IREN, Newmont, Caterpillar, Freeport-McMoRan, MP Materials, Centrus Energy, and Cipher Mining are the seven 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 produce mined commodities such as gold, silver, copper, coal and industrial minerals. For investors they provide exposure to commodity prices and resource supply but tend to be cyclical and higher-risk due to commodity-price volatility, operational, regulatory and geopolitical factors. They range from small exploration "juniors" to large diversified "majors," which have very different risk and return profiles.
