GAU - Best Mining Stocks to Watch Before 2021 Ends
Will these mining stocks increase this month?
The COVID-19 issue caused many mining stocks to set new highs in 2020. Supply chain difficulties and shortages impacted the price of gold stocks in 2021. Now, investors are asking how gold will fare in 2022. Metals and materials prices soared as the economy tanked. The fundamental reason for the rally was increased demand and increased scarcity. When most people think of mining stocks, they think of gold and silver stocks . Last year, both of these assets achieved new highs.
So you might be wondering where things stand now in 2021. At the very beginning, mining stocks took off but then pulled back. For a while, gold and silver assets could not reach past key price points. This is when copper, lithium, iron ore, and other mining stocks took an opportunity to rise up in the market. Now in December 2021, gold is in the $1,774 per ounce price range.
Many people think of gold and silver stocks when they think about mining assets. In reality, there are numerous different types of mining stocks. Companies in this category include those that look for copper, steel, uranium, lithium, lead, and other minerals. Bitcoin mining stocks, for example, can be considered for this type of asset.

The President and CEO OF Galiano, Matt Badylax said, “Although an increased proportion of Akwasiso contributed to mill feed for the quarter relative to Q2, grades at Esaase remained below expectations resulting in lower production in Q3.
