Top 5 Mining Stocks You Don’t Want to Miss in 2025

Disseminated on behalf of Nova Pacific Metals Corp.

The mining sector is about to enter an unprecedented era of opportunity. With metal prices surging and demand hitting all-time highs, 2025 is shaping up to be a breakout year for savvy investors.

Citigroup, Goldman Sachs and Bank of America are all calling for $3,000 gold by mid-2025.¹ Silver is already on a tear at $33 per ounce with some experts predicting a jaw-dropping $100, and copper prices have spiked over 17% in 2024 alone. Zinc isn’t far behind, up over 15% since the start of the year. The numbers tell a story of growing demand driven by electric vehicles, green energy projects, and emerging markets.

And the best part? This is just the beginning of a metals supercycle that’s expected to deliver explosive growth for well-positioned mining companies. The global push for critical minerals is rewriting the rules, making this the perfect time to zero in on the stocks that are primed for big things in 2025.

As the world transitions to a greener future, the companies leading the charge in producing high-demand materials like copper, nickel, gold, and zinc are standing out. With billions in revenue growth posted by key players in 2024 and technological advancements slashing production costs, now is the time to jump on the mining stocks that will dominate 2025.

Here are the top 5 mining stocks to watch this year:

Nova Pacific Metals Corp. (CSE:NVPC) (OTCQB:NVPCF)
Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. (TSX:IVN) (OTCQX:IVPAF)
Hudbay Minerals Inc. (TSX:HBM) (NYSE:HBM)
Goliath Resources Limited (TSXV:GOT) (OTCQB:GOTRF)
Skeena Resources Limited (TSX:SKE) (NYSE:SKE)

These five companies represent a mix of exploration and production-focused firms, each poised for growth as the mining sector continues to evolve.

1. Nova Pacific Metals Corp. (CSE:NVPC) (OTCQB:NVPCF)

Nova Pacific Metals Corp. (CSE:NVPC) (OTCQB:NVPCF) is perfectly positioned to ride the wave of the booming metals supercycle. With gold, silver, copper, and zinc prices hitting record highs and demand soaring, this emerging player is rapidly gaining attention across North America with its Lara VMS Project in British Columbia, Canada.

The Lara VMS Project is just 64 km from Victoria, and offers all-year road access and nearby deep-water ports providing direct shipping routes to global markets.

The project has already seen extensive historical exploration with 323 drill holes totaling over 58,000 meters, revealing high-grade, near-surface mineralization that positions it for a clear pathway to production.²

According to an independent NI 43-101 compliant technical report, the Lara Project’s inferred resource includes 1.8 million tonnes grading 3.01% zinc, 32.97 g/t silver, 1.05% copper, and 1.97 g/t gold.³ What’s more, 80% of the property remains underexplored, leaving substantial potential for resource expansion, with Phase I exploration set to begin in Q1 2025.

Nova Pacific Metals (CSE:NVPC) (OTC:NVPCF) has engaged⁴ Mineit Consulting and Sacré-Davey Engineering to conduct a resource gap analysis and design an exploration program to enhance both tonnage and grade, positioning the company for further growth.

Nova Pacific Metals is not only advancing this high-grade project but has also secured financing to accelerate exploration activities, further enhancing its value proposition to investors. Thanks to strong investor demand, the company has upsized⁵ its previously announced non-brokered private placement to 12,000,000 units at $0.25 per unit, raising up to $3 million.

This positions Nova Pacific Metals Corp. (CSE:NVPC) (OTCQB:NVPCF) for an exciting year ahead as metal prices continue to rise.
