Industry Overview “The Mining sector comprises establishments that extract naturally occurring mineral solids, such as coal and ores; liquid minerals, such as crude petroleum; and gases, such as natural gas. The term mining is used in the broad sense to include quarrying, well operations, beneficiating (e.g., crushing, screening, washing, and flotation), and other preparation customarily performed at the mine site, or as a part of mining activity.” THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR --Bureau of Statistics--
Industry Overview • Strong yet volatile outlook for metals/mining industry • Current focus continued growth through expanded production. • The demand for metals/energy faces no foreseeable threats. • Mining = incredibly capital intensive difficult MKT entry • Only a handful of blue chip companies have the means to reach production.
Industry Overview • E&P(exploration and production) miners are often weeded out altogether. • The potential profits for these “junior miners” are rarely realized. • Projects that lack funding are abandoned INCLUDING many with fundamentally sound operational strategies. • Against this economic setting, Sandstorm has spotted what it hopes to be a MORE than just “golden” opportunity.
