Whether you're looking for top investment opportunities or comparing development trends, the Mining IQ Projects Suite, powered by Mining Journal, offers a trusted, data-driven view of the global mining project pipeline.

Each year, we identify the 50 top global mining projects, selected through a rigorous, objective scoring method. Drawing from 23 key data points across 13 metrics – including Economics, Jurisdiction, Confidence, Financeability, Engineering, and Geology – we cut through the noise to highlight projects with true potential.

The Mining IQ Projects Suite provides deep insight into the world's leading mining development opportunities, anchored by the annual Mining Journal IQ Project Pipeline Index.

We currently track 600+ projects with over US$270 billion in capex, and include a special focus on the best small-scale projects (capex under US$150M).
