description: "Southern Copper is a pure copper mining company; it directly benefits when copper prices rise, with a simple and pure trend. Freeport-McMoRan's business is more complex; besides copper, it also produces a large amount of gold and molybdenum. Sometimes its strength isn't due to copper, but because gold prices have risen."
