Exploration Cools Amid Market Instability

S&P Global Market Intelligence’s Industry Monitor reviews activities and trends in the mining industry's mineral exploration and development sector. Here's a snapshot of the report:

Not surprisingly, given the general market turmoil and looming trade wars late in the month, mining equities lost ground again in March (after reaching an almost five-year high in January), as S&P Global Market Intelligence's aggregate market value of the industry's listed companies based on 2,471 firms was down by almost 5% to US$1.51 trillion. The aggregate market cap of the industry's top 100 companies also fell in March, to US$1.23 trillion, off from a 41-month high in January.
