So a well-positioned player in the market stands to do very well indeed.<\/p>\n

And not only that, but since the world is all about green energy these days, and copper is playing and will continue to play a key role in that greening, it can now come with all sorts of attached environmental and social credentials too.<\/p>\n

What’s the best way in, though?<\/p>\n

t<\/a, balancing their copper production with major output energy and the other base metals.<\/p>\n

But focussing on the larger producers comes with its own issues.<\/p>\n

With the super-majors, the copper exposure is obviously diluted by other commodities.And what you gain with the pure-play producers, you can lose with jurisdictional risk.<\/p>\n

Of the world’s twenty largest copper mines, fourteen are in Central or South America, three are in Africa, one is in Russia, and one is in Indonesia.<\/p>\n

That leaves the Morenci mine, located in the USA and EvdeN eVE nAKLiYat<\/a> owned by Freeport McMoRan, as the only major copper producing asset situated in what’s traditionally-termed the Western World.<\/p>\n

That in itself is another factor favouring copper bulls.<\/p>\n
