Hi Darren,
For copper exposure in our Active Growth Portfolio we already hold Sandfire Resources (SFR) plus BHP Group (BHP) and Evolution Mining (EVN) who both generate more than ~25% of their revenue from Cu. Hence if we wanted to consider Capstone Copper Corp (CSC) it would most likely be as a replacement to SFR.
Dual-listed, Canadian-based Capstone Copper Corp (CSC) only began trading on the ASX on 8 April. For those not familiar with the miner, its almost twice as large as Sandfire with a market cap. of $7.8bn compared to SFR at $4bn. At this stage the two miners are moving in sync with the underlying Cu price:
- Since Cu reversed lower in late May CSC has corrected 23% and SFR 17%.
At this stage we are happy to stay with the strength of SFR but will be evaluate CSC over the courser of time.
NB Macquarie have slapped an Outperform on CSC with a target ~over 20% above todays close.
