Q: Hi.

I want to invest in a Mining company that engages in copper mining as well as other minerals. I have been reading alot about the renewable energy market and I feel as though copper, aluminum, lithium, cobalt, as well as other minerals linked to renewable energy will be continuing to grow in demand. I know that as a commodity Copper is low right now. I was looking for a shorter term investment (1 to 3 years) as well as a longer term investment (5 to 10 years) in a good mining company that mines for minerals linked to renewable energy. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks

Rob

Q: Of the 5 mining Co's, which one would you say is most globally diversified with best growth prospects, if the world doesnt hiccup too badly with current trade rhetoric ? Or maybe, a Co. not mentioned, I know Teck is the largest-diversified, but maybe another has more torque to the upside of a particular metal, maybe gold/ lithium miner ? I'm seeking Cdn competitive advantage with U.S dollar revenues.

Q: Do you see the trade spat with China and USA having a large negative effect on copper and zinc prices, or small hiccup?
Would you favor HBM here for exposure to copper and zinc for the next 4-6 quarters, or spread money in a basket approach in the four names I mentioned? I know TK is small right now and TV has lots of shares.

Q: Hi Peter,

Please list 5-6 mining stocks (other than gold) for growth. I own TV and TECK.B at 2% weighting each. Medium to high risk, short and long term.

Thanks.

Q: What do you thinks of HBM's recent news release:
* HUDBAY MINERALS INC - PRODUCTION OF COPPER FORECAST TO DECREASE BY APPROXIMATELY 15%, PRODUCTION OF ZINC IS FORECAST TO DECREASE BY APPROXIMATELY 13% and PRODUCTION OF PRECIOUS IS FORECAST TO INCREASE BY ABOUT 31% COMPARED TO 2017 PRODUCTION - SEES 2018 TOTAL CAPEX OF $245 MILLION
The market seems to be punishing them and I wondered if this is now dead money or if this is an over reaction. I have held HBM in a cash account for 2 years and have seen it grow 200%. I want to continue with exposure to the Basic Materials sector to ride the global growth theme (I also own a full position in TV) and wondered if I should HOLD or SELL HBM. If sell, what would you recommend replacing it with in the same sector,

Many Thanks
Scott

Q: Hello 5i,

I know you have a bullish view of zinc and recommend TV (which I currently own) for exposure to the metal. I'm wondering if you also have a bullish view on copper?
If so, what would be your recommended strategy for exposure to this base metal? Would you recommend owning a company that is exposed to both metals, or two separate companies that focus on each metal?

Thanks again and Merry Christmas!

Q: Hi, what is your outlook for base metals for the next 12 months?
Do you feel a need to have exposure?
If so, please rank the above three in terms of your preference. If you have a favourite outside of the list, please share. I own a bit of teck.b already.
Thank you
Karim
