Copper molybdenum producer in northwest Arizona. Also, acquired a couple of other assets in Mexico. Their problem had been getting financing for their Mexican mines and the market punished them for making the acquisitions. You are at the mercy of copper/molybdenum prices which he feels have bottomed.
Copper project and now Moly. Have a Mexican project. Have new CEO and had to revise guidance. Had difficulty getting financing and there were concerns about them running out of money and stopping Mexican project. He would watch it closely. Moly market is weak and not showing any signs of recovery.
Copper/molybdenum play in Nevada. Two attractive minerals in a geographically safe area. Too small for him but likes what they do. You’ll have to wait for a re-acceleration of base metal prices.
Small company. Properties in Arizona with copper and a little bit of molybdenum. Be very careful investing in small companies like this. Seasonality for metals would be November 13 until May 5. We are at the end of the seasonal period for copper.
Acquiring Stingray (SRY-T) but didn't make a lot of sense to him because it diluted molybdenum exposure. Likes moly in the medium term but short-term he is a little bit cautious because it had a big run. Long-term he expects the use of moly to expand.
Molybdenum and copper. All the metals stocks had corrections but this was beaten up because it had financial issues. These have now been resolved. Expect it will be acquired in the next 2 or 3 years.
