  • Soaring Tenke Costs Affect Lundin Mining and Freeport-McMoRan [View article]
    I don't see Lundin operating as an independent company before this year is over. It is selling well below the 9.08 Book value at the end of 2007. With Cooper prices soring, and with Lundin having less than 100 million in Debt, and it will be takeover if it meets the estimates for Q1.
    If FCX is going to have to pay for Lundin's part of the mine expansion, it would be cheap for FCX to takeover Lundin at a price of 1.5 to 2.0 times book and assume all of the profits of the mine. Lundin is a small company with great growth potential, selling below NAV because the previous CEO was cooking the books on recent mergers. The new CEO is almost done cleaning the mess, and if Lundin meets earnings in Q1 it will be on its way to earn 90 cents for 2008 which will put the company at an 8 P/E well below the industry average.
