Metals & Mining

Metals and mining covers precious and base metals, battery and critical minerals, and companies ranging from early exploration through active production. Demand reflects industrial and construction activity, electrification and battery supply chains, and the role of precious metals as a store of value during periods of inflation and currency uncertainty. Permitting timelines and jurisdictional risk often determine which projects advance, independent of geology. The sector is unusually equity-driven: exploration and development companies fund multi-year programs through successive raises well before generating revenue, which makes continuous access to public markets a defining feature of the business rather than an occasional need. Many issuers are listed in both the United States and Canada. A.G.P. supports mining companies through equity and debt financing, M&A advisory, and research coverage.
