Will These 3 Mining Stocks Continue Going Up?
Mining stocks
had a great run in 2020, but nobody knew what would happen when 2021 came around. This is mainly due to the volatility in the world caused by the pandemic. Initially COVID-19 made gold stocks and silver stocks skyrocket as investors put their money into metals instead of the dollar. This momentum carried both metals to a new record high in the market.
In 2021 so far there have been plenty of high performing mining stocks in the market. Some believe that gold and silver are the only types of mining stocks that perform well. But there are plenty of other mining niches that are high performing in 2021. One of these is lithium stocks which are going up because of the electric vehicle market. Lithium ion batteries are one of the main components used in making electric vehicles.
Copper, lead, uranium, among others are also great mining stocks to watch. Now COVID-19 restrictions in the United States are lowering at a fast rate. Even one of the strictest states, California, has removed mask restrictions for vaccinated people and removed capacity limits. This means that industrial companies that previously had to slow down or halt work can now operate at the highest level. This has caused a lot of ups and downs for different materials this year. For example, a few months ago there was increased demand for copper and iron as industrial companies started working to the fullest. Now these materials are not performing as well, despite still being high in the market. So let’s look at three
mining stocks
that are doing great in June.

The VP of exploration Luis Castro said, “These results support our view that the Terronera property continues to have significant potential to discover new mineralized zones and grow the mineral resources in multiple veins proximal to the already defined reserves and resources in the main Terronera vein. Over the past couple years, our drill programs have focused solely on delineating reserves and resources within the main Terronera vein to increase the level confidence for the Feasibility Study. During this time, surface exploration work was performed to develop and prepare additional targets in the region. These drill results verify that our detailed, methodical approach continues to be the right approach.” Keeping all of this information in mind, will EXK make your

The President and CEO of the company Michael Steinmann said, “Q1 was a challenging quarter, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to grip Latin America, impacting our workforce, communities and operations. At La Colorada, we experienced large inventory build-ups and a blockage of a ventilation project that occurred during commissioning, which reduced Q1 sales and production. These are transitory issues expected to be resolved during the remainder of 2021, with the roll-out of vaccination programs across our operating jurisdictions alleviating some of the impact of the pandemic.” Will PAAS make your
