Top down: Position in the cycle/sector
Return of competitive tension for potential Tier 1 projects illustrated in recent SolGold private placement
(AIM code: SOLG, YTD performance >12x )
§ End of previous commodity cycle
(YTD resource sector % performance with increasing liquidity and deal flow/financings)
§ Exploration sector provides highest beta to new cycle
(Historically more leverage, coupled with >5 years declining $, declining discovery rates, record production/reserve depletion)
§ Copper price has underperformed most industrial metals (Supply side surplus driven by a handful of new projects - near peak- but facing declining grades/increasing capital intensity) § Favorable structural outlook for copper: “we anticipate it will be the first mineral commodity in our portfolio to return to fundamental
market balance” - BHPB, Oct’16 (M&A through the cycle and overweight exploration budgets reflect the industries view of incentive/future pricing)
§ Industry focus continues to be porphyry deposits
(long life, low opex, lower risk) )
§ Gold systems preferred to moly
(Copper-gold porphyries benefit to copper-moly systems from higher by-product credits)
§ Limited under-explored copper frontiers (DRC, Philippines, PNG, Indonesia, Myanmar v Mongolia) § Lack of industry players and exploration teams/portfolios
(historically >10 NDAs with industry players when owning only one license, only Rio Tinto and TRQ left in Mongolia)
