Mining companies are entering 2026 with a record aggregate market capitalization of $1.2 trillion, nearly double that of 2025, despite challenges from rising energy costs that have squeezed profit margins. The sector faces uncertainty due to geopolitical tensions, such as the Iran conflict, which has increased energy prices and disrupted supply chains, causing companies to rethink energy sources and project economics.
