AA in Zambia22 May 2021 12:49
AA have their copper mines, jointly owned in Chile and Peru. Their looking for a different country to invest in, as the political climate in S America can change suddenly. Causing wage problems, as recently happened in Chile. Strikes, as workers ask for better terms of employment. Socialist parties looking to gain power via government, leading to nationalisation of local businesses. This is unpredictable and when a major is invested to the tune of $bn, can be very problematic. Lots of majors are looking to Zambia, and nearby for the next wave of investment to production. Its not just AA that are coming back to Africa, its getting more attractive to do business in Africa than say 25-30 years ago. Morning all of the regulars, bit of mayhem and upheaval by some on here in the last two days. Macro economics is now in play in the Central Copper belt, that's a really good sign that M+A is going to happen over the coming years. Remy is positioning for this scenario, with the purchase of the Botswana license. Only by looking at the bigger picture, do you see what's going to happen in the future. Australia went thru a similar phase in 2015, now everyone and his dog is drilling there. GGP, had £5k @ 0.5p and stupidly sold out, Doh Doh Doh. Bah Bah Bah.
