Mining & Energy 2025: RIG, BORR, PNPN.V, DNN - Stocks Under $5 to Watch...more inside

The mining and energy sectors continue to generate investor buzz heading into 2025, as a mix of exploration breakthroughs, multi-million-dollar drilling contracts, and industry-shaping partnerships unfold across gold, uranium, copper, and offshore oil. Here are five standout stocks under $5 showing strong upside potential.

Transocean Ltd. (NYSE: RIG) Global offshore drilling giant Transocean recently locked in a $193 million contract for its Deepwater Conqueror rig in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico / America, extending its backlog to $9.3 billion. The company is also reportedly in merger talks with Seadrill Ltd., which could create the world's largest offshore drilling operator. With a dominant presence in deepwater basins across Brazil, West Africa, and the Gulf, Transocean remains a major player in the energy rebound.

Borr Drilling Ltd. (NYSE: BORR) has rapidly expanded its global footprint with $120 million in new rig contracts across Vietnam and West Africa. With high technical utilization (99.2%) and Q2 2024 net income up 120% to $31.7 million, Borr is scaling fast-remobilizing rigs in Mexico and deploying assets to new contracts in Brazil and Libya. These developments set the stage for continued earnings momentum throughout 2025.

Power Metallic Mines Inc. (TSX-V: PNPN | OTCBB: PNPNF) the world's first carbon-neutral polymetallic explorer, is aggressively drilling across four high-potential zones-Lion, Nisk, Nisk East, and Tiger-targeting critical minerals such as nickel, copper, gold, silver, battery metals, and PGEs. Using advanced Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) and controlling five fully owned properties spanning 50,000+ acres in Chile's prolific IOCG belt, Power Metallic has already secured a NI 43-101 resource and is positioning itself at the forefront of the 2025 commodity supercycle.

Denison Mines Corp. (NYSE: DNN | TSX: DML) is advancing the largest undeveloped uranium project in Canada's Athabasca Basin-its 95%-owned Wheeler River Project. The company is also playing a key role in post-closure mine care through its Closed Mines group. As nuclear energy regains prominence in clean energy portfolios, Denison remains a key uranium name to watch.

Gold Terra Resource Corp. (TSXV: YGT | OTCQX: YGTFF) Fresh off a major exploration milestone, Gold Terra intersected the Campbell Shear gold target at 2,560 meters on its Con Mine Option Property in NWT. With assays pending and a second drill underway, the company also confirmed it has fulfilled C$8M in exploration spending with Newmont Canada (NYSE: NEM | TSX: NGT)-a strong sign of partnership and progress.

From deepwater rigs and uranium reserves to critical minerals and gold intercepts, these sub-$5 stocks offer exposure to major developments in resource-rich sectors. With contract wins, strategic locations, and technical milestones, Transocean Ltd. (NYSE: RIG), Borr Drilling Ltd. (NYSE: BORR), Power Metallic Mines Inc. (TSX-V: PNPN | OTCBB: PNPNF), Denison Mines Corp. (NYSE: DNN | TSX: DML) and Gold Terra (TSXV: YGT | OTCQX: YGTFF) deserve a place on every investor's 2025 watchlist.
