They give investors leveraged exposure to commodity prices and to company-specific risks—exploration success, operational costs, geopolitical or regulatory changes, and environmental factors—making them typically more cyclical and volatile than broad-market stocks. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Mining stocks within the last several days.
