We track the social media presence of 105 Gold mining companies on X (Twitter) and YouTube. This page ranks them by X followers (largest first) — the same default ranking as our main social rankings — because audience size is the clearest signal of how much a company is on investors’ radar. The supporting columns show momentum and activity: 7-day follower growth, posts this week, and engagement (likes + reposts, with the engagement rate). We deliberately do not rank by market cap or stock price — this is a social-media leaderboard, not a stock screener. Follower counts, growth, post counts, and engagement are re-pulled every week, and the page is rebuilt and re-published automatically.
