk.
  • The group spans traditional and specialty miners — for example, IREN operates bitcoin mining data centers while MP Materials produces rare-earths at the Mountain Pass facility.
  • MarketBeat previews the top five stocks to own by May 1st.

IREN, Caterpillar, Newmont, Barrick Mining, TeraWulf, Cipher Mining, and MP Materials are the seven Mining stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Mining stocks are shares of companies engaged in the exploration, extraction, processing and sale of minerals and metals (such as gold, copper, coal, and lithium). They give investors direct exposure to commodity prices and carry distinctive risks and rewards—including high volatility, operational and geopolitical/regulatory risk, and potential for large gains or losses depending on resource discoveries and market cycles. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Mining stocks within the last several days.
