Building Green Energy Metals Royalty Co.: John Davies TNR Gold - Understanding The Commodity Cycle Is Critical Within Mining And Exploration.



"The daily price fluctuation is ‘part and parcel’ of the commodities sector and reflects countless matters, often highly speculative in nature and equally should be expected. Certainly profiting from said movement may be alluring to investors in the immediate term but the great investment success stories come in ‘the long game’, having a position and seeing the fundamental qualities of the underlying commodity reflected in the market price. 
‘Long game’, not days, weeks or even months but years and with said approach, when directed proper, will reward investors for their insights. Quite naturally understanding the commodity cycle is critical within mining and exploration but equally savvy investors need to both understand said cycle and use to their advantage in a ‘long game’ contrarian strategy. 


This is possibly never more important than the present where technological advancements come at rapid fire pace and the mining and exploration sector will be put to the utmost test. From the ‘EV revolution’ and related battery storage sector and the remarkable growth of ‘green energy’, as well as global infrastructure demands, our society is making extraordinary advancements but with each, the critical ingredient comes via mining. 
Each of these great advancements places a heavy burden on metals and in many instances, none more obvious than copper, as forecasted demand in the coming years is far greater than present supply lines. Further exacerbated by the recent retracement of copper prices, brought on primarily by concerns of the consequences of a global trade war and strength of the American dollar, there is not remotely sufficient new projects coming on stream to match demand. 


Said simply, the price of copper has the potential of significant upward movement for many years to come. 
Wise investors should consider this situation, understand the potential opportunities in the sector and weigh against risks and their risk tolerance but always consider from a standpoint of a ‘long game’ strategy. 
At TNR Gold we possess the ‘winning long game strategy’ that understands the vast possibilities ahead with the remarkable growth phases in the ‘EV’ and ‘green energy’ revolution and furthermore believe potential retracement in said commodity cycle provides tremendous investment opportunities.  
In the coming months we will unveil our innovations in the area of capital financing, how we prioritise creating maximal shareholder value and how investors can participate in a company that understands the enormous benefits that the ‘green energy revolution’ provides society as a whole for generations to come.  
TNR Gold, the company that goes beyond the Balance Sheet. We build."

"But the investment that could return really big bucks is another NSR that TNR holds in the Los Azules copper project in Argentina, currently being developed by former Goldcorp founder Rob McEwen. TNR holds a 0.36% NSR royalty on the project, which could return $35 billion over a 35-year mine life. A looming copper crunch as the market could move into structural deficit by 2020 means that major mining companies are hungry to pounce on attractive projects being developed by juniors. A preliminary economic assessment shows that Los Azules could deliver 415 million pounds (188,241 metric tons) of copper production a year for the first ten years of mine life with cash costs of $1.11 a pound, according to TNR. 
“Investors are putting a larger discount on our cash flow because people do not expect that McEwen Mining will put this project into production,” Klip said. “All majors are looking for a good copper project and there is more and more interest.

Green Energy Metals Royalty Co. TNR Gold: Mariana Lithium And Ganfeng - Chinese Lithium Giant Agrees Three-Year Pact To Supply Tesla.



We have discussed a lot with you here our Green Energy Metals Royalty Co. vision and the world-class assets in TNR Gold Royalty Portfolio. The new presentation by Rob McEwen has properly introduced you to "the sleeping giant" Los Azules Copper with McEwen Mining as the operator. TNR Gold holds NSR Royalty on the entire project. This is the essence of our business model when industry leaders are operators on the world-class projects providing us in the future with the potential cash flow royalty streams. Today our Lithium Story comes back to life. 

TNR Gold has founded International Lithium Corp in 2009 and now we hold NSR Royalty on Mariana Lithium project in Argentina where Ganfeng Lithium is the operator. Our strategic priority is to protect this holding. News about Ganfeng and Tesla lithium supply deal confirms our long discussions on this blog about the security of supply for critical metals for Tesla Green Energy rEVolution. 

Finally, Tesla is coming to secure the lithium supply from the real source. There is some information that this deal is not new news and part of the Ganfeng IPO PR promotion, but it is not so important here. The logic was quite straightforward: Ganfeng supplies lithium to Panasonic, Panasonic supplies Tesla with lithium cells. Now Tesla will receive lithium supply directly from Ganfeng. 

Ganfeng's IPO in Hong Kong will start another chapter for this company, hopefully, Mariana Lithium will have its important place in that book as well. TNR Gold Royalty model secures the exposure to Green Energy Metals like Copper and Lithium without any additional allocation of capital and industry leaders like McEwen Mining and Ganfeng Lithium provide necessary de-risking profiles to our holdings. Our congratulations go to the hard-working teams at Ganfeng Lithium and Tesla today!

TNR Gold Fine Tuning Royalty Model For Green Energy Metals.





 | MAY 08, 2018 |

Renowned mining investor Frank Holmes has spoken out about his fondness of mining royalty companies.
In terms of value proposition, they outperform mining equities and serve the important role of connecting exploration plays with financiers during lean bear markets, he says.
Kirill Klip, CEO and President of TNR Gold Corp. (TSXV: TNR), fell into this business model when he bought shares in gold mining royalty company Royal Gold for about $5 each, back when gold traded at $300 an ounce (it hasn’t traded in the $300s since 2003). He cashed out of that investment at over $70 a share and has been hooked on the royalty model ever since, where royalty proceeds funnel into new opportunities, he told InvestorIntel.
Klip says his version of a royalty company is slanted towards metals with high exposure to usage in electrical vehicles – lithium, copper, and even gold. His most mature investment to date is a position in International Lithium Corp. (TSXV: ILC), in which TNR holds a 14.1% equity interest after convertible debentures and warrants are exercised and a 1.8% net smelter royalty (NSR) on the Mariana brine project in Argentina. The key to this project is the involvement of joint venture partner Ganfeng Lithium Co., one of China’s largest processors of the material.
But the investment that could return really big bucks is another NSR that TNR holds in the Los Azules copper project in Argentina, currently being developed by former Goldcorp founder Rob McEwen. TNR holds a 0.36% NSR royalty on the project, which could return $35 billion over a 35-year mine life. A looming copper crunch as the market could move into structural deficit by 2020 means that major mining companies are hungry to pounce on attractive projects being developed by juniors. A preliminary economic assessment shows that Los Azules could deliver 415 million pounds (188,241 metric tons) of copper production a year for the first ten years of mine life with cash costs of $1.11 a pound, according to TNR.
“Investors are putting a larger discount on our cash flow because people do not expect that McEwen Mining will put this project into production,” Klip said. “All majors are looking for a good copper project and there is more and more interest.”
Despite higher prices, other externalities have evolved in favor Los Azules. Investors have returned to Argentina thanks to the reformist policies of Mauricio Macri, who was elected president in 2015 following a decade of rule by protectionist policies by Cristina Fernandez and her predecessor and husband, Nestor Kirchner. Macri’s government fared well during key mid-term elections last October, providing investors with greater optimism that he will be elected to a second term next year. The Argentine government recently signed a bilateral agreement with Chile, a key milestone for Los Azules which straddles the border of both countries.
The third major component in TNR’s portfolio is the Shotgun gold project, located close to NovaGold and Barrick Gold’s Donlin project in Alaska. Early resource numbers suggest the project holds 20.7 million tons of ore with an average gold grade of 1.06 grams a ton, with a 0.5 g/t cut-off grade. Barrick and NovaGold’s project obtained a key environmental approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in April, indicating the government of Donald Trump is more amenable to mining in Alaska. Once again, external factors are moving in TNR Gold’s favor.
Klip’s next step with Shotgun is to find an exploration partner of the same caliber as McEwen. One of TNR’s board members, Greg Johnson, founded NovaGold and was instrumental in the discovery of Donlin. He is entrusted with the task of finding that partner, Klip said. Don’t bet against TNR repeating the success it has had so far in ILC and Los Azules."

Bloomberg:


"China’s top producer of lithium, a metal used in electric-vehicle batteries, said it’s agreed a deal with Tesla Inc. to supply a fifth of its production to the vehicle maker, highlighting the push for supply pacts. 
Tesla will designate its battery suppliers to buy lithium-hydroxide products from Ganfeng Lithium Co. and its unit, the Jiangxi-based company said in a filing to the Shenzhen exchange on Friday. The agreement runs from 2018 to 2020 and could be extended by three years, Ganfeng said. Its shares jumped. 
Electric-vehicle producers including Elon Musk’s Tesla are pushing to secure supplies of lithium for batteries as investors and mining companies gauge the potential for growth in the industry. Still, the burgeoning market has been roiled in 2018 by price declines, and forecasts from some banks that a wave of new mining projects will outpace demand growth."

Gold And Commodities In The Debt Cycle: Ray Dalio - "US Dollar Can Easily Depreciate 30% During The Next Debt Crisis".



Is it only me? Why is it so difficult to buy assets at the bottom and so easy to chase bubbles and running away stocks in a friendly herd rushing to the slaughterhouse? Ray Dalio gives the answer: if you have to actively manage your money go against your instincts: "buy when there is a blood on the streets and sell when times are good". 



Nothing is new here - it all sounds very familiar, but the execution is making all the difference as usual. These simple investment principles have made fortunes and lack of emotional discipline has separated millions of brave investors and their money. This is a human nature to do exactly the opposite: selling at the bottom and buying at the top.




We have a lot of signals pointing to the higher prices of Gold and Commodities these days. Ray Dalio is talking about the most significant catalyst among all of them in his new book: "A Template For Understanding Big Debt Crises". "US Dollar Can Easily Depreciate 30% During The Next Debt Crisis" - this warning from the man who is managing the world largest hedge fund is coming as very sobering. And a time frame for this next debt crisis is very close - "next couple of years" according to Ray Dalio.


Only the future will tell whether he is right that "a feeling is not the indication of the future".  The book is free and everybody can have it and it is definitely worth to study the templates of 48 crises described in his study. Otherwise, it can be such a pity that we all had the warning but still could not do anything and escape the herd's destiny getting closer and closer to the slaughterhouse.





TNR Gold's Shotgun Project: Mining M&A - NovaGold’s Laser-focused Strategy Of Unlocking The Value Of Donlin Gold In Alaska After Newmont Buys Out Share Of Galore Creek.



This is why I am calling TNR Gold's Shotgun Gold project location in Alaska "Gold in Alaskan Elephant Country":

“This transaction is a win-win for all parties,” said Thomas Kaplan, NovaGold’s chairman. “For NovaGold’s shareholders, it is the continuation of a laser-focused strategy of unlocking the value of its assets and transforming the company into a pure play on Donlin gold, which we believe is the most important gold development story in the industry.”





Now Nova Gold has more capital to advance Donlin Gold and Alaska is getting back into mining business with the new wave of M&A activity in mining. The driving force for the next wave of consolidation in mining will be the lack of available exploration capital for the mining juniors due to the down cycle in the Gold market and smaller and smaller returns on the invested capital with the exploration in the green fields. 





To put it simply: it is harder and harder to find the promising projects with the initial confirmed resource, blue sky exploration potential, and stable mining jurisdiction to capitalize on the major gold discovery. I believe, that TNR Gold's Shotgun project is well placed in this part of the cycle in order to attract the major strategic partner for its development.

Don’t bet against TNR repeating the success it has had so far in ILC and Los Azules."



Alaska is coming back in play as the best jurisdiction for the elephant style Gold deposits on the American soil. Barrick and Nova Gold are moving forward the giant Donlin Gold deposit and now the whole region play will bring the reevaluation for all players involved.
