Mining Stocks
While sometimes risky, mining stocks can also be strong performers when commodity prices move up. However, due to the volatility of these stocks, Pat McKeough recommends that they only form a modest part of a well-balanced portfolio.
Canadian penny mining stocks are some of the riskiest stocks you can buy. These companies are trying to find mineral deposits that mine at a profit and such a find are exceedingly rare. Because of this, it’s even more important to look for investment quality in penny mines.
For example, we automatically rule out investing in penny mines that promote themselves too aggressively or do so misleadingly. The mine-finding effort is more likely to succeed if the managers focus on finding a mine rather than hyping their stock.
Junior mining stocks are usually smaller companies that typically take on riskier mining projects. However, if a junior mining stock is successful at finding and mining, it can mean huge returns for investors.
No matter what type of mining stocks, or other stocks you invest in, TSI Network recommends following our three-part Successful Investor strategy:
- Invest mainly in well-established, mostly dividend-paying companies;
- Spread your money out across most if not all of the five main economic sectors (Manufacturing & Industry; Resources & Commodities; Consumer; Finance; and Utilities);
- Downplay or avoid stocks in the broker/media limelight.

Penny stocks typically trade at or under a value of $5.00 or so. For those who can accept the risk, penny stocks can pay off extremely well. Even so, they should always make up a limited portion of your portfolio.

NUTRIEN LTD. $96 is down 16% from its recent peak of $114. That’s because the flow of chemicals used to make nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers from the Middle East improved in June with the temporary opening of the Strait of Hormuz; that development lowered fertilizer prices.
However, the company stands to gain from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s plan to invest $500 million U.S. to increase fertilizer production in that country.

NEWMONT CORP., $107.61, remains a buy for long-term growth and as a hedge against inflation. The company (New York symbol NEM; Shares outstanding: 1.1 billion; Market cap: $114.9 billion; TSINetwork Rating: Average; Dividend yield: 1.0%; newmont.com) is down 20% from its recent peak of $135 in January 2026. That’s mainly due to the drop in gold prices since the start of the Iran war. The conflict has pushed up oil prices and inflation, which could prompt central banks to raise interest rates. Higher rates make cash and bonds more attractive than gold.
The disruption of fertilizer shipments from the Persian Gulf due to the current crisis in the Middle East has increased prices and Nutrien’s shares. An end to the war in the coming weeks should cause fertilizer prices to fall. Even so, Nutrien’s falling costs put it in a strong position to withstand lower prices.

Alcoa’s shares moved up after the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. That’s because the Middle East supplies about 9% of the world’s aluminum. While prices are likely to retreat in the next few months, Alcoa’s outlook remains strong on rising infrastructure development, particularly in China and India. That should spur aluminum demand for years.
