Ivanhoe Mines Ltd (IVN-T) has demonstrated a strong position in the mining sector, showcasing significant copper production and operating the highest-grade zinc mine globally. However, the company faces considerable challenges due to structural stability issues in its Congo mine, causing a temporary suspension of operations. These operational setbacks, alongside unfortunate flooding at one of its key mines, raise concerns about potential delays in revenue generation. Despite these challenges, long-term prospects appear promising with projects like the world's largest platinum and palladium mine nearing production. Investment from significant stakeholders, such as the Qatar Investment Authority, highlights confidence in the company's future, although political and operational risks remain a concern for potential investors.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 09/17, Down 45%) It's the best junior stock he's talked about in terms of potential. It has three world-class assets and run by the best mining entrepreneur of this generation. The problems are South Africa and Congo. Investors are afraid of political risks, especially ones they don't understand.
TOP PICK
Has three of the best assets ever in a junior mining company: South Africa (palladium), Congo (copper) and zinc. Problems are South Africa and the mining charter, and especially Congo which has a lot of political risk. But the risk is slightly offset by the political influence of a Chinese mining company operating these areas. And Ivanhoe has strong management. (Analysts’ price target is $6.94)
COMMENT

He did well with this a while ago, a past top pick, at 556% return. It's one of the best copper development assets in the world. They're discovering even more copper. They now have a Chinese partner, so this makes it easier to work in Africa. But there's still a lot of unrest in the DRC (Congo) which means negative sentiment.

DON'T BUY

He bought this Dec. 2015 at cash value at the right time. Sold it around $5. Fantastic deposit now going into development, but not buying now.

TOP PICK

Not for the faint of hear. A tier-one platinum and palladium discovery in South Africa; Zinc deposits and a massive copper discovery both in Congo. So, three tier-one deposits. What could go wrong? Well, South Africa is not a great country and Congo is a horrible country (political instability). (Analysts’ price target is $6.67)

BUY

He doesn't like to sit on profits and would rather trade it here if it's made you money. $3 level would be support. If he didn't own it, he'd buy it now.

BUY

He would be a buyer. We haven't seen the uptick that we’ve seen with other stocks, but there is a nice little base with a lot of support at around $4 and at $3.75. The 1st upside target would be around $5. If it could get back to the highs that we saw last April of about $5.50, then we would see much bigger highs, closer to $7.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 11/16. Up 102%.) Speculators need to understand that there is a lot of political risk. This is in a bad country, south Africa, and a horrible country, the Congo. However, they have 4 world-class deposits, wrapped around Robert Friedland, who is the most serially successful mining financier of his generation.

TOP PICK

4 world-class deposits. The best mining financier in this generation. 2 great partners, being the Chinese government and the Japanese government. What stands against it? South Africa and Congo. If you can take the political risks, and you want to be in this business, it’s a name you have to own. (Analysts’ price target is $5.70.)

HOLD

They have a mine in Africa which potentially has copper and platinum. The seasonality for base metals is from Nov 19 into April. Chart shows there was a ramp up in 2016, but has been consolidating this year.

COMMENT

Had bought this at around $.60 and sold it at over $4. An incredible asset in a copper market that was going up. However, he doesn’t like the DRC, so he got out of this.

WATCH

A base metal stock that has a very distinct seasonality. Historically, the best time has been from October to approximately May of each year. Currently, this is still in a trading range and September could be a little difficult for base metal stocks. Watch this, because it looks like it is lining up for the next period of seasonal strength at around the middle of October.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Sep 28/16, Up 116.01%) Take your capital off the table, although he has not sold any of his holding because he tolerates more risk. The biggest risk is political instability in the Congo.

WATCH

The base metal stocks over the last three weeks are showing some very strong technical strength. The long term trend is still to the upside. The resistance is at the $5.50 level. Strength will continue seasonally until the end of July. It is outperforming the TSX and above the 20 & 50 day moving averages. Watch for it to move above the $5.50 mark.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 11/16. Up 152%.) He has a tolerance for political risk, which is the only risk this company has. 3 world-class deposits including the best undeveloped platinum deposit in the world, and the 2 best undeveloped copper deposits in the world. Their 4th asset is the highest zinc/copper deposit in the world. This is fronted by the most successful mining entrepreneur. What is wrong is that South Africa is challenging and the Congo is wrecked.
