MINING NEWS gold, silver, zinc

The Mining News app provides both summary and in-depth coverage of the mining industry. Key coverage areas within the mining sector include gold, silver, copper, battery metals, iron ore, lithium, rare earth metals, nickel, coal, uranium, cobalt, diamonds, zinc, platinum, palladium, and potash. We also shed light on topics that are highly correlated to mining, such as EVs (electric vehicles), EV batteries and their impact on the automobile industry (such as cobalt and manganese, which are essential ingredients in most lithium-ion batteries).

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.
