Should Investors Consider Adding These Top Mining Stocks To Their Portfolio This Month? There are many types of mining stocks that have been trending in the market. The pandemic last year caused the price of many different minerals to skyrocket in price. This included gold, which at one point reached more than $2,000 per ounce last year. This rally for top mining stocks attracted many new investors to the sector that may have not paid attention to before. Now weâve reached 2021, so things have changed in the market. Gold and silver, for example, have still been able to hold themselves at the key price points of $1,800 per ounce and $25 per ounce respectively. But gold and silver related mining stocks are not the only types of mining stocks that exist in the market.
