Copper Prices Rebound On Tight Supply; Acquisition Of Julong Copper To Support Long-term Expansion
Zijin announced the acquisition (50.1% equity stake) of the largest greenfield copper mine in China for Rmb3.88b.
Phase 1 is expected to be completed by end-21, with output of 165k tpa copper and 6.2k tpa molybdenum.
We think the acquisition was made to support long-term expansion, but we see little material impact from it on Zijin's operations in the near term.
Copper prices have rallied with market concerns over supply tightness, given the production disruption at the South African mines.
Maintain BUY and raise target price to HK$4.05.
