Mining activities and companies suffered significantly during the pandemic due to the imposition of lockdowns and the movement of workers back to their homelands. The cyclical nature of the mining industry makes it extremely dependent on the performance of the economy.
Increasing vaccination rates and reopening of the economy is expected to drive mining operations back on track in the coming few months. Several large and small miner companies have resumed operations to pre-pandemic levels. Below is a detailed review of the investment prospect in two mining stocks – Eurasia Mining and Alien Metals.
