Q: The outlook for copper and the insider buying & ownership of Highland Copper(HI). Is this company's balance sheet trending in a good direction? Basically is their longer term outlook from what you see more of a positive outlook or negative outlook?

Thanks

5i Research Answer:

Copper has been bouncing around, and its future direction is largely going to depend on economic growth and China demand. The former point is still uncertain, but economies overall are still better than what was feared six months ago. China is a big question mark still. Interest rates also play a factor here. We would consider the copper outlook 'ok' but certainly not a slam-dunk right now. HI is closely held by three entities: Orion Mine Finance 27.7%, Condire Investors 16.2%, Greenstone Resources 16%. Insiders directly are at 0.71% but have been net buyers in 2025. The company has about $6M net cash but cash flow is still negative and it is going to need more capital as it develops its projects. It has no revenue and losses are expected to continue. It has two decent early-stage projects in Michagan, but it is a tiny company and it should be considered very speculative right now. We have nothing against it, and there is potential, but risks are very high, even if overall markets are strong.
