MINING NEWS gold, silver, zinc

We write about large mining companies (with adjusted annual mining-related revenue of more than US$500 million), intermediate mining companies (at least $50 million in annual revenue, but less than $500 million) and junior mining companies, which are usually pure exploration companies - but may also produce minimally - and do not have revenues exceeding US$50 million.

We also pay particular attention to rare earth metals, a group of 17 chemical elements in the Earth's crust, which are crucial to keeping our society running smoothly and to transitioning to a clean tech driven economy. Rare earth elements are used in electric car motors, lithium ion batteries, computer hard drives, solar panels, and wind turbines. These metals regroup the following elements: lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, lutetium, scandium and yttrium.
