Mining Review Sunday Update 13th March 2022

City Investors Circle Mining Review 13th March 2022

Metal prices were heavily influenced by the Ukrainian conflict, with nickel making the headlines due to the price rising to $100,000 on the LME, before the market was closed as trading was becoming irrational.

Thermal coal also rose strongly in price as countries such as Germany move to secure supply to possibly replace Russian gas. Uranium rose strongly as Russia supplies 16% of US uranium imports.

City Investors Circle Mining Review 13th March 2022

Metal prices were heavily influenced by the Ukrainian conflict, with nickel making the headlines due to the price rising to $100,000 on the LME, before the market was closed on Tuesday, as trading was becoming irrational. It remained closed on Friday.

The LME then reversed the day’s nickel trades, to the consternation of some of the market participants. As a result, some hedge funds are leaving the market in protest.

In my opinion reversing the trades was a poor decision, as all traders are willing participants, so why do it?  The rumour is Chinese trader Xiang Guangda, known as ‘Big Shot‘, owner of Tsingshan, plans to continue to hold his 150,000t short position on the LME, despite Tsingshan’s losses which are in the region of $8-12bn!

.

Thermal coal also rose strongly in price as countries such as Germany move to secure supply to possibly replace Russian gas. Coking coal, essential for steel making, rose to $472, which is over CAD$600.

Colonial Coal, which has both good quality coking coal, plus thermal coal, is looking a stronger bid prospect by the day, with FOB prices of around CAD$150 for their coking coal. This is a massive margin for what is traditionally a low margin high volume commodity.

Uranium rose strongly to US$60 lb, as Russia supplies 16% of US uranium imports. Biden is under pressure to not sanction uranium imports. UEC (NYSE) has a large stockpile of physical uranium, as has the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust.

Rhodium and cobalt are also catching a bid as supply concerns grow.

 

Mining Review – General Mining news

Chile’s new government took office, which should raise concerns for some mining investors with investment based there, as nationalisation is being talked about, as well as restricting water and seeking the permission of indigenous groups before mining will be permitted.

The government of Guinea has ordered that Rio Tinto stop all activities on their Simandou project. This is a high grade iron ore project. The government want a railway line to be built via an indirect route to a port in neighbouring Liberia, although the project lies close to Liberia, and a much shorter route is possible, and presumably a lot cheaper.

Has been published, including comments on copper, zinc, and tin, all of which are in short supply for a number of reasons.

The Review also features a new tier 1 watchlist of 11 stocks expected to generate positive news during the year.  All are either in production, or close to production and in construction, or a corporate event may be likely.

My preferred company is one that has a low capex, brings a project into production, and then grows organically using cashflow from production. The new tier 1 watchlist contains eight such companies out of eleven selections.

I am hopeful that all eleven will generate positive newsflow during 2022.

Coking coal really roofed it this week, up 14%, and has gone into contango, meaning the future price of coal into China is now being than the present market price.

Colonial Coal is a beneficiary of this strong price at a time where it’s rumoured that potential predators are circling.

Gold had a good week, as did nickel, copper, and tin.

 

Mining company news

Fiore Gold’s takeover by Calibre Mining completed this week, so I am now a shareholder in a company with four producing mines, cashflow positive, plus a large treasury, which is not a bad place to be.

I hope they look to secure another near to production mine outside Nicaragua (preferably in the USA, Canada, or Mexico) as well as bringing Gold Rock in Nevada into production as soon as possible. That way there will be less focus on them being primarily a Nicaragua based producer, because that may well be holding the price back currently in my opinion.

Once Gold Rock starts producing, they will have two producing USA based gold mines, and one wonders what they propose doing with the 2 million ounce gold resource at Gold Eagle in Washington state?  Hecla own the adjoining property and are key to any development of Gold Eagle apparently.

Mining Review Weekly Update 19th December 2021

City Investors Circle – Mining Review 19th Dec 2021

The price of gold is still gyrating between $1760 and $1810, as the FOMC meeting comments are absorbed by the market, and sentiment changes by the day.

Ascot Resources, Cabral Gold, Canuc Resources, Neometals, and Orla Mining all made significant announcements this week.

City Investors Circle – Mining Review 19th Dec 2021

The price of gold is still gyrating between $1760 and $1810, as the FOMC meeting comments are absorbed by the market, and sentiment changes by the day.

Gold just failed to hold $1800 on Friday, but December is normally a poor month for the yellow metal, so if it can hold current levels until the New Year, it’s reasonable to expect a rally above %1800 then.

South America produced the big political news this week, with the government of Chabut, Argentina, finally approving mining in the area that includes Pan American Silver’s Navidad (Christmas) mine.

This has been a long time coming and involved some last minute chicanery by the pro mining lobby to carry the vote, which was close. This has led to riots, see HERE.

The other news was the temporary closure of Las Bambas copper mine in Peru, owned by Chinese company MMG, as protesters have blocked the road as a result of a dispute with the company. Las Bambas produces 2% of the world’s copper, so is a significant supplier.

Company news this week

Ascot Resources, Cabral Gold, Canuc Resources, Neometals, and Orla Mining all made significant announcements this week, as detailed below.

Apollo Consolidated bid farewell to the markets as it was absorbed into Ramelius Resources after the successful buyout. given that Ramelius are a profitable producing gold miner, one would expect they will be able to easily fund more exploration at lake Rebecca in the near term. Transporting concentrate to one of their five nearby mines in Western Australia must  be an option, thus saving on capex.

Earlier this year we lost Roxgold as it was the subject of a successful bid by Fortuna Silver. I did not like the deal at the time, because Roxgold were doing everything right, in production, making a profit, and building a second mine from earnings. Fortuna have a mix of silver properties in Argentina, Peru, and Mexico.

My objection to the deal was that Fortuna had mines in Argentina and Peru, which are too high risk for me at the moment, and only one project in a tier 1 jurisdiction, Mexico. Ironically they have lost their licence in Mexico!  As a result the price has halved in short order. I wonder how the remaining Roxgold shareholders are feeling now?

Precious metals

Gold 1799 1%
Silver 22.35 1%
Palladium 1718 -2%
Platinum 937 -1%
Rhodium 14000 0%

A steady week considering the implications of the FOMC meeting, rising interest rates quicker than anticipated, and tapering coming.

Platinum and palladium are suffering due to the low volumes of new cars being produced globally.

 

.

Base Metals

Copper 4.32 0%
Nickel 8.88 -2%
Zinc 1.54 1%
Tin 17.71 -3%

Tin and nickel both took slight knocks, after having strong rises during 2021. The temporary closure of the Las Bambas copper mine in Peru has not resulted in a rise in the price of the metal yet.

 

.

Energy Metals

Cobalt 31.42 0%
Manganese 3.23 0%
Lithium 33802 6%
Uranium 44.15 -4%

Uranium is slipping back slowly after the recent steep ascent after years in the doldrums. One of the reasons for the rise was companies like UEC, and the newly created Sprott Uranium Fund buying up spare supply and warehousing it.

 

.

Bulk commodities

Iron Ore 120.1 9%
Coking Coal 336 4%
Magnesium 6862 6%

With the power situation improving in China and the government allowing steel production to increase the iron ore and coking coal have surged again.

We have added magnesium to this category, due to it being involved in steel production. It is a critical metal and china supplies 87% of world volume. The price has been rising sharply, and is up over 150% in 2021.

Mining Review Sunday Update 28th November 2021

Mining Review Sunday Update 28th November 2021

This week has been a game of two halves for gold, starting with the weakness created by the confirmation that Biden has renewed Jerome Powell’s chair of the FED, and then the news of the new covid variant sent investors back into gold as a safe haven.

City Investors Circle – Mining Review Sunday Update 28th November 2021

This week has been a game of two halves for gold, starting with the weakness created by the confirmation that Biden has renewed Jerome Powell’s chairmanship of the FED, and then the news of the new covid variant sent investors back into gold as a safe haven.

 

Coking Coal is having a poor time after the recent high, sending Colonial Coal back down a tad as a result. Colonial has had a strong run so there was bound to be some profit taking, but the price remains strong.

The new covid variant is causing a panic, and it remains to be seen whether it kills the rise in base metal prices. Gold initially rose after the variant news came out, but fell back later in the day.

The takeover of Kirkland Lake by Agnico Eagle was completed.

Copper 4.51 +2%

After a few torrid weeks where its price has more than halved, iron ore finally rose back over the $100 mark.  Coking coal continues its retreat from the highs, despite continued commentary suggesting shortages in China.

City Investors Circle – Mining Review Sunday Update 21st November 2021

Colonial Coal is surging again after the publication of a positive Canaccord Research report, highlighting the potential of the stock at current coking (steelmaking) coal prices.

Ascot Gold is also climbing, as some in the media speculate they could be the next takeover target. It’s easy to see why they may be a target, but I personally hope they stay as they are, as I feel they have more to offer their shareholders, such as myself.

A higher US dollar sent precious metal and commodities prices lower on Friday, turning a good week into a negative.

What a pity the US dollar rose as gold and silver were on for a positive week before the late dollar rise.  Still we have higher inflation figures to help carry the gold price higher, with the current US CPI causing forecasters to price in three interest rate rises in 2022, rather than two as previously calculated.

The second London mining conference since covid started was well attended last week, the first day was as busy as always, the second noticeably less so, with many diehards showing signs of fatigue after two hard days of meetings and networking by mid afternoon.

It was good to connect with old friends and connections after nearly two years, let’s hope the rising UK covid numbers don’t wipe out Mines and Money in December.

 

Stocks on our watchlist making news this week.

 Zentek Announces C$32.5 Million financing deals

Precious metals

Gold 1846 -1%
Silver 24.64 -2%
Palladium 2110 0%
Platinum 1086 0%
Rhodium 14350 0%

A poor end to the week for gold and silver, which were up for the week until Friday’s trading session, when the US dollar rose as  investors speculated the US would increase interest rates in the near term

Russia added to their gold stocks this week.

 

.

Base Metals

Copper 4.4 -2%
Nickel 9 -1%
Zinc 1.5 +1%
Tin 17.76 0%

Copper is lower despite shortages at some warehouses including London, with reserves down to historical lows.

 

 

Energy Metals

Cobalt 26.85 0%
Manganese 3.43 -1%
Lithium 28274 +1%
Uranium 47.25 +7%

Uranium had a nice kick this week, but otherwise energy metals look unloved currently.

 

Bulk commodities

Iron Ore 86.2 -4% -29% 90
Coking Coal 311 -7% -16% 333

Iron Ore and coking coal are both down as a result of Chinese government production and pollution curbs, although the electrical supply situation is improving now, which will bring some production back online.

China is trying to curb pollution ahead of the Winter Olympics to be held early next year.

 

 

ETF’s

GDX 33.67 -3%

Colonial Coal – New Research Report Publihed by Hallgarten & Co.

 

A new research note written by New York and London based Hallgarten Investment Research is positive for Colonial Coal.

What is amusing is the price target given when the report was written a week ago has already been surpassed!  A 50% increase in share price in a week means the report may need to be updated!

A week can be a long time in the markets, and so it has come to pass as a research note written a week ago with what looked like an achievable price target in the medium term, has already been surpassed.

It does seem as though the market is at last realising the undervaluation of CAD versus it’s assets in the ground.  Even after such a rise, the share price still looks underalued in my opinion.

One concern may be that of the price continues to rise we may be priced out, but of course the opposite is also true, where the rising price brings bidders to the table quicker as they seek to secure supply at an affordable price.

Colonial Coal Price Soaring – New Research Report

Colonial Coal (TSX.V: CAD)

The share price of Colonial Coal is soaring on the sky high price of steelmaking (coking) coal, and speculation the company may receive M & A activity in the near future.

Every $1 rise per tonne in the price of coking coal just makes the undervaluation of Colonial Coal at the resource level look ever more ridiculous.

Colonial Coal – New Research Report Published as The Share Price Soars 

 

The share price of Colonial Coal is soaring on the sky high price of steelmaking (coking) coal, and speculation the company may receive M & A activity in the near future.

Every $1 rise per tonne in the price of coking coal just makes the undervaluation of Colonial Coal at the resource level look ever more ridiculous.

The company has proved up a substantial resource, and there is  no point in them spending more money to add more tonnes when what they have is very attractive to a potential bidder.

It is well know that the highly experienced management team at Colonial Coal thrive on discovering new deposits, and vending them on at opportune moments, with Western Canadian Coal and NEMI being two prime examples.

Davis Austin and the team have been very open about the fact they are prepared to enter into a deal for one or both of their rich hard coking coal deposits in the prolific Peace River Basin region of British Columbia, and with the coking coal price at record highs, now would appear to be the moment that people are focusing on those rich assets.

A new research report has just been published by Bridgeport Capital of Vancouver, which is very bullish on CAD!

Mining Review Sunday Update 17th Oct. 2021

Copper and coal remain the key stories at the moment, as a shortage of supplies in both key commodities is driving their prices higher. Colonial Coal (TSX.V: CAD) rose to an all time high on the back of M & A speculation as a result.

Gold had a good week until Friday when US inflation numbers drove erased most of the week’s gains in a flash.

Mining Review Sunday Update 17th Oct. 2021

Copper and coal remain the key stories at the moment, as a shortage of supplies in both key commodities is driving their prices higher.

Colonial Coal (TSX.V: CAD) rose to an all time high on the back of M & A speculation as a result of the record high steelmaking (coking) coal price.  With both coking and thermal coal scarce, if there ever was a time for Colonial Coal to receive a bid, it’s surely now?

Gold had a good week until Friday when US inflation numbers drove erased most of the week’s gains in a flash. US$1,000 is proving a resistance point currently, and the price is becoming rangebound.

Copper, uranium, and zinc all had strong weeks, despite the Chinese government looking to release more strategic reserves to try and calm price speculation.  LME copper reserves are very low, as are warehouses in Shanghai and other parts of the world.

Colonial Coal Jumps on Coal price and bid rumours

Colonial Coal (TSX.V: CAD)

The share price of Colonial Coal has risen sharply over the last month as there seems to be feeling in some quarters that the company might finally be on the radar of potential bidders, looking to secure a supply of coking coal for the future.

It has long been thought that Colonial could receive bids from either Chinese or Indian companies, but Japan and Korea are also potential sources, as well as the USA of course.

Colonial Coal Jumps on High Coking Coal price and bid rumours

 

Colonial Coal (TSX.V: CAD) The share price of Colonial Coal has risen sharply over the last month as there seems to be feeling in some quarters that the company might finally be on the radar of potential bidders, looking to secure a supply of coking coal for the future.

It has long been thought that Colonial could receive bids from either Chinese or Indian companies, but Japan and Korea are also potential sources, as well as the USA of course.

One question being asked by shareholders and those interested in investing in the company is what would a bid value the shares at?

Currently CAD is valued at a mere 38 Canadian cents per tonne of resource in the ground!  FOB costs to the port are around C$130 – C$150, so this normally low margin bulk commodity that is currently selling in China for over C$400 has one heck of a margin…

Clearly capex needs to be taken into account, but even so, CAD looks so undervalued it’s not true.

The graphics below illustrate perfectly the potential for share price appreciation and the creation of shareholder value, giving various price points that a bid might be received at per tonne of coal, and the resulting share price.

The investment thesis looks compelling at this low share price in my opinion, the world needs steelmaking coal, they are still building steel mills powered by coking coal in Asia currently, there is no substitute for coking coal at present.

The story of the week again, sadly, was the falling gold price, into the mid 1700’s, due to better than expected US retail figures, and a strengthening US dollar.

Iron ore is another casualty, but for a different reason.  Coking coal is roofing it as supply is tight, bring companies like Colonial Coal into investor focus.

Mining Review Sunday Update 19th September

The story of the week again, sadly, was the falling gold price, into the mid 1700’s, due to better than expected US retail figures, and a strengthening US dollar.

Iron ore is another casualty, but for a different reason, the Chinese government is limiting steel production for the remainder of 2021, causing a sharp drop in demand for iron ore.

Coking coal is roofing it as supply is tight, bring companies like Colonial Coal into investor focus. The price has more than doubled in a few short months.

Gold got thumped by some unexpectedly good US retail numbers, and fell sharply back through to around $1,760.   Silver took an ever harder beating, losing 6% in 5 trading days.

Palladium was knocked back on lower car production due to a shortage of micro chips, and reports that some manufacturers are switching to platinum due to the lower cost.

Lithium is roaring away as supply concerns are forcing battery companies to try and secure supply at ever higher prices.

Uranium is rising rapidly due to the actions of the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust buying a significant quantity on the spot market to warehouse, thus driving up prices. Sprott has just announced it is raising another $1 billion for uranium purchases. I wonder if Sprott is related to the Hunt brothers?

Coking Coal 359 +22%

Quite an extraordinary divergence here, with iron ore slumping due to Chinese steel production limitations at the same time as a real coking coal supply crunch.
