(including my all-time favourite)
On geology
- Earth: Portrait of a Planet
This book is a manual for geology students, but investors seeking a more in-depth view of mining jargon can certainly benefit.
The graphics are stunning and clearly articulate the concepts.

- Mining Economics Explained
This book will take you through the whole cycle with a focus on the economics of the industry.
A worthy addition to your library. And highly recommended by many in the community!
✍️ Craig Hutton → https://amzn.to/3EdiZS1
- Introduction to Ore-Forming Processes
If you enjoy, like me, diving deep into the geology and figuring out exactly what reports want to tell you…
This is a great one.
For serious investors only.
✍️ Laurence Robb → https://amzn.to/3TImAxH
- Dictionary of Geology & Mineralogy
If you’re puzzled by jargon when reading releases and reports, here’s a quick hack:
Get this dictionary on Kindle and carry it on your phone like me!
PS: also available as hardcopy.
✍️ McGraw Hill → https://amzn.to/3Velg5M
- Mineral Resources: From Exploration to Sustainability Assessment
An extensive, in-depth global review, with great photos, and history.
✍️ Manuel Bustillo Revuelta → https://amzn.to/3P6pXfV
(if reading 666 pages scares you, see my all-time favorite next)
- Mineral Exploration and Mining Essentials
Got it over a decade ago and still has things to teach me.
An overview of the industry, common jargon and much more in a concise package.
✍️ Robert Stevens → https://amzn.to/3qfdZ7N
On investing
- The Mining Valuation Handbook
Valuations matter.
I always say investors need to get their own idea of value.
This book is ideal for you when wanting to flex your valuation muscles.
Detailed and to the point but with plenty of examples.
✍️ Victor Rudenno → https://amzn.to/3dTZLXj
- The Art and Science of Technical Analysis: Market Structure, Price Action, and Trading Strategies
I’m definitely focused on fundamentals but technical analysis is key to time entries.
This one is comprehensive yet useful for both new and experienced investors.
✍️ Adam Grimes → https://amzn.to/3PXKwf4
On body language and deception detection
- Spy the Lie: How to spot deception the CIA way
Great insights into deciphering what people really mean, like management of any companies you plan to invest in, mining and otherwise.
I even took her training a few years ago. Great option.
