RE: ----AA BUY-BACK AGREEMENT: XTR RACECOURSE--9 Oct 2021 18:20
One aspect that shouldn't be discounted is the copper price rising further in the next 12-24 months as Racecourse is further proved up. Many see the copper price close to the ATHs and think that is it and copper won't rally any higher. But from the lows of 2001 to the highs of 2006, coper rose circa 470%. From the 2020 lows, we are only 100% up in the copper price and there is the potential copper could have a lot further to run, giving a potentially better sale price for Racecourse in the future.
I am not for one moment expecting this or including this in my price predictions, as I prefer to be conservative in my assumptions. But nevertheless a higher copper price could be the cherry on top, if the stars align here.
Copper as a commodity is also changing to a degree as the electrification of everything gathers steam. Not only do we have the electrification of emerging economies, but we have the ongoing electrification of transport, with more copper used in cars and charging infrastructure, as well as more copper intensive forms on energy generation (solar and wind farms). I think many governments around the world are beginning to comprehend the scale of the copper they will need to deliver on promises made to the electorate regarding the zero-emission future.
