Senior Miner (Major)

Detail

Senior Miners (also Majors) are established producing companies with typically more than $10B market capitalization, multiple operating mines in several jurisdictions and a diversified commodity portfolio. Growth is primarily through M&A and brownfield expansion, less through in-house greenfield exploration. Gold examples: Newmont, Barrick, Agnico Eagle, Kinross. For Mineralis they are coverage anchors (well-understood reference points), but not the coverage gap — that lies with the Junior Miners.

Example

Newmont (NYSE:NEM) is the #1 Senior Miner by market capitalization — live in Mineralis as a reference profile with MAS-Score 37/55.
