10 of the Hottest Mining Stocks for 2025

The global resource race is heating up…

As geopolitical tensions simmer and trade wars threaten to boil over, China is tightening its grip on critical minerals like rare earths, weaponizing its dominance in the raw materials that power our modern world.

This strategic maneuvering is sending shockwaves through global supply chains, leaving industries scrambling for alternative sources.

With prices of key commodities skyrocketing and experts predicting even more dramatic increases, a new generation of mining companies is rising to the challenge.

A new gold rush is on for the minerals that will fuel the future of technology, defense, and green energy…

And today, we're diving deep into ten companies poised to break China's stranglehold and reshape the global resource landscape.

#1 Perpetua Resources (NASDAQ:PPTA)

Perpetua Resources’ (NASDAQ: PPTA) flagship Stibnite Gold Project in Idaho is not only one of the largest open-pit gold mines in the United States–it is also set to be the country’s only domestic source of antimony.

According to the company, the mine–a key player for Allied Forces in WWII–could end up supplying some 35% of U.S. antimony demand in the first six years of production.

Federal support for Stibnite has been significant, with the Department of Defense awarding Perpetua Resources up to $34.6 million in additional funding in February of this year under the existing Technology Investment Agreement (TIA) through Title III of the Defence Production Act (DPA), then receiving a letter of interest for a $1.8 billion loan from the U.S. Export-Import Bank (EXIM) earlier this year to help develop the mine.

This potential financing, which offers a 15-year term at competitive rates, is a rare backing that underscores the project’s importance to national security, particularly as the U.S aims to reduce its reliance on Chinese mineral imports. In fact, the loan would be one of the largest investments ever in a mine by the U.S. government.

In a further show of government support, the Pentagon has already committed nearly $60 million under the Defense Production Act to advance Stibnite’s permitting process, emphasizing the mine’s role in securing a domestic antimony supply chain. Perpetua Resources said in September of this year that it expects to be issued the final permit for the mine in December.
