London, Jan 6, 2026, 08:31 GMT — Regular session Glencore plc shares rose 1.3% to 424.9 pence by around 0830 GMT, as a fresh record in copper prices lifted mining stocks early in London trading.

Evolution Mining stock ends higher as gold hits a one-week high; EVN investors eye Jan 21 update

Sydney, Jan 6, 2026, 18:22 AEDT — Market closed Evolution Mining Ltd (EVN.AX) shares closed up 0.2% at A$12.82 on Tuesday, steadying near the top of their 52-week range as gold pushed higher.

LONDON, January 5, 2026, 08:33 GMT — Regular session Rio Tinto (RIO.L) shares rose 1.8% to 6,093 pence by 0833 GMT, after touching 6,106.7 pence, a new 52-week high, trading data showed.

Denison Mines stock jumps after Phoenix uranium project moves toward construction: what’s next for DNN

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 04:58 ET — Market closed Denison Mines Corp (DNN) shares last closed up about 13% at $3.03 on Friday, their strongest one-day move in months, after the uranium developer flagged fresh progress toward starting construction at its Phoenix project. U.S. markets are shut on Sunday. The catalyst matters because Phoenix is Denison’s flagship and the update puts a near-term spotlight on permitting and spending discipline, two pressure points for pre-production miners. Denison said it is ready to make a final investment decision (FID) — the formal go-ahead to commit major construction capital — and begin

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 1:42 PM ET — Market closed U.S. basic materials stocks ended the first session of 2026 higher, lifting the Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLB) — an exchange-traded fund that tracks a basket of large U.S. materials companies — 1.7% to $46.12 at Friday’s close.

Why CleanSpark (CLSK) stock is jumping today as bitcoin miners rally

Why CleanSpark (CLSK) stock is jumping today as bitcoin miners rally

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 11:11 ET — Regular session Shares of CleanSpark, Inc. rose about 10% on Friday morning, extending a rebound in U.S.-listed bitcoin miners. The Nasdaq-listed stock traded at $11.15 after earlier touching $11.24. The move matters now because miners tend to magnify swings in bitcoin, the asset that drives their revenue. When bitcoin rises, investors often price in faster cash-generation, even if operating costs such as power contracts and equipment depreciation do not move as quickly. Analysts have said bitcoin has been trading more like a traditional “risk asset,” moving with broader market sentiment rather than

Denison Mines stock jumps nearly 11% as Phoenix uranium project nears build decision

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 10:05 ET — Regular session Denison Mines rose 10.9% to $2.95 in morning trade on Friday after the uranium developer said it is ready to make a final investment decision and begin construction on its flagship Phoenix project, while raising its upfront build budget. The update matters now because Phoenix is moving from planning into execution, a phase where timelines and budgets tend to drive stock moves more than long-range resource estimates. It also puts the next catalyst squarely on regulators: Denison needs federal sign-off in Canada before it can break ground, and the company

Sibanye Stillwater drops as gold, platinum retreat from record highs

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 14:30 ET — Regular session. Sibanye Stillwater Limited’s U.S.-listed ADRs fell 9.4% to $14.22 in afternoon trading on Monday, as a sharp pullback in precious metals knocked mining shares lower.
