What are your thoughts on investing in metals mining right now?

I’ve been reading up on metals mining lately and I’m curious about how everyone feels about it as an investment right now. With all the fluctuations in the market and the push for renewable energy, it seems like there’s a lot going on. I’m particularly interested in gold and copper—are these still safe bets? Or is there something new on the horizon that we should be looking at? I’ve heard mixed opinions about the environmental impacts, too, and I wonder how that might affect investments in the long run. Any personal experiences or insights you could share would be super helpful!
