Metalicity (ASX: MCT, Share Price: $0.064, Market Cap: $22m) is effectively a brand-new zinc/lithium play, following the acquisition of the large and advanced Admiral Bay zinc project in Western Australia in late 2014. The company has also since acquired prospective lithium-tantalum tenements in Western Australia’s Pilbara region, host to some of the world’s largest hard-rock lithium and tantalum projects.
Read MoreKibaran Resources (ASX: KNL, Share Price: $0.18, Market Cap: $30m) is one of our preferred graphite sector exposures due to the highly measured approach the company is taking to achieve production status. Kibaran maintains aggressive exploration and appraisal activity with respect to its various Tanzanian graphite projects, although its flagship Epanko project remains the current focus.
Read MoreStrike Energy (ASX: STX, Share Price: $0.12, Market Cap: $100m) is our preferred ‘unconventional’ energy play.

Read MoreTalisman Mining (ASX: TLM, Share Price: $0.47, Market Cap: $68m) is one of our favourite exploration plays. Its flagship Springfield exploration project in Western Australia involves a seemingly company-making farm-out JV with Sandfire Resources (ASX: SFR), under which Sandfire can earn up to a 70% stake in three of Talisman’s projects by spending at least $15m over a 5½-year period.
Read MoreAs Reuters journalist Alex Lawler reminded us this week, “It used to be said of OPEC that it was like a teabag – it only worked in hot water.” If that’s the case, conditions on world oil markets require OPEC to step up to the plate, with crude oil trading at close-to-seven-year lows of $40 a barrel.

A number of important and positive developments have taken place over the past 12 months. Firstly, its share price has stabilized following several years of decline; its Ramu nickel-cobalt project is producing solidly and first cash flows have been received; uncertainty surrounding the Frieda copper-gold project has gone; and corporate interest has grown as metals trader Trafigura boosted its stake to 16%.

Read MoreMetalicity (ASX: MCT, Share Price: $0.024, Market Cap: $9m) is effectively a brand new zinc play, after altering its business activity from health care to mineral exploration and acquiring the advanced Admiral Bay zinc project in Western Australia. The acquisition was announced in late 2014, however the company had to comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules, which means it has only just re-listed.

It was there when the company merged with Xstratra more than two years ago. What’s exacerbated the situation however has been the subsequent decline in commodity prices and softer Chinese demand, which have placed enormous strain on the company’s balance sheet – and financial viability.

We introduced the stock to our Portfolio during April 2014 and our most recent coverage was in our Daily Resources Bulletin on 27th July. Kibaran continues to maintain aggressive exploration and appraisal activity with respect to all its advanced Tanzanian graphite projects, although its flagship Epanko project remains very much the current focus.

Read MoreIronbark Zinc (ASX: IBG, Share Price: $0.12, Market Cap: $51m) is the first pure zinc exposure that we have incorporated into our Portfolio since we began way back in December 2010. The rationale for this has been quite clear – zinc has until recently been a poor-performer from a pricing perspective – hence there has been no sound reason to this point to recommend zinc equities. Nevertheless, we have covered zinc extensively from a sector perspective and we have consistently highlighted the looming supply gap that would emerge. We are now approaching a critical point in terms of declining supplies from existing zinc sources, which we believe justifies the introduction of a world-class emerging zinc producer.

The company’s exposure to the nickel potential of the Fraser Range province in WA, the copper-gold potential of Peru and gold potential of Burkina Faso is paying dividends.

December Quarterly Report: Q2 FY2023Looking past the rain – there’s a rainbow.TerraCom released their operating results for the December quarter FY2023 with operating metrics being in line with our forecasts. Unseasonal rains in both Australia and South Africa contributed to operational and logistical issues across all mines, however guidance for annual production at Blair Athol is unaffected and highlights the quality of TerraCom’s skills in operational management. We continue to like the stable operating metrics around the company’s Australian operations and see potential for the South African operations to benefit from increased management focus given the rationalisation of operations following the closure of the Ubuntu mine. Corporate Connects overall financials remain unchanged as does our target price of $1.35 share. We maintain our forecast for a fully franked quarterly dividend of 7.5c/share to be paid in the March and June quarters of FY2023. |

DOWNLOAD RESEARCH REPORTSigns MOU with Ford Company – Kachi is now sold out!Lake Resources (LKE. ASX) – LKE has signed two non-binding MOU’s in the space of 10 days. Ford Company (Ford) has signed an MOU for ~25,000t/year and last week Hanwa, a Japanese commodity trader signed a MOU for up to 25,000t/year. Subject to execution, this is an amazing feat as Ford and Hanwa are prepared to enter into longer-term strategic partnerships with LKE. Commercial negotiations are still ongoing but are expected, especially if Ford & Hanwa inject new equity into LKE, to further de-risk the project financing & thus ensure LKE and Kachi are fully funded. |

Promising exploration and development update while SOP prices continue to riseTwo recent gravity surveys have considerably exceeded expectations and revealed potential for extensions to the existing MRE at Lake Throssell, plus a material growth opportunity at Lake Yeo. This reinforces the potential for a multi-decade, Tier-1 SOP production hub based around Lake Throssell. TMG is currently completing work towards the PFS due early 2023, including drilling to start in Q3 2022, evaporation trials and permitting activities. Results from these programs will support the PFS and any future resource upgrade. Benchmark SOP prices have risen to ~US$940/t due to recent geopolitical developments. The Oct 2021 Scoping Study assumed a SOP price of US$550/t and contained a sensitivity analysis showing every 10% increase in price drives a +$144m increase in the project NPV of $364m. The c.70% increase above the Scoping Study thus implies a project NPV of ~$1.4bn. |
