-
Copper price outlook remains strong based on fundamentals, despite recent geopolitical uncertainty
-
The World Bank expects growth in developing economies to reach 4.5% this year and 4.7% in 2019
-
Demand for refined copper increased rapidly throughout the first half of this year, driven primarily by the Chinese construction industry
-
A lack of significant copper discoveries will likely cause this supply deficit to exacerbate

LACK OF GREENFIELD PROJECTS
After recent heavy growth, new mine development has stalled
-
✓ Over recent years, ~15 greenfield copper projects larger than 50ktpa were commissioned.
-
✓ In contrast, only 2 large projects are currently under construction and paired with long greenfield approval lead times, no new significant projects are anticipated to transition into production until at least 2020.
-
✓ This will create a unique opportunity for all near term copper producers that will see a strong uplift in the Cu price resulting from demand exceeding supply.
-
✓ In the past 3 years, capital investment across the major copper players globally fell ~50% from $28bn to $14bn.
COPPER PROJECTS RECENTLY COMPLETED AND THOSE APPROVED AND IN CONSTRUCTION:
