  • IREN (formerly Iris Energy) operates bitcoin-mining data centers out of Sydney, offering crypto-mining exposure rather than traditional metal extraction.

IREN, Caterpillar, and Vale are the three Mining stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Mining stocks are shares of publicly traded companies that explore for, develop, and extract natural resources such as gold, copper, iron ore, coal, and other minerals. They tend to move with underlying commodity prices and carry added operational, environmental, and geopolitical risks, with issuers ranging from speculative junior explorers to large, established producers. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Mining stocks within the last several days.
