What is the LNG industry really worth to the WA economy?
Andreas Lundberg
January 21, 2022
If you think the giant Liquefied Natural Gas industry is a tax and jobs creating engine for the West Australian economy, you might be surprised by some recent research by The Australia Institute. They have found that, in 2020/21, tax collected was around half the money generated from motor vehicle registrations. And LNG jobs represented less than 1 per cent of total jobs. continue…

Roger Montgomery
December 10, 2021
If you haven’t already heard about the looming shortage of AdBlue, you soon will. You see, AdBlue, is needed to run the diesel engines of trucks and farm machinery and hospital generators.

Why Chinese property worries affect us all
Andreas Lundberg
September 23, 2021
As you’ve probably read, China’s number two property developer, Evergrande, is on the verge of collapse, dragged down by excessive debt and an inability to take on more debt. Evergrande’s woes have helped send the price of iron ore plummeting – not to mention the share prices of our largest miners: BHP, Rio and Fortescue. My concern is that the problems besetting the Chinese property market will have repercussions well beyond the miners and their investors. continue…

The 3 red lines that could bring iron ore prices back to earth
Andreas Lundberg
July 1, 2021
Chinese property construction accounts for close to 30 per cent of world seaborn iron ore demand, and is probably the most important demand driver impacting the iron ore price. But with Chinese regulators trying to crimp the sector, population growth turning negative, and urbanization peaking, I think today’s lofty iron ore price will prove to be short-lived. continue…

Joseph Kim
June 7, 2021
Capricorn Metals is a junior gold company that is entering an exciting time in its development phase. With the company very close to first gold pour and commissioning underway at its 100 per cent owned Karlawinda project in WA, we believe there is significant re-rating potential if the company successfully executes on targeted project metrics over the next 6-12 months. continue…

Roger Montgomery
April 8, 2021
According to Roskill Information Services, demand for lithium-ion batteries will increase more than ten-fold over the decade to 2029. This will inevitably lift demand – and prices – for the minerals required to make the batteries. And this should put some Australian miners in the box seat to profit from the next energy revolution. continue…
