Investor Sentiment Insights 2026

Discover what investors have planned for mining in 2026 in our industry-leading survey

Introduction:

Mining IQ’s Investor Sentiment Insights report gauges the shifting attitudes of the investor community toward the resources sector. Through a survey focused on investment amounts, returns and preferences – including for specific commodities, geographies, and project stages – the report paints a picture of where investors are placing capital in the industry.

Results enable investors to see how their peers are operating and provide resources equities with an indication of where the money is moving and how best to position themselves to attract a bigger piece of the investment pie.

The report also examines investors’ expectations for M&A and how ESG performance will shape mining investment.

Methodology:

The report is based on Mining IQ’s annual Investor Sentiment Survey, distributed to the Mining Journal network and those of sister publications of publisher Aspermont./p>

The survey is focused on key themes affecting the industry and investment volumes, returns, preferred geographies, commodities and project stages, alongside key factors affecting investment decisions.
