Copper, Zinc And Aluminium: 505% From The "Dullest" Metals In The World

Date 10/06/2008
Profit Hunter | By Manraaj Singh

Thanks to three of the world’s dullest metals, Anil Agarwal, is now a multi-billionaire.

Forget gold... kiss goodbye to silver... because there’s another opportunity in town.

Agarwal discovered this in 1976 when he founded Vedanta Resources to capitalise on the world’s need for ‘dull’ metals.

I’m talking about copper... aluminium... zinc... metals you’d never usually batter an eyelid over.

But right now China, India and the emerging market economies gobble these minerals up like there’s no tomorrow.

They go into everything from industrial machinery to the TV in every family’s living room.

Find a company with these resources in abundance, and you’re onto a winner.

Well that’s what we’ve found here at Profit Hunter...

505% in five years

In fact we believe it could be a monster of a share in a few years time.

To get an idea of the size of this opportunity just consider UK-listed miner Vedanta Resources.

The company is controlled by Indian-born, London-based billionaire, Agarwal.

Forbes magazine estimates his worth at $6 billion. Obviously a chap who knows his business. But he’s not the only one laughing all the way to the bank!

Shareholders in his company are too. The stock has soared 505% in the last five years!

Tapping into the emerging markets colossal demand

Now Vedanta says it plans on investing $20 billion in India over the next four years to expand its metals, mining and electricity generation operations.

Agarwal is banking on growing demand for metals from India’s automotive, power and consumer goods sectors to support his group’s ambitious expansion plans...

Smart move. The company’s Indian subsidiary, Sterlite Industries, is already India’s biggest producer of aluminium, copper and zinc.

And India’s rapid growth is fuelling massive demand for the sort of metals that Vedanta deals in.

Demand for copper in India is growing 10% per year, aluminium 12% and zinc 14%...

The sorts of metals that Vedanta deals in aren’t as glamorous as gold or silver, and you probably aren’t going to hear many people talking about them.

But they are very profitable.

That $20 billion Vedanta plans on investing is meant for organic growth only.

Agarwal says the group’s presence in emerging markets means it can achieve high-growth by developing projects itself, rather than buying new assets.

They aren’t cannibalising market share from other players, they’re betting on a growing market.

Vedanta isn’t just investing in mines and smelters. It’s going to spend about $10 billion to build a network of commercial power plants with 10,000 megawatts of generating capacity to support its operations.

This is a bet on India’s long-term growth story continuing. It’s a bet on demand for these metals continuing to rise...

How to make sure you’re ready for this brilliant opportunity

A continent away, we’ve seen China pledge to invest $9 billion in the Congo to gain access to that country’s massive mineral resources.

It’s the same story here as in India... and this is where our new recommendation comes into its own.

China is growing at a frantic pace and needs to get its hands on the resources that it needs to feed its massive industrial machine.

So, we’re following the Dragon right into the Heart of Darkness itself - the Democratic Republic of Congo - because this where you’ll find one vital mineral that is essential to modern life... and the one company preparing to bring it to market.

We’re just putting the final touches on this exclusive report. You can’t invest in this mineral directly, but we’ll show you a backdoor way to get in on this brilliant opportunity...
