Q: Who should i focus on for copper. Manageable debt to survive any economic down turn, mining in stable political countries, low cost production, reasonable life of current mine(s) for future supply. Trading on the Canadian exchanges With EV etc I expect supply of copper will be another metal that will be in short supply but will have its ups and downs in the short term.

Q: I'm thinking of taking some positions in base metals companies. I'm especially interested in copper plays as it seems to be needed to support the drive to electrification. Do you think this is and opportune time to initate positions? In any case, I would appreciate it if you would share some of your favorite companies in this sector and it would help if you would present them in order of most upside to least going forward. I'm open to metals. other than copper as well.

Q: 5i has commented positively regarding Lundin Mining in the past noting its strong balance sheet, valuation, and healthy dividend. On March 27, Lundin Mining announced that it has entered into a binding purchase agreement with JX Nippon Mining & Metals to acquire 51% of the issued and outstanding equity of SCM Minera Lumina Copper Chile. Mr. Market seems to love the deal if today's trading is any indication. Is 5i similarly enthusiastic about the deal?

Thank you as always for your expertise.

Q: Hi there,

Lundin has good mines and good ones coming on line in the next 2-3 years. The growth potential is good. Why the stock is a good buying opportunity. Is the dividend safe and can it grow. Is their business model still good. Rick Rule has great compliments of the Lundin family. In advance, thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
